NEWS: Tindersticks release new museum soundtrack Ypres

In late 2011 tindersticks were commissioned by the In Flanders Fields World War One museum in Ypres, Belgium to provide the soundscape for the new permanent exhibition being planned to commemorate the centenary of the Great War and beyond. Ypres was the epicenter of the Western Front in The Great War and was virtually destroyed by the conflict. It has since been rebuilt to its … Continue reading NEWS: Tindersticks release new museum soundtrack Ypres

ALBUM REVIEW: Bearhug – So Gone

Sydney’s Bearhug have taken things into new sonic territory on So Gone, the follow-up to last year’s Over Easy EP. Gone are the clean, jangling and relatively unassuming songs. In their place are eleven tracks that buzz and fizz with layered, distorted guitars in the vein of Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth and a lively The War On Drugs. Their breezy way with melody is still … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Bearhug – So Gone

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: Minderbender | Emotions

Christchurch natives, now based in Wellington, Minderbender are a duo that clearly have a taste for post punk and electronic music in equal quantities. Emotions is their debut album and it successfully embraces both organic and synthetic musical sounds and revels in their primitive and direct application. The title of the album sums up its theme of twelve different human emotions from ‘Expectations’ through ‘Evasion’, … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Minderbender | Emotions

NEW MUSIC: Earth | From The Zodiacal Light

I was lucky enough to witness Earth live in concert in Sydney last night and it was a totally absorbing and sonically hypnotic experience with the Dylan Carlson-led trio playing a cross-section of music from across the second incarnation of the band’s existence. A few new songs were aired which sounded as good as anything else they’ve done. The new album Primitive and Deadly is out … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Earth | From The Zodiacal Light

SONG OF THE WEEK: Protomartyr | Maidenhead

Protomartyr delivered one of my favourite guitar-based records of last year in the dark, post-punk rock of No Passion All Technique so I was pretty excited to see they already have a follow-up recorded and just released. Under Color of Official Right takes the key elements of the last album and improves on them exponentially. The vocals are less barked and approach melodic singing in … Continue reading SONG OF THE WEEK: Protomartyr | Maidenhead

ALBUM REVIEW: The Afghan Whigs | Do To The Beast

Many thought that it was well and truly the end of the line when Greg Dulli, John Curley, Rick McCollum and drummer Steve Earle went their separate ways in 2001. Their dark and mysterious chemistry felt like it had probably run its natural course yet they went out on the back of their three finest albums. It was therefore a surprise to many when The … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: The Afghan Whigs | Do To The Beast

NEW MUSIC: Guerre | Deatheat

  I saw this Canadian/Australian artist Guerre perform live a while back and was impressed by his ability to marry soulful vocals with experimental electronica.

Check out the first taste of the album in ‘Deatheat’.   Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Guerre | Deatheat

NEW MUSIC: Boris | Quicksilver (from forthcoming new LP Noise)

Boris are an incredible band who fuse, distort, bend and blend metal, psych, noise, punk and drone into one definitive sound. Live they are pummelling and hypnotic, on record they can be frustratingly indulgent or thrillingly visceral. ‘Quicksilver’ is the first taste of their new LP Noise which comes out on June 17th via Sargent House. Be prepared for seven minutes of tsunami-like waves of metallic and … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Boris | Quicksilver (from forthcoming new LP Noise)

NEW MUSIC: Fennesz | Static Kings

Christian Fennesz has been merging electronica and guitars for years now, making both seem inseparable in his world, the latter often unrecognisable. Now he’s returning to the Mego label where he released what many consider his finest album Endless Summer (My personal favourite is still Venice) in 2001. On April 29th he’ll unveil his new record Bécs. Here’s the first taste of the album with the track ‘Static … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Fennesz | Static Kings
