Keanu Nelson

In Wilurarrakutu, Keanu Nelson turns the remote plains of Papunya into a quiet cathedral of sound.

With minimal Casio loops and drum-machine pulses, he recites notebook poems in Luritja and English — about family, desert home and the long lingering of heritage.

A voice born of paint and canvas shifts into songs that feel like whispers from sand and sky. Ambient yet grounded, sacred yet humble, this is one of those rare records that opens a door into an entirely new world and makes you want to stay.
