Yo nhamirr bukmak (How are you everyone) Lurrkun nha bulu Walu ga Munha, Bala dhu (Bawuypawuy) mirr Dhawatdhuna Worldlil. Miridhirr ngarraka marr-djulngi dhirr ngarra dhu milgurrupan nhumalang-gal ngarraku Music Video ga Song. Ma 😊

One week til we release our first single and video ‘Bawuypawuy’ I can’t wait to show you! 😊

Come along for the ride as Arnhem land's Terry Guyula from Drifting Clouds surfs the high skies in a Feature Video that welcomes the changing of the seasons and the circle of life.
 
‘Rarrandharr’ makes up one of the six distinctive seasons of the Yolngu people, with this track acknowledging the end of the hot and dry season (Rarrandharr) both literally and figuratively. The band was originally conceived in the homelands of Bunhungura in the Northern Territory, but this latest music video sees Terry hitting the city lights of Sydney, driving a Porsche convertible and surfing the clouds on a magical synthesiser (all in a day's work really). “I was really excited when making a Music Video in Sydney,” says Terry. “I think it's good that I make music video away from home because the song also means 'Djutjtjutjnha' known as Goodbye, it's like goodbye to everyone you love and goodbye to Dry season.”
 
Directed by Matt Sav, who was last year nominated for a J Award for Drifting Clouds’s debut clip 'Bawuypawuy', ‘Rarrandharr’ possesses the same Drifting Clouds textures known and loved by fans - only this time with some big city energy and a bunch of firsts. Terry says “I had a lot of fun working with Matt and in a big city it's something that I always wanted to do. Filming and seeing all the city lights everywhere it's beautiful and with crew who were involved in working with me and for the first time making a music video on green screen and driving around in city with Porsche.”
 
“It was really hard for me to perform in the city in the middle of people walking around me when I was performing for the Music Video because people don't know me but after that I feel better when I keep performing.”

Today lesson in Yolŋu Matha: Rarrandharr, meaning dry season. Unlike western seasons, Yolŋu have six seasons all comprising of different weather patterns which guide what food to be hunted, which flowers are in bloom and what fruit is ready to eat.

• DRIFTING CLOUDS [NT]

@wyola.freo [SOLD OUT]
w/ @badwhippp + @agapantha___

Arnhem Land’s Drifting Clouds make their Western Australian debut at ARRIVAL, led by Yolŋu singer, songwriter and keyboardist Terry Guyula.

Dubbed “the most chill band in Arnhem Land,” Drifting Clouds fuse 80s-inspired synth-pop, dreamlike funk, big saxophones and coastal grooves with ancient Songlines sung in Guyula’s first language, Liyawulma’mirr-Djambarrpuyngu. Rooted in the homelands of Bunhungura/Gapuwiyak, their sound draws on millennia-old Dreamtime stories refracted through contemporary textures and infectious, ethereal melodies.

Their gorgeous 2025 debut single Bawuypawuy wraps Arnhem Bay ocean Songlines in shimmering grooves and hypnotic vocals, establishing Drifting Clouds as one of Australia’s most unique and exciting new acts. They have performed at Meredith Music Festival, Yabun Festival, Party in the Paddock and St Kilda Festival, have supported Cut Copy and will perform their Sydney Opera House headline debut for Vivid Sydney.
