Older Announces ‘Selfie’ Album – Set For Release 1 August

Ōhaupō-based band Older (Jel & Julie Legg) release their 4th album Selfie to all streaming platforms on August 1 2025.

Selfie follows on from their previous albums Unmasked (2024), Human+ (2022) and Silence (2019).

The prolific songwriting duet are known for their unique blend of alternative rock – ultimately hard to categorise, Older’s sound is influenced by 70’s Rock, 80’s New Wave, 90’s Britpop and some current Indie / Alternative Rock.

Their productions move effortlessly from stripped-back simplicity to complex arrangements with layers of beautiful vocal harmonies, all underpinned by catchy melodies, solid songwriting and a high-energy, attention-grabbing drive.

The 12 tracks on Selfie are a collection of songs written over 30 years that didn’t quite fit their first 3 albums but found a fitting home on this release as a coherent body of work.

Older’s lyrics are thoughtful, often uplifting & positive, even at times anthemic, simply celebrating being alive. Equally they are observational, often casting a wry smile at life and its varied situations and characters.
