Roo Panes has shared first new music since the release of his 2016 sophomore album Paperweights.

Somethings gorgeous for your Monday, because Monday is a testing time for all of us. It is a fresh track from Roo Panes titled A Message To Myself, and it will help you shake off that ‘the weekend is over’ denial.

Since his 2016 release Paperweights LP Roo Panes has mastered his atmospheric and captivating sound with help from Bassi Fox of Mt Wolf. As delicate piano and violins set the pace, his bold and patient vocals are like a lullaby. He has let himself be vulnerable throughout this track and always gets a positive response from his fans and critics.

Roo explains:

The song started as a minimalist piano concept, with a repetitive piano scale throughout. It felt different from some of my previous tracks. I felt from the get go that the song needed a particular kind of treatment. Being called ‘A Message To Myself’ I wanted it to have a minimalist, intimate, meditative kind of feeling, but I also wanted to express the sheer power and drama of one’s thoughts and have an expansive feeling, so was bit of a balance. Hearing Mt Wolf’s style and knowing that we shared some similar musical tastes I thought he’d be great to work with on it.
