Listen: LUCIANBLOMKAMP EP
Receiving this EP earlier in the week has been all that has gotten me through to the weekend so I thought it was about time to share it with you all, especially at this critical point in your Friday morning. LUCIANBLOMKAMP is a Melbourne based producer who we’ve been hanging out to hear from ever...
Gunns – “Leaving Home” 7″
I first wrote about Perth’s Gunns in December, 2011. I still can’t quite figure out why they haven’t been shot into stardom just quite yet, but hell, I they deserve it. Things have evolved a little at the Gunns camp, now a quartet, sporting Jennifer Aslett (Hootenanny), Michael Jelinek, Cameron Avery and Clinton Oliver (all three...
Rat & Co – ‘One (壱) Uno (壹) Ein’
Rat & Co – One (壱) Uno (壹) Ein (2013; Independent) ‘The Letter’ is all loose percussion and echoed guitar, the tapping of high hats and vocal overtones, it’s suffice to say that the track is aptly placed as a welcoming entree. After this, One (壱) Uno (壹) Ein, namely the debut record from Melbourne...
PVT – ‘Homosapien’
PVT - Homosapien (2013; Create/Control) As the curtains are pulled back on Homosapien, the much anticipated fourth album from Sydney’s PVT, Richard Pike‘s ethereal voice works in ways both complementing and aggravating the light electronic pulse behind him. ‘Shiver’ paints a clear picture of the impending distorted concoction between Pike’s brilliant vocals and PVT’s instantly recognisable...
Forces – ‘Forces’ EP
Forces - Forces EP (Siberia Records; 2013) It’s understatement to say that Forces is anything less than a full assault on the senses. The EP, from the Melbourne duo bearing the same name, is packed with audible prods and punches. I was introduced to this dynamic group after watching Forces’ label-mate Kirin J Callinan play in...
Why Don’t You Believe Me? – 2012 Sampler
Why Don’t You Believe Me? have produced some of the finest releases of the year, Hot Palms, Yuko Kono, Velcro, Emma Russack and Lehmann B. Smith are just a few of the names that call the label home. Alec Marshall, the brains behind the growing beast that is WDYBM? did a stellar mix tape for us...
True North – ‘Bespoke Variations’ EP
Remember our post we did on Sydney beat-master True North? Recently his Bespoke EP has been reworked by a bunch of other super talented young folk. Guerre, Nakagin, Lower Spectrum and Network have all had their way with True North‘s tracks. Culminating in an assault to the senses, this remixed EP exemplifies and compliments the...
Best Australian Albums of 2012
2012 has been one hell of a year when we look back at all the great releases, instead of ranting on about how Australia punches above it’s weight year after year, I’m just going to cut to the chase. There are many of these ‘Best Albums’ lists cruising around the inter-webs at the moment, I...
Grand Prismatic – ‘Birds And Beasts’
Grand Prismatics – Birds And Beasts (2012; Birds Love Fighting) When I received Grand Prismatic’s debut Birds And Beasts as a submission, I had already listened to it more than half a dozen times. Yet what I found most interesting was the tiny note that came with the email, “Peace in, Peace Out” wrote one of...
Electric Sea Spider – ‘Supercash’
In the wake of their appearance at Inca Roads this weekend, Jim Sellars aka Electric Sea Spider, has released his brand new album Supercash. An eclectic mix of samples, beats and electronic tweaks, Supercash is a 13 track journey not to be entered into lightly. All ready receiving critical acclaim as RRR’s Album of the Week this week,...
Brothers Hand Mirror – ‘Muddy Now’
Brothers Hand Mirror have been pretty busy of late, having all ready released a very well received EP earlier this year. And their latest offering, Muddy Now, looks to be destined for the same fate. Creating a truly unique sound, Oscar Key Sung (O&M) and HTML Flowers make up the Brothers Hand Mirror outfit. Oscar...
Lower Spectrum – ‘From Here On’ EP
I’ve been keeping my eye, or more specifically, ear on Lower Spectrum for quite some time now. I remember the first time I was introduced to this electronic duo was with their first release. If you are acquainted with the noise that comes from Lower Spectrum, you won’t be surprised that their latest release, titled...
