Calendars (Vinyl LP)

Aotearoa indie torchbearers Papaiti Records have done it again. Welcomer, led by Te Whanganui‑a‑Tara songwriter Miles Sutton, make an open‑hearted return on Calendars. Recorded across Wellington, London, Paris and Kawerau with Jesse Austin‑Stewart and featuring contributions from Eddie Crawshaw (Lake South), Ox Lennon, and Shannen Georgia Petersen (Sports Dreams), the coming‑of‑age record is pure emo-goodness and will have us all holding back tears across ten tracks come June 12. - Flying Out

Calendars is a world-building album that immerses you in the blurry middle between failure and growth. Produced in collaboration with Jesse Austin-Stewart, this debut album brings a lushness of sound and vividness of narrative to Welcomer that allows the intricacies of the songwriting to shine. 

Across 10 tracks, Welcomer dissect the pieces of a life and put them back together in the form of a record that is intentional, ornate and affecting. Gladly, while lead songwriter Miles Sutton spent the intervening years since the group's self-titled EP honing his songwriting, the raw vulnerability has not been lost in the process. In many ways it is a Saturn return album, coming of age to where you feel things slipping away and need to start catching them.
