Kate Martin ‘Candle Burnin’, Wax Drippin”

March 19, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Townsville solo artist Kate Martin received a lot of attention with her debut album last year entitled ‘Synthetic Shoes, Leather Boots’, that was equal parts Middle East, Efterklang, and Seeker Lover Keeper, all condensed into one fantastic musician. Kate’s second album, ‘Hand Me My Bow And Arrow’, is due out in the next few days, and she has just released a video for the track ‘Candle Burnin’, Wax Drippin”. And here… we… go.

Skipping Girl Vinegar ‘Chase The Sun’

March 19, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Skipping Girl Vinegar are one of those Australian bands that I hear about a lot and keep on meaning to check out properly but never really get around to it.

Watch it for yourself and you’ll see why.

Perhaps you did too, because I honestly believe that this is a criminally under-rated band. They’re still one of the best live acts I have ever seen. And so, better late than never, here’s the first new material we have heard from the guys since the magnificent ‘It’s Frightening’, two tracks entitled ’Heavy Metal’ and ‘Temporary’.

Beach House ‘Myth’

The fantastic (at least in studio form, live I found them a bit underwhelming) Beach House have released a new track online, ‘Myth’, supposedly taken from their next album called ‘Bloom’ which will be out this May via their label Sub Pop. The details may be uncofirmed, but all that really matters is that the song is stunning. Check it out below.
