Back in 2012, New Weird Australia released an eclectic compilation featuring the lesser known talent from Western Australaia, Western Schism. Eleventeen Eston featured on the collection, with his track ‘It’s All Again’, which instilled visual images of a 1980′s Law and Order cast getting down to the closing credits. It’s been a few years...
I’ve forever been captivated by Ned Beckley‘s unique sound. The more unusual thing is, I feel like I’ve followed him around a lot. Although a bit older than me, we both grew up in the same small country town. I remember listening to some of his earliest work, at the time, he was focusing on...
It’s been quite some time since we’ve heard new work from LUCIANBLOMKAMP. Last year he released his self-titled EP, gaining him a swathe of well-deserved attention (maybe not enough). The 20 year-old from Melbourne producer has been tucked away for good reason, his full length record Post-Nature, will be out August 15 via Yes...

Not only are they maintaining their individual endeavors (Gill’s solo project Tooms), they’ve opened the door on a whole new project, together.

Recorded over two nights at The Catfish in Fitzroy, Tunguska will be the first release from new label Whalesmouth, which is run by JJ Baker of Bandcamp Hunter & Formless Fields. “Tunguska captures the live dynamic of the Orbits sound – opening wormholes of psychedelic...
In the business, Sam Gill is best know for making up half of audiovisual legends Naysayer & Gilsun, well embedded in folklore for their mind bending performances. But when it comes to Gill’s new solo project Tooms, it’s clear that he may just be shirking the automatic association to the cult like duo that is...
