Bottom of the Lake

**Bottom of the Lake** is an indie folk duo hailing from Australia, known for their haunting harmonies and introspective storytelling. Formed in the early 2010s by Sophie Kurylowicz and Tom Lyall, the pair crafts moody, atmospheric tunes that blend folk traditions with hints of Americana and alt-country. Their music often explores themes of vulnerability, quiet resilience, and the complexities of human connection, delivered through sparse arrangements that let their intertwined vocals shine.

With a DIY ethos, they’ve built a loyal following through raw, intimate live performances and a steady stream of self-released EPs and singles, including recent tracks like *Everybody Knows Everything About Everyone*—a wry commentary on digital-age oversharing—and the tender *I’ll Keep This Safe Here*. While maintaining a low-profile mystique, Bottom of the Lake remains a hidden gem in the Australiana folk scene, celebrated for their poetic lyricism and understated emotional punch.
