NEW MUSIC: Hercules & The Bricks – Gena Rowlands

This track (named after the American actress Gena Rowlands) by Melbourne group Hercules & The Bricks, snuck up on us and burrowed into our synapses over the last week or two. There’s a post-punk cabaret vibe, a dramatic noir aesthetic that gives the song a timeless feel. It could have come out of the 80s art-pop underground yet it draws a line right through Melbourne bedsits … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Hercules & The Bricks – Gena Rowlands

NEW MUSIC: Pardans – Hookers (with Hidden Depths) & Over The Moon And Beyond

Here are two live studio session tracks from the Danish jazz-punk quintet Pardans. They’ve been together since 2015 and draw equally from the jazz world of Ornette Coleman and the darker, knottier sounds of post-punk and Captain Beefheart. There’s a great intensity and drive in these songs – woozy, rambunctious and lurching, like Birthday Party falling down the stairs at a jazz joint. ‘Hookers (With … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Pardans – Hookers (with Hidden Depths) & Over The Moon And Beyond

NEW MUSIC: Marble Arch – I’m On My Way

More new shoegaze sounds today! This time it’s courtesy of Frenchman Yann Le Razavet who, as Marble Arch, records music that draws heavily on the likes of New Order and Ride. He makes it sound effortless with cascading melodies, obscured vocals and synths and guitars that blur into one billowing vapour of 80s indie pop. Marble Arch have a full album on the way in … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Marble Arch – I’m On My Way

NEW MUSIC: Mount Sinai – Weightless

Mount Sinai from the United Kingdom is the work of songwriter Mark S. Aaron, formally known as Rooster Cole and frontman and songwriter of Black Black Hills. Weightless is a really nice noir-textured song that lurches along on piano and brass while Aaron intones dramatic soliloquies over the top of the dark mood below. It really hits its straps in the final minute where guitars rise … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Mount Sinai – Weightless

NEW MUSIC: Casual Male – Takin’ It Easy

Casual Male are a band out of Brooklyn, NY led by Tim Lappin. They’ve got a new EP out called EP and it finds them dialling into the kind of indie sound that embraces rhythm, clever lyrics and plenty of sharp turns and infectious melodies, not dissimilar to the route well trodden by Spoon and The Walkmen. ‘Takin’ It Easy’ is a moody slow stagger … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Casual Male – Takin’ It Easy
