Elke Louie - 'Killing Time' Single Launch

Hailing from Gympie in Queensland, emerging indie folk singer-songwriter Elke Louie releases her debut single ‘Killing Time’ on November 7, the first glimpse from her forthcoming debut EP which drops early 2026. With a voice that carries both raw emotion and delicate storytelling, Elke blends acoustic warmth with heartfelt lyricism, crafting songs that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable. The track delves into themes of stillness, self-reflection, and the passage of time, wrapped in haunting vocals and an intimate lyrical delivery.

Elke Louie will be celebrating with a hometown launch show on Sunday 9th November at qube226 in Gympie. With special guests Mestise (meh-steece) – brother/sister duo Savannah & Lennox Jones, brought together by their shared love of music and defying the odds of sibling rivalry (mostly). Riffing off the tagalog phrase "Mestisa", meaning of mixed native filipino and foreign ancestry, Savannah & Lennox carry their diverse cultural pride into soulful melodies, pertinent messages and encapsulating presence.

“Killing Time” was recorded at Mantle Records with Clare and Lawrence of Those Folk. Elke Louie is already turning heads with her evocative songwriting and captivating vocals, collaborating with established artists like Jen Mize from The Rough And Tumble and Clare Quinn from Those Folk — both international touring musicians in their own right. Elke’s upcoming work promises to be rich with authenticity and musical depth.

Doors open 6pm, grazing platters and bar.
