You Have To Hear: Horse Feathers

October 31, 2009 by Lachy 1 Comment

So I’ve been looking at a lot of summer music lately- fitting given that I’m based in Australia, but maybe not so fitting for my international readers. So here’s a band that reminds me more of winter, Horse Feathers. Horse Feathers are an indie folk band from Portland. They specialise in sweeping choruses, heartfelt lyrics, […]

You Have To Hear: Your Twenties

This time up it’s an indie band from Sydney, Australia, called Red Riders. And it’s another real summer band that is almost certainly best enjoyed when submerged in an icy-cold swimming pool on a warm sunny day.

Album Review: Leader Cheetah ‘The Sunspot Letters’

October 25, 2009 by Lachy 0 Comments

I first was introduced to these guys when I saw The Middle East (whose song ‘Blood’ inspired the title of this blog) play live a few months ago. After the encore, The Middle East said that they had been touring for a while with these longtime mates of theirs, who were also in a band, […]
