Brooke Addamo has used synths fat and thin, percussion that sounds like it’s been squeezed through a bunch of rubber tubes or is being bashed by a gorilla-man, and all manner of little electronic details to provide the backdrop for her sweet...

Owl Eyes : Closure
0 Comments. 259 Views. Posted 10 Apr 2013 @ 2:22pm.
Owl Eyes dives into the sticky end of Pretty In Pink fantasy with the glassy synth pop tune. Lifted from her forthcoming album, Nightswim, it is a hyper lush, hyper girly, romantic and yearning piece so thick with '80s nostalgia it is basically indistinguishable from the original sound.

Crystalised is the lead single from Owl Eyes’ new EP, Bad Reality. It opens with icy bursts of synth and guns into a killer new disco hook, dreamy but compelling. Brooke Addamo’s voice drifts across the beats in an Olivia-Newton-John-circa-Xanadu fashion, sweet and very occasionally gutsy, lush and seductive.  Read More

It's been a long time coming, but Australian hip hop has well and truly gained a great deal of penetration throughout the mainstream channels. Any cringe-worthy notions attributed to rap with a 'Strayan accent have long dissipated. So it's strange to find the ultra-naff term 'skip hop' weaselling its way into the vernacular.
