ALBUM REVIEW: Tropical Fuck Storm – A Laughing Death In Meat Space

Gareth Liddiard has been the most important Australian songwriter of the last 15 years, certainly within the world of chart-swerving guitar music. His strengths lie in literary lyrical astuteness, willingness to explore the sprawl and corners of his songs and the raw, unhinged and visceral quality of his performances. The Drones always seemed like the cross between Neil Young, Dirty Three and Nick Cave & … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Tropical Fuck Storm – A Laughing Death In Meat Space

The trio, renowned for their epic psych rock and metal instrumentals that can reach the 20 minute mark, are back with a new album that turns that reputation on its head by way of shorter songs and most noticeably, the addition of vocals. Guitarist Isaiah Mitchell steps up the mic on Black Heaven and it’s a move that shifts the dynamic of the band. His … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Earthless – Black Heaven

LIVE REVIEW: John Garcia @ Factory Theatre, Sydney

John Garcia, Peter Black @ Factory Theatre, Sydney Australia, April 21st, 2018 I doubt whether many alternative rock fans in the early 90s would have envisaged that the singers of Kyuss and The Hard-Ons would be doing a small-sized solo acoustic show in the year 2018. Noise and electricity have always been crucial elements of John Garcia and Blackie’s calling card sounds so it was both a … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: John Garcia @ Factory Theatre, Sydney

NEW MUSIC: Roadhouses – Black Lights

    Sydney slowcore dream rock trio Roadhouses have released their second single from their forthcoming self-titled debut LP.   Pre-order Roadhouses  ‘Black Lights’ is an atmospheric piece of late-night, wistful psychedelia with Cec Condon’s drumming recalling Portishead and Yvonne Moxham delivering a beautifully melancholic vocal. Sweet sadness never sounded so good.   Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Roadhouses – Black Lights

ALBUM REVIEW: Django Django – Marble Skies

In the past Django Django have managed to wrangle the seemingly disparate styles of electronic pop and rockabilly rhythms into songs that roll and pulse, both on the dance floor and as highly attractive synth pop. They continue that template here but it all sounds more refined and cohesive. Their trademark vocal delivery and the way the melodies and harmonies are layered and blended is … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Django Django – Marble Skies

ALBUM REVIEW: Kyle Craft – Full Circle Nightmare

This is Kyle Craft’s second album; his first set a high bar with its songs of underground heroes and misfits and now he’s taken that momentum and set one dizzying and rambunctious musical snowball in motion. Craft is still mining the same stories he relishes and excels at, singing of junkies and angels, late night bars, existential crises and the overwhelming worlds of love and … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Kyle Craft – Full Circle Nightmare

NEW MUSIC: No Age – Send Me

No Age made a splash early on with their two-piece garagey post-punk in the early 2000s. For my mind they went off the boil with their last few releases but now they’re back with a new LP called Snares Like a Haircut, due out on January 26, 2018 via Drag City. Here’s the first single ‘Send Me’. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: No Age – Send Me

ALBUM REVIEW: Beaches – Second Of Spring

Beaches go into overdrive on their new seventeen track album. It’s their magnum opus of sorts, taking everything they’ve explored on the first two albums and synthesising it into one kaleidoscopic take on all things psychedelic. The album opens with two relentlessly churning tracks that set the stage for what is to follow. It signals their intent to push further out into the sonic aether, … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Beaches – Second Of Spring
