Five years ago, Chris Quinton (CQ), Ben Graham, Bryce Crocombe and Josh Rea formed Dancer. At Carte Blanche Music, we’ve been supporters of the Aussie band from the start. You can read all about their earlier releases here.

Since 2021’s EP Fears, things have gone quiet around the band. That’s because these past years have been a time of emotional turbulence, burnout, and the band’s unexpected label departure. That’s why recording new material has taken three years. Next up: a new EP called All My Best Friends, which details a raw exploration of friendship, resilience, and self-discovery. It’s both a tribute to their bond and a reflection of the struggles they faced in the process.

But first, here’s its first single Wrap Around Me. The band started working on the song in 2019, and thanks to producer Luke O’Dea, they’ve finally been able to finish it. Sounding like The Killers in their heyday, this is probably the best thing Dancer have done so far. The track explores themes of ego, self-doubt, and a deep yearning for connection, marking a bold new chapter for the band, who are a trio now.

Wrap Around Me by Dancer is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
