Sydney’s Sister Jane are releasing Whole Wide World, the first single from their new album, on October 15th and have kindly sent a pre-release stream out into the digital aether. It finds them sounding impressively widescreen with tumbling drums, reverb-laden guitars peeling off all corners of the canvas and vocals that resonate with lush melodicism and barely contained urgency. There’s a decidedly UK post punk/indie sound going on with flashes of Cope and McCulloch refracted through a kraut/psych prism that deepens as the song progresses. It’s wonderfully immersive stuff; rich, layered and bursting with a sonic confidence that sets up high expectation for the album Frontier (due out early 2014) as all lead singles should.
how can’t you love the psychedelic blues of Sister Jane!
