Dime (Vinyl LP)

Local producer, multi-instrumentalist, and all-round wizard, Callum "Serebii" Mower has announced his outrageously dreamy follow-up to 2023's Inside. On Dime, Mower says he wanted to focus on feeling the fear and putting his voice to the fore of the music anyway, and the results are magnificent. To complete the picture, Callum invited friends Carla Camilleri (Recitals), Leith Sye Towers (Ringlets), Skud Gambosi, Tessa Dillon (Mystery Waitress), and own grandfather to get involved.

For his second full-length LP and most realized release as Serebii yet, Callum Mower had one thing he had to overcome first: he was “terrified” of himself.

After establishing the Serebii project with several albums’ worth of trancing neo-soul and shape-shifting ballads, much of it done in collaboration with fellow New Zealander Arjuna Oakes, Mower had no lack of confidence in his musical abilities. But much of Mower’s focus in the past was on instruments and production—swirling, cinematic instrumentals under his own name or funky art-pop jams with others on vocals. On Dime, however, Mower knew he wanted to push forward with his own singing placed center stage. “It’s exposing,” Mower says of releasing music so heavy on his singing. “It feels like you’re walking into a public space naked.”
