aBillion
You may remember a certain degree of splooging over a band called So I’m Jo last year on this very blog. aBillion is the rising electronic phoenix to emerge from the dissolution of So I’m Jo, and I’ve been informed by a good chum that there’s brand new material coming very shortly that will shake [...]
UNDERCOLOURS
From the management stable that brought you The Presets and Strangetalk come epic pop from Melbourne group Undercolours. Old mate Derek at Neon Gold has given it his seal of approval, and so do we. Undercolours – Spirit The Ghost Perhaps one of the larger choruses to come out of Australia in recent months, like [...]
Rara Avis – Autumn
I don’t know much about these guys – Rara Avis are self described “Fuzzbox keepers and creamy dreamers”. I think you’ll see the aptness writ large in this track: Autumn by Rara Avis Shoegaze is a term all to often attached to bands who simply are too lazy and poor to get something mixed correctly, [...]
Gui Boratto III
On a particularly sunny summer afternoon I spent a glorious three hours grinding amongst a mass of sweaty humans on a balcony in Sydney with Gui Boratto. There was a particular moment when No Turning Back flipped into piano-breakdown overdrive that really stuck with me from that day – having seen Gui, a brazilian architect-cum-Kompakt [...]
Winter People
!Total Bang0r free zone! A phenomenal group has been bubbling away beneath the surface of Sydney’s folk scene for the past two years. After gigs here, there and everywhere the band have settled down to record a full length release. The first cut is called ‘Wishingbone’, it’s a dense, cinematic slice of gorgeous folk. And [...]
Purity Ring
Gleeful, staccato synth bells and warm, rumbly dub wobbles ride underneath waltzing, sing-song vocals. Sounds more delightful than described. Oh and there’s bewbs in the video too. Download this track from Purity Ring. xMandu
Tom Ugly feat Pez
Winner of Triple J’s Unearthed High competition several years ago, Tom Ugly has been chipping away at a debut record. Promising to a broader pallet of sounds and textures to his previous work, Mr Ugly has slipped a new track online featuring Melbourne MC Pez – one half of the duo behind the (unfortunate) hit [...]
HARTS
A funny little hip-bro from Melbourne called HARTS is warming our tired limbs this winter with iridescent dance-rock. We’ve picked up this track “Back To Shore” from his triple j Unearthed page. Take a listen and visit his profile to hear more. Harts – Back to the Shore (low res) Harts on triple j Unearthed [...]
Lancelot x New Navy
Latest signing to Sydney based label Future Classic is New Navy. It’s Gold Fields via Last Dinosaurs via Strange Talk – pretty much everything any an impressionable triple j listener would juice themselves over. Zimbabwe is the name of the first single of New Navy’s ‘Uluwatu’ EP, and Lancelot has first dibs on a re-rub. [...]
Clancy
So a bloke called Clancy with a new EP that has a big meow meow cat on the cover dropped us a note saying ‘oi, lads, check this music’. To this we said ‘aight, and were very pleasantly surprised to find nestled within the package a phenomenal retro electro mix from local man Beaumont. Ten [...]
New Gotye
There’s that awkward moment in a new album cycle between the ‘seed single’ and second single – it’s kinda like that conversation between partners several weeks after their first baby has arrived; “don’t you just want more of them honey!”, and with shopping bill in hand and stewed apple upon shoulder, a man might rightfully [...]
Brous
A new musical endeavour from Melbourne artist Sophie Brous (pronounced Bruce… like, the man Bruce) Electrorashies/ers(?) may note Sophie Brous’ unique tones accompanying the GLOVES remix of Miami Horror’s ‘Sometimes’, a track that made a dent in Google results for handwarmers early last year. Brous is touring (sorta) soon: THURS JULY 7TH – SYDNEY – [...]
The Whip
They’re back with an album soon to emerge on Southern Fried. A bit less thrashy than prior engagements, a little bit more Junior Boys than Justice. I suppose, what with all the 110bpm low-pass filtered psychgrooves in vogue, as bloghouse born band in a post-bloghouse era you’ve got to settle down at some point. But [...]
Guerre Remix EP
It’s a bit in reverse, given the EP itself isn’t out yet, but to get the hype-monster working for them Yes Please Records have set loose a remix package, complete with no-less than EIGHT re-edits, bro-dubs and bedroom-loop-oddities of tracks lifted from Guerre’s upcoming Darker My Love EP. Sydney’s current obsession with glitch and dub [...]
