Watch: Screensaver Studio 5 Live

Thu 4 Dec 2025
Studio 5 Live

Three Lens Approach is the third album from Naarm/Melbourne five-piece screensaver. Tension carries across screensaver's new record, pushing and pulling between moments of upbeat, heart-on-sleeve tenderness and explosions of frustration and all-out fury. screensaver’s prismatic approach to anxiety-ridden post punk is on full show, danceable and galvanising as ever. A shared love of seventies dance music drives the band’s heartbeat, charged by elements of motorik Krautrock, new wave, moody dub and death disco, and emboldened with their asymmetrical pop sensibility.

Where the orchestra is anchored in fully composed material, GODTET remains free – navigating the work's harmonic architecture with instinct and spontaneity. Structures are fixed, but expression is fluid.
