Native Tongue has inked a deal with Melbourne act Congrats, the solo project from Slowly Slowly frontman Ben Stewart.
The news arrives as Slowly Slowly unveil new single Creature Of Habit Pt.2, and while Stewart has mastered punk rock with his band, Congrats will focus more on “the world of delectable pop sensibilities”, as evident via last month’s Cut Down The Middle single.
"I love the people at Native Tongue and their ethos to songwriting,” Stewart said.
“It's a community I am proud to be a part of and I feel they care about my development as an artist - not just my output."
Native Tongue managing director Jaime Gough added: "We've been fans of Slowly Slowly for a while now, and when we met Ben it was clear he had the drive and passion to be a career songwriter across many genres of music, including his solo project Congrats which is going to be a lot of fun to work with."
Congrats doesn’t currently have any tour dates locked down, but you can catch Slowly Slowly next month when they embark on a regional tour.
