GeoffreyO'Connor, one time frontman for euphoric guitar pop band

Crayon Fields, returns with his first solo album in seven years - but is it

really a solo album?

For As Long As I Can Rememberis a suite of duets with some of Australia's

most iconic modern singers, including Jonnine (HTRK), Sarah Mary

Chadwick, Laura Jean, Sui Zhen and more.

The album explores late night tales of unsublimated desire, a synth-pop

cocoon world where obsessions drift slowly into the rear view mirror and

exert an unsteadying backwards pull. Geoffrey's duet partners do not

proffer easy love or solace, rather they challenge him, gently put him

down, or glance back at a history of faded passion.

Other guests include Nicole Thibault of Chapter artists Thibault, Jess

Ribeiro, June Jones, Summer Flake's Steph Crase, Sienna Thornton

(Cyanide Thornton) and Mystery Guest's Caitlyn Lesiuk. Sydney funk

sophisticate Donny Benet appears on bass on two tracks.

Since his previous solo album, 2014 critic favourite Fan Fiction (written up

by Pitchfork, Spin, All Music and elsewhere), Geoffrey has released

Crayon Fields comeback album No One Deserves You (2015) and an

expanded reissue of 2009 classic All the Pleasures Of the World.

He has also produced albums for Sarah Mary Chadwick, June Jones,

Summer Flake and others. Geoffrey has appeared on records by The Pains

Of Being Pure At Heart and Donny Benet, been remixed by Chet Faker,

and was a member of Melbourne psych pop band Montero. He is also an

in-demand video director, making videos for RVG, Bag Raiders, Sarah

Mary Chadwick and many more.

With For As Long As I Can Remember, Geoffrey's bleak dialogues with a starstudded cast make for his most compelling, most affecting album yet.
