La Sera : Sees The Light
0 Comments. 741 Views. Posted 30 Apr 2012 @ 9:21am.
Break-up albums are a dime a dozen, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a more lighthearted breakup album than La Sera’s Sees The Light. Opening song Love That’s Gone has all intentions of being an introverted, self-pitying song going by its title and musical style, but when Katy Goodman kicks things off with the lyric ‘I love my life without you’, it suggests something quite different. After this... Read More

Nicknamed with another interesting acronym courtesy of the initials of our western state, the Western Australian Music Industry Awards (the ‘WAMIs’) are an annual affair, celebrating the achievements of WA’s local, national and international music industry. They’ve lauded many acts prior to the artists’ acknowledgement in other states or nationally, including Karnivool, Little Birdy, The Sleepy... Read More

  The hyperbolic notion of the 'miraculous', the 'remarkable' or the plain 'unbelievable' rise to prominence of an artist within the contemporary music industry is a more clichéd and often fallacious concept than the fable of penning an album in an isolated woodland cabin. This ideology, however, is perhaps the only way to describe the astonishingly uplifting yet undeniably heartbreaking... Read More
The Magnetic Fields : Andrew In Drag
0 Comments. 636 Views. Posted 15 Feb 2012 @ 9:41am.
  The Magnetic Fields’ new album is a bubbling electro folk charmer, but the lead single isn’t necessarily the best track on the album. With a cute breakaway chorus, Andrew In Drag showcases Stephin Merritt’s familiar tongue-in-cheek style through the standard tropes of unrequited love and sexual transgression: “A pity she does not exist / A shame he’s not a fag / The only girl I’ve ever...

  So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band? We’re called Blanche DuBois and I’m Adriana Begovich, the guitarist/vocalist.   Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like? Our latest record Young Heart drew a lot of comparisons to Sarah Blasko’s earlier stuff. People have also always compared us to The Waifs... Read More

New Boyz

If ever there was a group that served as a walking advertisement for hip hop being a youth movement - it's New Boyz. Overlooking the crafty veterans that have hung on to their spots, hip hop has and always will be about what's new and shiny. Blending R&B smoothness with an energetic hip hop flavour, the California-bred duo burst, or in this case danced, their way onto the scene in 2009.... Read More

Talamasca

Cedric Dessulle - known to the French DJ community as Talamasca - oddly enough still remembers the very date he fell in love with the world of trance, except it wasn't really trance as a sound that captured his attention first; on February 7, 1992, it was the electric vibe of the first ever rave he attended, the incredible energy of the show that changed his taste and life forever from that date...

Cass McCombs : Wit’s End

In the digital era it's refreshing to come across an artist with a mythical quality, whether self-created or not. As soon as the darkly comic tones of Love Thine Enemy come on you know that you're listening to the enigmatically laidback Cass McCombs and that shit is about to go down. On the aforementioned opener he talks of hating a lack of sincerity, then turns around and makes an attempt to... Read More

M. Jack Bee : Sound of Love
0 Comments. 1,632 Views. Posted 19 Oct 2011 @ 3:09pm.
Byron Bay's M. Jack Bee has a beautiful voice, a low timbre with smooth edges and a wry undertone that climbs into a strained alto every now and then. His publicist compares him to Neil Diamond and Jack Ladder and that's about right - he's a youthful indie pop crooner with a polished, slightly husky charm. His voice takes centre stage in this song, accompanied by slim piano notes, steady tom... Read More
The Jezabels : Prisoner
0 Comments. 2,534 Views. Posted 19 Oct 2011 @ 9:13am.
There's always been a brooding, and at times overstated, intensity to The Jezabels, but it's this very trait that has endeared them to adoring fans both at home and abroad while also separating the Sydney quartet from their peers - simply put, there are currently few bands that do emotional alt-rock better than this impassioned group. The Jezabels have truly honed their penchant for the epic,... Read More

"Sometimes I have a groove in my head," explains Berlin DJ Philip Bader of his creative process, "and I work it out in that process. The track grows often to a totally new one. In the end I know: 'That's it!'" Having fallen in love with all things electronic back in 1998, Bader did not wait long to make his DJ debut at the old Tresor Club just a year later, but the music enthusiast found soon... Read More
Royal Headache : Royal Headache

Why has the whole Pitchfork thing become such a sticking point for Sydney's Royal Headache? Australian acts such as Beaches, Geoffrey O'Connor, Miami Horror, Muscles, Twerps, and even The Veronicas have experienced far greater levels of exposure through the infamous indie kingmaker (and that's disregarding the 'Monkey pee' 0.0 review of Jet's Shine On). Thing is, nobody actually gave a shit -... Read More
