NEW MUSIC: Bad//Dreems – Mob Rule

The Adelaide lads have turned things around pretty quickly following the long awaited release of Dogs At Bay last year. They’ve again worked with producer Mark Optiz and engineer Colin Wynne in their Melbourne studio, recording their upcoming sophomore release. The first track to come from the new album is the single ‘Mob Rule’ which hits a big gonzo chant of a chorus, sonically taking … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Bad//Dreems – Mob Rule

FILM REVIEW: Once More With Feeling

Music documentaries often follow one of a few common narratives, whether documenting the rise (and often) fall of a band or musician, or following the making of an album or tour. Once More With Feeling fills a couple of different roles in that it acts as a preview and scene-setter for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ new album Skeleton Tree, released the day after … Continue reading FILM REVIEW: Once More With Feeling

NEW MUSIC: Sleaford Mods – TCR

The minimal electronic punk duo Sleaford Mods have a new single/video out for the title track from their forthcoming EP TCR, due out on Oct 14th via Rough Trade Records. It finds them unleashing the same sarcastic, ranting critiques on modern culture over an 80s-indebted bleeping melody, robotic bass-line and incessant primitive drum machine. “Elvis has definitely left the fuckin’ building” Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Sleaford Mods – TCR

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds return with their new LP Skeleton Tree next Friday (Sept 9th) and a feature length film Once More With Feeling screening in theatres for on night only on Sept 8th.

NEW MUSIC: Quivers – Pigeons

Originally hailing from Hobart Tasmania, Quivers are now based in Melbourne and have a new cassette/download album out called We’ll Go Riding on the Hearses. Their bio name-checks Townes Van Zandt, Neil Young, The Triffids, The Chills, Twerps and Courtney Barnett which is a mighty fine barrel of sounds from which to draw from in our opinion. On the first single Pigeons they nail a swaying melancholic jangle, … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Quivers – Pigeons

SONIC KICKS: Witch Hats

Witch Hats have a few very good albums under the collective belt but their latest, Deliverance, is hands down the best thing they’ve done. It’s a blistering set of lurching rock ‘n’ roll and in our review we said “They’re firmly in the realm of The Clash, The Drones and The Gun Club yet they’ve dug their own hook-laden hole and decorated it with all … Continue reading SONIC KICKS: Witch Hats

NEW MUSIC: The Lemon Twigs – These Words

The Lemon Twigs are the brothers Brian (19) and Michael (17) D’Addario from Long Island who I came across online a month or two ago. They caught my attention with this song These Words and another single As Long As We’re Together. Madcap technicolour pop sounds by the pair who write and play everything on their recordings. I’ve been digging the glam, baroque-pop sound of others like Kyle Craft of late and these guys … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: The Lemon Twigs – These Words

NEW MUSIC: The Tambourine Girls – The Tambourine Girl

The Tambourine Girls feature 3 ex-members of Sydney band Deep Sea Arcade who are now forging their own winding path through the outer reaches of garage-pop and psychedelia. They’ve just released the catchy and near-eponymous new single ‘The Tambourine Girl’, with the clip below. Recorded with producer Tim Whitten (Powderfinger, The Go-Betweens, Hoodoo Gurus), the song itself is captivating, evocative in its execution encompassing the mythology … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: The Tambourine Girls – The Tambourine Girl

ALBUM REVIEW: The Mystery Lights – The Mystery Lights

The popularity of psych and garage rock in recent years shows no sign of abating and that’s a good thing when top shelf exponents such as NewYork five-piece The Mystery Lights rise to the top. They’ve got the 60s sound down pat with heavy-on-the-reverb, fuzzed-out guitars, droning organ, and a soulful, punk-injected push and pull rhythm section. Singer Mike Brandon has a thin, taut and … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: The Mystery Lights – The Mystery Lights
