Track Listing:Owelu Dreamhouse (pronounced Oh-WAY-lew) the new collaboration from Nkechi Anele(Saskwatch, ex-Olympian, triple j) and Nic Ryan-Glenie (Saskwatch, Let Your Hair Down, The Meltdown, Vance Joy). A sonic combination of cinematic soul, psychedelia, and Afrobeat. The band's namesake is a play on Anele's grandmother's village — Owaelu —  in Nigeria. Lyrically, the music weaves through the complexities of cultural ties between generations.

Former Saskwatch bandmates, the two cut their teeth at the helm of the Melbourne soul resurgence, earning a reputation as one of Naarm's most electrifying live acts. Appearing at major festivals across the country and the world (Glastonbury, Edinburgh Fringe, CMJ, Splendour in the Grass, BluesFest, WOMADelaide, Falls Festival), released four albums, sold out tours and supported Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Maceo Parker, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and Earth, Wind and Fire.
