Laura Marling @ The Forum

Having just turned 22 a day prior, British songstress Laura Marling had certainly pulled an impressive crowd to sell-out the majestic Forum Theatre leading up to her appearance at Laneway. Not bad for the seemingly meek young starlet, who has managed to release three acclaimed records and achieved overwhelming recognition for her craft, all by the tender age of 21.   With all of Marling’s...

“You start off on a light foot, fall into a crevasse and then come back up again,” laughs Laura Marling. She’s talking about the journey that unfolds on her third album, A Creature I Don’t Know. It’s Marling’s latest critically-acclaimed composition and further proof that the 21-year-old (22 on February 1) from London is en route to becoming one of the most prolific and respected songwriters...

Caitlin Park : Milk Annual

It’s perhaps the abstract artwork that best sets the scene for Caitlin Park’s Milk Annual. A flower-breathing fox head carried in a basket by poppy-picking children in the dark of night.   Musically she is self-described as having taken the neo-folk genre and single-handedly pulled it to the left with abstract compositions and film nostalgia. No matter how it reads on the promo material, it... Read More
Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo : Billowing Sea
0 Comments. 864 Views. Posted 30 Nov 2011 @ 9:09am.
WA's Emily Barker is based in London and making great headway as "the new Laura Marling". Taken from her third album, Almanac, Billowing Sea is a bouncing folk tune that misses by miles the weighty sadness of her earlier singles, Nostalgia and Bones. The cello and fiddle parts are lovely, but Emily's voice is strained and choppy and the song is all over the place. The trilling Disney flute line... Read More

Laura Marling : I Was Just A Card
0 Comments. 979 Views. Posted 26 Oct 2011 @ 2:42pm.
Laura gets downright jazzy on this, the latest single from A Creature I Don’t Know, with the backing of some lovely muted horns. I don’t have a clue what she’s singing about, but it involves a man and it seems a little more theatrical and overwrought than her usual kitten-hearted fare. Bit of a weird one, to be honest. Slightly cheeseball. Read More
Daughter : Landfill

A wistful folk tune by a 21-year-old Londoner named Elena Tonra. She has a honey heavy voice that soars airily and drops to a whisper on command, and a great song to boot, but she's way too close to Laura Marling in both style and content. Read More

Noah and The Whale Wednesday August 3, The Corner Hotel

Husky's sublime single - History's Door - is ample proof that the most valuable aspect of venturing overseas is to return with a broadened perspective. Recorded in LA with Noah Georgeson (Joanna Newsom, The Strokes, Devendra Banhart), beautifully layered and lined in reflective wisdom, lead singer/guitarist Husky Gawenda and his wistful folk-pop troupe - cousin Gideon Preiss (keys/vocals), Evan...

Laura Marling : Sophia

Laura swings in low and heavy on the new single, taken from her forthcoming longplayer, A Creature I Don't Know (out September 9). The song builds strangely, beginning with minimal instrumentation, and then folding out unexpectedly in quixotic ribbons. The arch, always climbing melody and lack of a central chorus gives the song an almost Joanna Newsom quality - at least until the drums kick in... Read More
Noah and the Whale

Charlie Fink phones in from a lonely highway, somewhere in Utah, where the Noah And The Whale tour bus has broken down. This is after a spot of trouble on the Canadian border, where his rag tag bunch of English popsters were bailed up and accused of something or other, causing our interview to be delayed for several hours. Cursed tour, we wonder? "Brilliant tour so far, but a cursed day,"... Read More
Matt Corby: Transition to Colour

When I received Matt Corby’s last single, Light Home, I had no idea who he was. I thought the song was amazing, and said as much in my review. Later, when I realised he was a former Australian Idol finalist, I thought, ‘Woops’. Literally – ‘woops’. The conclusion would have beenthe same, but the introduction would have been significantly more condescending,... Read More
