Foley Release New EP 'Like An Actress' With Stunning Single 'Going Easy'
Fusing sonic vibrancy with a beautifully evolved chapter of songwriting, FOLEY proudly present their new project in five-track EP, LIKE AN ACTRESS.
The arrival of this new collection marks a new touchstone for the Sydney-based indie-pop duo, as they have spent the last year working relentlessly on new music while touring their acclaimed second studio album, That's Life, Baby!
LIKE AN ACTRESS continues to chart the course of FOLEY's previous work, bolstering their catalogue with music that speaks to Ash Wallace and Gabe Everett's ever-expanding realm of influences and sounds. Featuring singles 'CINEMATIC' and 'HONEY', the record shines with charisma and personality.
Recorded across Australia and Aotearoa with collaborators including Josh Naley (also known as the artist Wells*, producer for others including Navvy and Paige), the duo explains that creating LIKE AN ACTRESS was a process that was instantly organic. Pouring into their in-studio environment, using visuals on screen that pulled from '90s and '00s romcoms, Foley were able to get into sonic palette of this project with ease.
As they explain, "We approached this EP with more organic instruments - so that the studio experience was more physical and band driven. The live show is such a crucial part of the project, so we wanted to write the songs even more locked into the show, with live instruments and feel. A lot of them were written with live piano, acoustic guitar, and live drums which is a real change up for us. It really unlocked a new energy in the studio - and the songs have a joy in them that I think you can really hear"
Thematically, LIKE AN ACTRESS navigates observations on identity, love, loss and the complex nature of relationships with others and with oneself ('Suckerpunch', 'Going Easy').
For those who have been on the ride with FOLEY since their early days, this is the type of record that will land with added emotional weight – a graduation in a style and presentation from this talented pair of songwriters. For newcomers, a perfect gateway to one of the best music discoveries of 2026.
"Thematically it's built upon the topics we frequently chat about in our friendship - love, loss, exploration, identity. Because it was written way more organically than previous records, the themes and lyrics feel more joined into the sonics of each track, rather than being a layer of emotion over the top. Everything feels very cohesive, dreamy and fluid which is a fun change!" FOLEY
