The Remotes are a Melbourne-based indie rock trio formed by Ollie Browne and Kristian Brenchley, musicians previously known for their work in bands like Art of Fighting and S:Bahn. Originally started in the late 1990s as a relaxed side project, the band blended improvisational songwriting with dreamy slow-pop and atmospheric guitar textures. After years of intermittent activity while members lived in different cities, the group reunited in Melbourne and expanded with drummer and multi-instrumentalist Laura MacFarlane. Their 2026 album Ready For It combines gentle vocals, cinematic melodies, hypnotic guitar work, and understated experimental touches. The record moves between serene slowcore, alt-pop, and impressionistic indie rock, showcasing nearly three decades of musical chemistry and evolution.
