Husky is an Australian indie folk band from Melbourne led by singer-songwriter Husky Gawenda and multi-instrumentalist Gideon Preiss. Formed in 2008, the group has become known for its lush harmonies, poetic songwriting, and richly textured sound that blends indie folk with indie rock and elements of chamber pop. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, and Paul Simon, Husky creates atmospheric, emotionally resonant songs that balance intimate storytelling with cinematic arrangements. The band gained international recognition with their acclaimed debut album *Forever So* (2011), becoming the first Australian act signed to the iconic American independent label Sub Pop. Since then, Husky has released several critically praised albums, toured extensively throughout Australia, Europe, and North America, and shared stages with artists including Neil Young, The Shins, Gotye, and Devendra Banhart. Renowned for their captivating live performances and sophisticated musicianship, Husky continues to evolve while remaining one of Australia's most respected indie folk acts.
