Geoffrey O'Connor

Geoffrey David O'Connor is an Australian indie pop musician and producer based in Melbourne. He released his debut studio album Liquorice Night in 2007, under the alias of Sly Hats. O'Connor has since released the solo albums Vanity Is Forever Fan Fiction (2014) and For as Long as I Can Remember (2021) all through Chapter Music.

O'Connor is also a member of indie pop group The Crayon Fields, on lead guitar and lead vocals.

As a performer O'Connor’s first album under his own name was Vanity Is Forever, which Triple J's Zan Rowe described as "a distinct step away from the indie-pop of his band. The record is full of synthesisers, and modern soft rock sounds and is written from the perspective of a guy who has both a heavy heart and a high libido".

In August 2021, O'Connor released his first solo album in seven years. For as Long as I Can Remember is a suite of duets with fellow Australian singers.

As a producer

O'Connor has produced releases by Sarah Mary Chadwick (Sugar Still Melts in the Rain and Me and Ennui are Friends, Baby); Catcall (The Warmest Place); some tracks on the Jessica Says album Do With Me What U Will; as well as his own solo albums and records by the Crayon Fields. He is also credited with recording bass and vocals on June Jones' 2021 album Leafcutter.
