After a very successful album with his band The Krui3ers (released on vinyl/digital through Melbourne-based record label Music In Exile in 2022), Kalo went back in to the studio to write and record his debut solo album. Friend and collaborator Nicholas Allbrook (Pond) features heavily throughout, including lead single "Ngiya Ga Ngiya" and facilitated the recording of "Nothing's Ever The Same" at Rada Studios in Fremantle.
At 8 years old, Kalo's daughter Kaliza recorded the second verse and chorus of "Paradise", a song of longing for their Worrora Country (north of Derby along the coast).
On "Rain Song" and "Broongool", Kalo invited an important elder and teacher, Matt "Dambal" Martin to sing old Worrora Junba songs (Songs and dances that come from country to composers in their dreams) to which Kalo responded in his signature country/rock style.
Kallum is a true country musician in his observation of daily life around him. Through his lense we get an insight in to many shades of Kimberley life from cowboys and wanderers to local gigs.
