Aunty Meredith has done it again.  This time around, the Golden Plains crew have added Jersey indie-delights Real Estate, and local garage kings Total Control to the already astounding bill for Golden Plains Sixxx. A sonic smorgasboard of a line-up, the exciting new additions join the likes of Bon Iver, Black Lips, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and Roky Erikson to... Read More
Matt Corby : Into the Flame
1 Comments. 3,020 Views. Posted 22 Nov 2011 @ 10:47am.
Into the Flame is a frighteningly sincere EP for a man only in his early 20s. The opening song Brother is its strongest track and possibly Corby's best release to date. It's hard to avoid singing along to the soulful vocals and growling chorus and at times it seems inspired by fellow Aussies Cloud Control. Perhaps only its length will limit its possibilities as a radio hit. The... Read More
Single Of The Week [No. 2] Youth Lagoon : Cannons
0 Comments. 1,073 Views. Posted 12 Oct 2011 @ 1:59pm.
22-year-old Trevor Powers has released a heartbreaking album of indie esoterica called The Year of Hibernation and this is our lead single. With its crunchy 808 beat and snowy synth notes, high and distant lead vocal and overall sense of magic and sadness, Cannons evokes Bon Iver and Sigur Ros, and the emotional fragility of Sufjan Stevens. A nostalgic, quietly devastating tune. Read More

Your name: Jack Parsons.   Your band’s name: The Pretty Littles.   What’s the deal with the band’s name: I don’t like your tone... just a shit-hot collection of words of no relevance to anything really, that were kind of said in I Am The Walrus describing a policeman.   Define your sound in five words or less: Bang, Slap, Shred, Yell.   Someone is walking past as you’re...

The War On Drugs: Slave Ambient
1 Comments. 1,517 Views. Posted 16 Sep 2011 @ 10:38am.
I had a soft spot for the first album by The War On Drugs, and I’m pleasantly surprised to find their follow-up Slave Ambient so appealing. Slave Ambient is sublime alt-pop with droney inclinations, never far from the warmth of early-era My Morning Jacket or Midlake. There's also the aura of Kurt Vile permeating here, like a vein running throughout, which brings these songs that much closer to... Read More

Define your genre in five words or less: “Indie electro soul.” Someone walls past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you... what do they say? “They wouldn't be telling their friends about me down at the pub because they would still be at the gig. But once that’s over and they've caught up with their friends, they would just say: ‘Can't describe it, you... Read More
Lia Ices : Grown Unknown
0 Comments. 1,485 Views. Posted 15 Mar 2011 @ 10:04am.
For the follow-up to her debut album Necima, Lia Ices fled the borough of Brooklyn to record in a secluded cabin in snowy Vermont. It's a similar rite of passage taken by label-mate Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver) when he recorded his breakthrough album For Emma, Forever Ago. Going by the quality of both of these albums, it's clearly a winning formula. Vernon himself crops up as a guest on Grown... Read More

So then, what's your name and what you 'do' in the band?   "The band is Jack Carty, but you can call me Jack. I play guitar and sing and write songs and do most things really because I play solo."   Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?   "Hopefully they will think I sound rad. Perhaps in a... Read More
