Australian producer 44 Ardent has been quietly building momentum over the past few months, rolling out a run of standout singles—“Curtain Call,” “Wake Up,” “Hold On (Forever),” and “Who Do You Think That You Are?”—and now he completes the picture with the release of his full six-track EP, Me, Again. The project arrives with two new additions, “Chemicals” and the title track “Me, Again,” rounding out a body of work that feels both emotionally charged and distinctly true to the sound he’s been shaping.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Caribou, Bonobo, Tourist, and Odesza, the EP blends dance, house, and atmospheric electronica into a warm, expressive journey. Each track taps into the nostalgia of the music that first sparked his passion for production, while still leaning into the modern textures that define the 44 Ardent project.
According to 44 Ardent, the title Me, Again represents more than just a sonic return—it reflects a creative shift tied to his dual identity as producer cln.
He describes the project this way:
“‘Me, Again’ is a reference to 44 Ardent being my second musical project. I’ve always loved making music as cln and plan to keep creating in that world, but 44 Ardent has given me a different kind of freedom that I am really enjoying. I am trying to think less about social media and more about music, which is probably not very smart in the current landscape, but feels much more authentic on a personal level. This EP is about reconnection with my electronic musical roots — the sort of music that made me fall in love with production in the first place. I am basically revisiting where it all began, but older and hopefully a bit wiser. The artwork is made from a photograph that I took from a cave on one of my favourite mountains, about an hour drive away from my home.”
Released via Mammal Sounds Records, Me, Again captures an artist rediscovering the freedom that originally drew him to music—and leaning fully into the sound that feels most like home.
