Head over to the event page to collect the finer details, or read on below....
Hoodlem are a Melbourne duo, not only do they produce genre-crossing slow-burning jams, but they’re also pretty handy with keeping their identities under wraps. Their latest offering is ‘Old Friend’, a late-night track that speaks volumes of class. Premiering on Los Angeles and San Francisco based Blahblahblahscience, late last night, very little doubt was expressed in which...
Motion is the debut three-track EP from Sydney’s Lovely Head, the solo project of Vivian Huynh (Pants and the recently disbanded No Art). With lingering guitar hooks, scant percussion and absorbing vocals, ‘Grip’ is the best introduction to the more minimal shoegaze sounds of Huynh’s new project. Under the cloak of Lovely Head, Huynh has been...
Last week, we put up a piece on Roku Music’s ‘Reflector‘. This week, we’re pretty damn happy that the good people over at Sonic Masala (and Roku Music Of course) have put up the entire stream of Roku Music’s debut record, Collider. Eight tracks of blistering sound is what you’ll get. The Brisbane quartet officially...
Melbourne’s Planète, aka Dion Tartaglione, dropped two brand new tracks today. ‘Reflex’ and ‘Embers’ are the latest offerings from the electronic artists who is well know for his mood-shifting, ambient style. Clocking up almost 7:00, ‘Embers’ could be referred to as minimalistic, but the energy created by the repeating melody is truly palpable. ‘Reflex’ is shorter,...
I OH YOU’s announced their newest signing today and as the news unfolded, many rushed to liken Sydney’s DMA’s to a string of big name artists. I’m pointing out the obvious that it’s becoming more and more prevalent for groups to release their first official track, preceding any appearance in front of a crowd. But...
I’ve been keeping an eye on Zzaapp Records for a little while now, eager to see what comes from the Northern Territory based record label. Promoting future electronics, ZZaapp is run by Kris Keogh. The labels first release is Beats Vol. 1 – ZZAAPP001 which features the track, ‘Commercial Sellout Rubbish’ by Laptop Destroyer which seems...
Mikael Caterer (Love Connection/Scott & Charlene’s Wedding) moved to New York a few years back, whilst we’ve heard nothing from Love Connection, Caterer hasn’t exactly been sitting on his hands and eating pizza (obviously not simultaneously anyway). NYC based Shorts is the new manifestation of Caterer’s musical prowess. With a backing band that sports names...
I first caught Melbourne’s Full Ugly at the now defunct Gasometer in Collingwood, at the time, on guitar was Mikael Caterer of Love Connection who shot off to the U.S shortly after that show. On April 7, Full Ugly will release their debut record, Spent the Afternoon through Fire Records/Bedroom Suck. One thing I do love about ‘Hanging Around’...
‘Talk Is Cheap’, is the first official single from Chet Faker‘s debut album Built On Glass, out April 11 on Future Classic / Downtown Records. Practically exploded on the internet, get down to that saxophone. You can pre-order a copy of Built On Glass and receive a copy of ‘Talk Is Cheap’ for download.
Originally a duo of Donnie Miller and Innez Tulloch, Roku Music released a debut self-titled EP in 2012. When the band expanded into a quartet ( adding Tom Roche and Jody Gleeson) the Primitive EP was released, being the initial reference point for a more distinguished and rounded sound. Now, comes the groups debut full length, Collider,...
Modus Op – Modus Op (Etch_music; 2014) Like throwing on an old pair of boots, Modus Op, by the artist of the same name, feels right. It’s a matter of balance, intrigue and sharp production. From the artist’s bandcamp, it states Modus Op‘s debut LP is a “Collection of tracks from 2010-2013, These seemingly disparate...
