Taking their name from a 2002 Melbourne Cup-winning Irish racehorse, media puzzle is the solo recording project of Northern Rivers-based artist and musician Tom Peter with support from Kellie Eden (synth/trumpet), Eden Yeigh (guitar), Oliver Clarke (drums) and Solomon Jones (bass). Since first emerging in 2023 with their EP 14, they quickly made a name for themselves for their drum machine-riddled, scuzzy post-punk sound immortalised through three albums and another EP, with Pitchfork firmly praising their last project Intermission as “uncanny creativity that egg-punk weirdos love to tout, residing somewhere between Suicide’s dark melodies and Uranium Club’s remote eccentricities".
