E4444e Shares 'Ghost' And 'Embers'; Plays Metro Theatre Next Thursday With John Maus

Mulubinba/Newcastle multi-instrumentalist e4444e – the moniker of Romy Church – shares new double single 'Ghost / Embers', out today on Dinosaur City.

Across his prolific back-catalogue, Church has built a sound that is both earthy and elliptical – gentle vocals and delicate guitar set against synth textures and subtle percussion. 'Ghost / Embers' may be his most raw offering yet, each track tracing a different frequency of feeling.

Church shares: "'Ghost' is about the shadows; 'Embers' an almost imperceptible spark. They are both strange love songs maybe. There was an emphasis on directness and raw sounds – a nakedness that Ghost alludes to. Big brushstrokes, transparency and directness, wide obfuscations out in the open, first thought best thought, raw earth and subtle inner shifts, human love and the other love, empathy and fear, trying to be funny and nice, finding and thanking no path."

Both tracks feature contributions from Grace Murphy, who wrote and sung the last stanza to 'Embers' and arranged and performed the harmonies on 'Ghost', and Dougal Mcmullan, who plays percussion.

Church released his fourth full-length album Authentic Natural Tradition in May 2025 to a steady stream of accolades – a cover star on Spotify's Fresh Finds: Folk 10 Year Anniversary, Alt Here and Tapestry playlists, a two-page spread in The Monthly, and features across frankie Magazine, rage and Rolling Stone Australia among others. The album debuted on the AIR Independent Label Charts, and was selected as Album of the Week at fbi.radio on release, with singles met with significant airplay locally and globally – triple j, 2SER, 3RRR, 4ZZZ, WFMU, Byte FM and 1LIVE among many others. e4444e was also invited to showcase at SXSW Sydney following the release.

Catch e4444e live, supporting John Maus on Thursday, April 30 at Metro Theatre, Sydney.
