The Griswolds ‘Mississippi’

March 3, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

The reliably excellent Rare Finds have announced their first band of 2012, and it’s none other than Sydney’s The Griswolds. The band not may be from Brisbane like most of Rare Finds’ signings, but they play just as infectious pop music as the likes of YesYou and The Belligerents, which is a very very good thing. Check out their euphoric single ‘Mississippi’.

Them Swoops ‘Work Around It’

February 23, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Cosine Records have been putting out some fantastic Australian releases recently, and the latest band to join the family is Melbourne’s Them Swoops. The duo are so good that Cosine Records have actually released a double A-side record from the boys as opposed to the split-release that they are accustomed to. It’s hardly surprising either: this is melodious, sweeping, infectious indie pop that can sound uncannily like Napoleon-era Phoenix at times, which is meant as the highest of compliments.

Darren Korb ‘Mother, I’m Here’

February 21, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

I do like me the occasional video game, and one game I’ve been playing recently is a fairly well-known indie number called ‘Bastion’. Not only is the game absolutely stunning and completely beautiful, with art direction to rival the most expensive movies, but it also features one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard in a game.

Ben And The Sea ‘The Sailor’

February 19, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Ben And The Sea began life two years ago when musician Ben Webb left his home of Port Stephens in New South Wales and embarked on a journey that would eventually take him to more than 15 countries over 12 months, playing shows as he went. Eventually he settled in Belgium, where he formed the ‘And The Sea’ part of his band name, collecting a bunch of passionate musicians from all around the world to help him record and play live. The EP ‘A Life Outside’ is a result of this.

Wolf And Cub ‘See The Light’

February 17, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Nearly two years after the release of their second album, Adelaide outfit Wolf And Cub are back with a new double A-side single featuring both ‘See The Light’ and ‘All Through The Night’. They’re both very well-constructed dream pop numbers, but the former in particular really grabbed my attention with a persuasive bass line that draws you in. Check it out.
