Radical Face ‘A Pound Of Flesh’

October 7, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

Radical Face is Florida musician Ben Cooper. If you think you don’t know of him then you’re mistaken, because he’s the guy behind ‘Welcome Home’, the backing track of this insanely popular Nikon ad that has been doing the rounds on Australian television for the better part of a year. He has recently released a new album, ‘The Roots’, the first part of a planned trilogy of ‘Family Tree’ albums that follow the story of a fictional family. This track, ‘A Pound Of Flesh’, is my personal favourite song off the record.

Enola Fall ‘Andromeda’

September 26, 2011 by Lachy 2 Comments

I saw Tasmanian band Enola Fall open for The Jezabels more than a year ago. They played a really enjoyable set full of keyboard-driven rock music, structured around lead singer Joe Nuttall’s brilliant falsetto. The thing that really struck me about the band was that they were very intent on developing their sound- so much so that they passed out a notepad into the crowd halfway through their set, asking for constructive criticism and praise.

It’s a really really great track, exhibiting all the trademark James Blake touches that we have come to love.

Lana Del Rey ‘Video Games’

September 13, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

It has been too long since I have heard new music that takes me breath away and holds me captive for three and a half minutes without another thought in the world. In fact the last time was probably when I first heard pieces of Bon Iver’s new album. Since then there’s been a lot of cool stuff released, but nothing that powerful and that memorable. I’m talking music you remember hearing for the first time. Anyway, that was the case until I heard the track ‘Video Games’ by Lana Del Rey a couple of days ago.
