Ah post-rock, how I’ve tried to embrace thee. The closest I’ve came to enjoying the genre was staring at the stars while Sigur Rós took to the grounds of Werribee Mansion late last year. Ísjaki sees the now three-piece reel in their tonal triumphs into a more concise form, bounding along with joyous pomp.

This is a song to ring in the end of the world, with a video inspired by Melancholia, The Tree Of Life, Aphex Twin and death metal. I cannot wait to hear it live. Cannot. Fucking. Wait. These are...

Harvest Festival may hold the distinction of being the only festival where the journey between the stages is almost as entertaining as the performances on the stages themselves. Wacky art sculptures, random marching bands, a tranquil lake reminiscent of Monet’s Water Lily Pond all combine to evolve what is normally a brisk walk into a wandering saunter, and to make me look a pompous, over-...

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
