The Goon Sax is an indie pop trio hailing from Brisbane, Australia. Formed in 2013, the band comprises Riley Jones, Louis Forster, and James Harrison. Notably, Forster is the son of Robert Forster, co-founder of the iconic Australian band The Go-Betweens.
With their unique blend of introspective lyrics and catchy melodies, The Goon Sax has garnered a dedicated following both locally and internationally. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Flowertruck, Body Type, and Dick Diver among others.
Known for their captivating live performances and relatable songwriting style, The Goon Sax continues to make waves in the indie music scene. Their discography includes critically acclaimed albums like "Up to Anything" and "We're Not Talking".

Vinyl variants, bonus material and signed editions exclusively available from Rough Trade.

Since forming in high school, Brisbane band The Goon Sax—the trio of Riley Jones, Louis Forster, and James Harrison, best friends who take turns writing, singing, and playing each instrument— have been celebrated for their unpretentious, kinetic homemade pop. Mirror ll, The Goon Sax’s first album for Matador, is something else entirely: a new beginning, a multi-dimensional eclectic journey of musical craftsmanship that moves from disco to folk to no wave skronk with staggering cohesion. Gone are the first-person insecurities of their school days—they’ve been made expansive, more universal, more weird.

Mirror II is intense, the sum of everything that has always made The Goon Sax great: robust sprech- gesang, raw lyrical candor, ascending guitar pop structures that would make the most storied jangle bands blush, elevated into their newfound narrative verisimilitude and expanded sonic xperiment-tations. Each member’s idiosyncratic style comes across on record: Riley’s bubblegum noise is more present than ever before, Louis’ moody, super- natural avant-pop, and James’ psychedelic folk.
