This is the music I was listening to last summer as I wrote the novel, a musical mood board I used as inspiration, in some cases writing scenes to specific tracks (if you’ve read it, I’ll let you guess which).

I was going for a gay teenager’s soundtrack to a sweltering Sydney Summer; tunes dropped in a club or heard at the gym, on the bluetooth speaker by the pool or in headphones staring out the car window.

It leans heavily towards electro-pop and that optimistic Aussie dance sound that conjures youthful escapades and a summer of possibilities. Enjoy!



PS: Paperback edition of The Lodger, That Summer is out next week!
