POPPONGENE is the alias of multidisciplinary Melbourne artist Sophie Treloar. Originally from Byron Bay, Treloar is now based in Melbourne and is spending her time bringing you devotional dream-pop.
Wet Towel describes the disconnect and parallel release at the end of a relationship. It’s a punchy and sparse song about the multitude of feelings loss brings.

'here' is about hoping you are not the bad guy but suspecting you might be. It’s looking around at all the chaos you have caused and genuinely not understanding how it happened. It’s a pop anthem about being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

| Chitra - A Kind Indie, Alternative | 02/10/2019 |
Drawing on elements of rock’n’roll, contemporary indie-rock and a hint of blues, Chitra’s music provides a rich platform for storytelling, an element of songwriting she is particularly passionate about.
A Kind is a taciturn takedown of a would-be love interest. Chitra delivers this song with one eyebrow raised. It's a song of frustration whilst being a little bit sarcastic about it. To Chitra, it’s a song about standing up for yourself and realising your self worth. With rousing drums and twangy guitar, this is Chitra at her catchiest yet.

'beautiful baby' is about leaving the chaos of a relationship behind. it's about trying to understand how a love that was so beautiful could be a thing that ends. we took a lot of inspiration from the music of twin peaks for this song, hoping to re-imagine the magical spell of angelo badalamenti and julee cruise.

We played this song at our first gig and people have been bugging us to record it ever since so I’m glad that it’s finally around."
