ALBUM REVIEW: You Beauty – Illywhacka

Their debut Jersey Flegg initially received no attention on its release but it quickly built a fanbase around its concept (rugby league) and sonic palette. Illywhacka hits similar territory musically and again they’ve loosely based it around a theme, this time online dating. There are shades of Real Estate, Girls and Mac DeMarco in the trembling and shimmering guitars and the way the bass dances … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: You Beauty – Illywhacka

NEW MUSIC: Tindersticks – Hey Lucinda

Tindersticks rearranged my universe in a small way when I first heard their Simple Pleasure album in 1999. It was around the same time that I fell for Lambchop, Mogwai and various other bands that dealt in graceful musical moods and atmosphere. I’ve followed them ever since, getting that sense of anticipation at hearing that warm melancholic tone of Stuart Staples over his bandmates’ new … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Tindersticks – Hey Lucinda

Kelly’s new album Leisure Panic is coming out via ABC Music on October 9th and this is the first single ‘Never Stop The Rot’. A freewheeling Pavement-esque slice of … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Dan Kelly – Never Stop The Rot

ALBUM REVIEW: Django Django – Born Under Saturn

Three years ago another English electronic act added their name to the list that includes Depeche Mode, New Order and Underworld; bands that were able to harness futuristic sounds and marry them with a pop sensibility. They all wrote uber-catchy songs yet a common strain of melancholy coursed through most of their work. Django Django (and Hot Chip) in particular are continuing that legacy and … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Django Django – Born Under Saturn

VIDEO: Jess Ribeiro – Hurry Back To Love

‘Hurry Back To Love’ is the second single from Jess Ribeiro’s great new album Kill It Yourself. You can read our review of the album over at our Americana music blog Post To Wire. Ribeiro has created an all encompassing mood on Kill It Yourself. It drifts on a dreamy plane, heavy-lidded at times, quietly strident at others. It’s a rewarding shift from the country sound … Continue reading VIDEO: Jess Ribeiro – Hurry Back To Love
