ALBUM REVIEW: David Kilgour & the Heavy Eights – End Times Undone

Now nine albums deep into his solo career, David Kilgour still keeps one foot in The Clean yet that trio is sporadic and seemingly unpredictable in terms of output and activity to the extent that his body of work with band The Heavy Eights is his primary focus and creative outlet. End Times Undone beautifully captures the same mystical lazy strum and innate homespun catchiness … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: David Kilgour & the Heavy Eights – End Times Undone

NEW MUSIC: Peter Bibby – Hates My Boozin’

I’m loving this new track from Melbournian Peter Bibby. With its woozy, drunk guitars, Spectorish drums and lyrical bent in the vein of Courtney Barnett. It pulls you in and seduces you with a ramshackle and desperate charm. Bibby’s voice is a grizzled, burnt out yelp of a thing which suits the song perfectly. Bibby, a recent signing to Spinning Top Music, has just been … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Peter Bibby – Hates My Boozin’

ALBUM REVIEW: Robert Scott – The Green House

It took Robert Scott a decade to get from his debut solo album (The Creeping Unknown, 2001) to 2011’s Ends Run Together and now he’s turned around his third effort in a mere three years. Of course Scott isn’t just sitting around twiddling his thumbs and working on his paintings between records; he’s still actively involved in both The Bats and The Clean and from … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Robert Scott – The Green House

ALBUM REVIEW: Morrissey | World Peace is None of Your Business

There’s always mild controversy surrounding Morrissey so when a new album rolls around it serves as a timely reminder of the man’s ability as a singer and lyricist. Here he sticks firmly to the grand indie-pop/glam rock n roll template he mastered decades ago but it now sounds more stately and controlled with flashes of Spanish guitar, horns and subtle electronica. His lyrics are as … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Morrissey | World Peace is None of Your Business

NEW MUSIC: Redspencer | Tell

Redspencer are two brothers (David and Aiden McMillan) from rural NSW, now based in Melbourne, who have formed a band around themselves and released this new single ‘Tell’ that is fairly bursting with jangly guitars, breezily melodic vocals and has an affinity with bands from the golden age of shoegaze. The band will have a debut EP out later this year.   Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Redspencer | Tell

NEW MUSIC: Step-Panther | Nowhere

They’ve been quiet on the live front for the last while but Step-Panther have been busy recording their new album with Big Scary’s Tom Iansek. The album Strange But Nice is due out in August via HUB/Inertia and here’s the video for its first single, ‘Nowhere’. Shades of Sonic Youth and 3Ds permeate the song before a hypnotic wave of tumbling guitar notes wash over the song and chugging distorted chords … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Step-Panther | Nowhere

LIVE REVIEW: Bad//Dreems @ Black Wire Records, Sydney (23/05/14)

Jimmy Junk Heart made the trip up from Melbourne and they were tasked with loosening up the atmosphere of the slowly filling record shop that would be full to capacity within the hour. They played an admirable set and there was potential behind their tentative performance. From ‘fresh outta the practice room’ garage rock to a strong Tame Impala influence they still seem to be … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Bad//Dreems @ Black Wire Records, Sydney (23/05/14)

NEW MUSIC: Dark Fair | Poison

Melbourne duo Dark Fair (guitarist Ramona Moore + drummer Ellie Dunn) have been getting better and better with each new song we hear and ‘Poison’ is their best to date. It’s a slow building slice of shadowy pop music that relies on guitar, drums and a great vocal melody and delivery. Adalita (Magic Dirt) also makes an appearance on bass guitar. ‘Poison’ comes from their … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Dark Fair | Poison
