RINSE​, the solo project of Brisbane, Australia artist ​Joe Agius​, has been brought out of the bedroom and into the light with new single ​Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me​.Agius started writing and recording songs in his parents’ garage back in 2012. After a small run of limited releases, sporadic hometown shows and years on the backburner while other creative projects took focus—Agius also produces, co-writes and plays live in ​Hatchie—​ he found himself with a collection of songs that warranted giving the project renewed attention and a fresh start.Now, RINSE features a rotating cast of collaborators and live members, with Agius squarely at the centre. Musically, it gravitates towards post-punk, shoegaze and new-wave sounds, influenced by artists like ​New Order​, ​Echo &amp; The Bunnymen​, ​The Cure​ and ​Pale Saints​.Recorded in late 2019, ​Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me was mixed by ​Jorge Elbrecht (Ariel Pink, Japanese Breakfast, Wild Nothing, Sky Ferreira) and mastered by ​Heba Kadry ​(Bjork, Slowdive, Beach House, Deerhunter). Agius says, ​“sonically, it ​sits in the middle of a lot of the music I have been recording, and for that reason feels like the right place to begin.”The Nick Maguire​-shot ​video features Hatchie’s ​Harriette Pilbeam on keys and ​Ritchie Daniell on drums, Babaganouj’s ​Charles Sale and The Creases’ ​Aimon Clark on guitar and Morning Harvey’s ​Steve Kempnich​ on bass.“I wanted the video for Tell Me to be simple and performance based, as there was a lot of energy in the recording I felt was best expressed that way visually. Black Bear Lodge where the clip is set is a usual weekend spot in Brisbane, a venue where I played a lot of my first shows, and it holds a lot of sentimental value to me. Most of my band of pals in the video also helped perform on the song in the studio too,” ​explains Agius.
