Battleships ‘Your Words’

June 30, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Sydney four-piece Battleships recently released their second single, Your Words, which is the followup to their debut single In Retrospect, because that’s how chronology works. In Retrospect received a heap of praise and really announced Battleships to the Australian music scene, and Your Words looks set to continue this arrival. It’s four minutes of carefully constructed, intelligent music that grows steadily to a wonderful climax, adding layers of sound one after another to create a brilliantly textured song, before stripping them away with just as much ease.

The Clues ‘Occupied’

I posted about Brisbane band The Clues and their debut single, ’This Year’, what feel likes forever ago, and the band have returned with their first new material since the release of their debut EP ‘Yocto’. The song is called  Occupied, and it’s another easy going, fun, and highly polished indie pop number.

Air Traffic Controller (previously known as Madhat) are releasing their sophomore album, ‘NORDO’, on June 26th. The music they play is a little hard to describe. It’s power pop music with country leanings; it’s what Matt And Kim would sound like if they came from the South instead of Brooklyn.

The song is called ‘Go Quietly’, and it was written with The John Steel Singers’ Scott Bromiley and mixed by Lars Stalfors, famous for his work with The Mars Volta.

You probably know Perth-based electronic musician Pogo from his musical remixes of Pixar movies, which have received international attention and attracted millions of views on YouTube. Well he’s back, and doing something a little different this time. Instead of remixing a kids movie he’s come out with a remix of ‘Pulp Fiction’.

Tin Can Radio ‘It Goes On’

June 20, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Brisbane band Tin Can Radio produced some great indie pop music last year, at the same time as they built a reputation for having a killer and very energetic live show. Since then they have been in hibernation for six months, but they’ve just emerged with their new single ’It Goes On’, which is easily their strongest track to date.
