When photography can’t express the things you need it to, I turn to music.

Afterlife by Agneu is a project I started in August 2025 - drawing on years of observational and lived experiences. Agneu is a type of homophone of my mother’s family name, Agnew. The songs were composed and preformed in my garden studio in Ponsonby. Backing vocals were provided by Lucy McIntosh and Willa Cameron. Percussion and drums were preformed by Steve Melville and the collection was mixed and engineered by Steve Melville at Friend Machine.

The vintage butterfly image is from my partner, Tam West’s personal collection and a different butterfly will accompany each song out into the world. They were photographed in the garden studio during the recording precess.

A vinyl pre order will be available in August

Afterlife songbook available in September.

Large scale prints from the album available in September.

First single and video out 20th June 2026
