Editor's note

Van She's indie rock with ambient textures

A Sydney band whose songs like 'Sex City' mix indie rock with darker emotional territory.

For their particular blend, start with 'Sex City' or the title track 'Idea of Happiness'. Both show what they do well.

Van She's 2008 debut 'Idea of Happiness' earned an Australian Music Prize nomination, with the title track becoming a slow-burning indie anthem. Songs like 'Sex City' and 'Strangers' show their particular blend of indie rock and ambient textures. Their lyrics often lean into darker emotional territory without losing melodic appeal.

Formed in Sydney in 2005 around singer Matt Van Schie, the band released 'Idea of Happiness' in 2008. After Van Schie left in 2010, the remaining members continued with albums like 2012's 'V' and 2017's 'Strange News from Another World'. Their sound evolved while maintaining that mix of indie rock and ambient textures.
