Born out of Melbourne/Naarm’s thriving live music and dance underground, Intermood have built a reputation for immersive, high-energy performances that drift between psychedelic jazz, cosmic disco and left-field electronic music. Loose, rhythmic and deeply movement-focused, the project has steadily evolved from packed local rooms into one of the city’s most exciting live dance acts, driven largely through word of mouth and an ever-growing connection with audiences. Drawing influence from artists like Daft Punk, Soulwax and Todd Terje, their sound moves fluidly through shimmering synth work, driving percussion, dubby low-end and extended instrumental passages, balancing the pulse of club music with the spontaneity of a live band. There’s a warmth and looseness to the project that feels equally suited to late-night dancefloors, open-air festivals and long after-hours sessions. That steady rise has seen the group appear at festivals including Hopkins Creek Festival, Strawberry Fields Festival and the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, while continuing to build an audience across Australia and abroad through streaming platforms, online discovery and an increasingly devoted live following. Following the release of their debut EP Casuarina through Swiss label Stone Pixels, Intermood now prepare to unveil their debut album alongside a second release with the label. Expanding further into house, disco and electronic territory while holding onto the raw energy of their live performances, the project continues to carve out its own distinct space within Australia’s evolving dance and instrumental worlds.
