Tam Matlakowski has been making music independently for over 18 years.
His first musical highpoint was the band Pop Singles, active between 2009-2013, where influences from 60’s psychedelia to DIY punk converged into something that would later be termed as Dolewave.
Following a period of challenges and creative evolution, Tam Vantage emerged as a solo act in 2014. Introspective narratives, imagined characters, traditional storytelling, and abstract poeticism are a few of his lyrical approaches, explored across ever-changing styles, and presented through both hi-fi and lo-fi production values. Albums like 2015's 'Life In High Definition' and 2017's 'Show Me To The Sun' explored themes of isolation and longing, each marked by a distinct sonic palette ranging from jangle-based post-punk to atmospheric shoegaze.
Beyond solo endeavors, Tam has been a prolific collaborator, lending talents to groups like Leah Seniors band, The Stevens, Girlatones, Permits, and Chook...
