Track: Henry Wagons’s advice is simple – ‘(Don’t Be) Down And Out’ – a jaunty high stepping ode to resilience.
A welcome return after six long years, Australian troubadour Henry Wagons brings his dulcet tones and eloquent style to his new single ‘(Don’t Be) Down and Out’. While Wagon’s deep sonorous vocals bring to mind those lords of darkness Nick Cave and Johnny Cash, his writing style recalls for me the late and great Kinky …
Premiere: The Baudelaires exclusively reveal their new video for the track ‘Roller Vaseline’ on the eve of the release of their album ‘Tilt’
Melbourne psych exponents extraordinaire The Baudelaires are about to release their new album ‘Tilt’ on Friday through the magnificent Cheersquad Records and Tapes/Little Cloud Records, and we are honoured to exclusively reveal the video for their single ‘Roller Vaseline’. ‘Roller Vaseline’ does just what it says on the label: a thundering, restless wall of guitars …
Track: The Golden Rail see ‘Silver Linings’ in their new reflective and ethereal track ahead of album release.
The Golden Rail have deep within their genetic code a golden thread stretching back to bands in the eighties that have a particular Western Australian glint about them – think of the recent jangle pop of The Rinehearts and the glorious regimes of The Triffids, Scientists, The Hoodoo Gurus and The Stems. Now based in …
Track: Little Guilt are going ‘Nowhere’ – a dreamy destination drenched in sunshine and regret. EP and launch dates also announced.
Western Australia continues to punch above its weight with Little Guilt‘s new track ‘Nowhere’. This is the aural equivalent of a sunny canoe ride floating gently down a dappling river. It bobs and floats and gently rocks with a dream pop fugue, a hypnotic journey that moves effortlessly with a melancholic sheen. The subject matter …
Track: The legendary The Church return with new single, title track to forthcoming album ’The Hypnogogue’, ahead of Australian tour.
It’s been a while since The Church graced us with their ethereal presence, although main man Steve Kilbey has not been resting on his laurels by any means, having released a swathe of stunning material on his own and through collaborations with Martin Kennedy (All India Radio) and Glenn Bennie (Underground Lovers) over the last …
Album Review: Prudence’s ‘Negatives’ takes us into the heart of darkness – an ominous, brooding collection of treasures that glitters in the void.
With psychedelic-inflected vocals, nuanced and louche, the ghostly apparition that is Tom Crandles’s musical project Prudence has just released ‘Negatives’. It is a gothic-flavoured collection that reflects the period of turmoil over the last few years, bleeding through every pore, and yet seems to offer a glimpse of hope in the end. Opening track ‘Introduction’ …
Track: Mess Esque unveil new track ‘Armour Your Armor’ as they bring their frail and beautiful sound to the world on tour.
Last year’s magnificent self-titled album from Mess Esque was for me one of the stand out releases of the year, and recognition of the duo’s stature and the album’s imperial majesty resulted in them embarking on a world-wide adventure in the US and, currently in Europe, supporting Kurt Vile. In the midst of this, the …
Track: Jangle pop king Charlie Clark returns with his fulsome sparkling magic in new track ‘I Don’t Mind If You’re Right’.
It has been almost a years since Charlie Clark graced us with his melodic magic, during which time he resumed services with his band Astrid and further developed his label No Big Deal Music amongst a plethora of other activities. He is back, and just as effervescent as ever, with another shimmering track of sonic …
