Arjuna Oakes & Serebii share another recording from their upcoming EP, "Guava", just as the fragrant pink fruit comes into season. Coming in short and sweet, "Guava" opens with an amorphous intro, with hints of harp sprinkled through, only to quickly turn towards a mandala of sound.
Acording to the duo - "Guava" was originally intended as an interlude track, but grew into an exploration of style and expanse, with elements of Classical, Alternative Electronic Music, House, and Film Scores.
The EP, Final Days, is due out on October 14, 2022.
New Zealand's Arjuna Oakes and Serebii, a.k.a. Callum Mower, previously announced their Final Days EP, out October 14, with the first single "Tired Faces". The duo returns with "Flavour", a soulful tune grounded by an infectious piano melody and vocals by Oakes.

Oakes and Serebii, a.k.a. Callum Mower, met while playing sold out shows together, but they knew then that it was just the beginning of something bigger. They were serving as hired guns in a popular surf rock band, touring their native Aotearoa New Zealand in mid-size venues, tearing it up, helping others realize their musical vision. That was great, but the friendship forged between the two of them in the process was the real bounty: “We got on like a house on fire,” says Mower. “And we’d end up sticking together through festivals or hanging out at parties.”
