The E.L.F/Jep & Dep – ‘New Angel/The Fall of the Leaves Never Cease’
I hadn’t heard of Darren Cross aka The E.L.F since Mess+Noise featured him in their round up of new music. A really interesting listen, dark, folk kind of sound. Quite beautiful actually. Sound as if it’s perfect for some great moving scene in a film. He has also apparently teamed up with a Sydney based...
Hi-fivin’ w/ Wooshie
Photo by David Payne. I am really proud to kick off this new segment, Hi-fivin’, with one of Australia’s most talented beat makers. Wooshie, aka Dylan Michel is co-founder of Melbourne based collective //THIS THING//. If you were lucky enough to make it to their showcase/quadruple launch last Saturday night, you will know quite well...
Peak Twins – Split LP with Scott & Charlene’s Wedding
Photo by Luke Byrne From the first listen, the split record that Peak Twins released with label mates Scott & Charlene’s Wedding falls somewhere in between an LP and a EP. Spinning for just under eighteen minutes, it’s just enough to reel you in, only to slap you in the face when the needle is...
Max Crumbs/Wooshie/Andras Fox/Galapagoose at Phoneix Public House 5.05.12
Melbourne-based label and sound collective //THIS THING// has developed a quick word-of-mouth cult following since its recent inception. Comprising of several local DJs/electronic acts, the group have put on stellar live sets across Melbourne (including a seminal collaborative show at Golden Plains) in the past year. The Phoenix Public House opened its doors to celebrate...
Video-Philes: Lowlakes + Wizard Oz + Art of Sleeping + Ross de Chene Hurricanes
Video-Philes has had a bit of a nap. So many great clips coming in at the moment. Where to start? Lowlakes have given us an ultra-cool clip to ‘Buffalo’ that features beautiful animation by a talented lass by the name of Lacey Whelan. One duo I can’t possibly stop putting on repeat of late is...
Castratii – ‘Kingdom’
Devoid of any detailed information apart from where they come from, The Blue Mountain natives Castratii are known more of a musical collective rather than a group or band. Names of founding members are only hearsay and much of the mystery that comes with their hidden identities is well and truly consolidated into their dark,...
Dune Rats – ‘Fuck It’
It’s sure going to be interesting to see how the major radio stations battle when announcing the name of Dune Rats latest treat. ‘Fuck It’ ‘Fuck It’ will be officially released tomorrow and is the lead song from the bands upcoming EP due for release in June. The duo are fresh off the road after...
San Gras – ‘Sun Come Up’ Download
When I first heard ‘Sun Come Up’ by Melbourne’s Sans Gras I must admit I wasn’t initially taken, yet like seeing them live, it took me a few songs in to realised these guys were seriously bringing some full blown rock n’ roll to the table. Good news is, their upcoming EP Shed Your Woes...
POND at NSC 23.04.12
Yet another late review by me, unfortunately hindered this time by a pesky essay on the European Union… not something I want to discuss, ever again. POND at Northcote Social Club however is definitely something worth writing about. After enjoying a delicious parma we rolled around to the super crowded band room that was buzzing with excitement...
