Foxes ‘Youth’

January 22, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Late last year solo artist Foxes, aka Louisa Rose Allen, released her debut digital single, ‘Youth’, on Neon Gold. A couple of days ago the single was made available for purchase as a vinyl via the official Neon Gold store, which is what brought it to my attention. But you don’t really care about that. What really matters is that Youth is a powerhouse of a song, and introduces the world to a female musician very much in the vein of fellow Neon Gold recruit Mariana And The Diamonds, only… well, better.

The Ruminaters ‘Deadstuff’

January 18, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

The last thing that the Australian indie scene really needs is another garage-surf-rock band, but when the band in question is as good as Sydney’s The Ruminaters, I can certainly make an exception. Plus, any band that describes their music as “beatnik barnyard hillbilly swamp rock” can’t be bad. Have a listen to their first (and I believe only?) single, ‘Deadstuff’.

Montpelier ‘Danny’

January 9, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Like a lot of people I was pretty gutted and completely taken by surprise by Brisbane band Montpelier’s announcement that they would be calling it quits early this year, despite their very promising career being in its infancy. Unquestionably however the best way to leave the scene is with a bunch of great new music, and the band have achieved exactly that with the release today of their single ‘Danny’. Have a listen.

Walk Off The Earth ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’

January 7, 2012 by Lachy 1 Comment

It takes something pretty special to make the most over-played, over-hyped, over-Facebook-statused, and over-covered song sound refreshing and special, but Canadian band Walk Off The Earth have done just that with Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’. Their rendition is very faithful to the original, with one small difference: all five band members play using the same guitar. Have a look.

Okkervil River ‘Plan D’

January 3, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Late last year Okkervil River, one of my favourite bands, gave their fans a nice Christmas present in the form of a free EP entitled ‘Golden Opportunities 2’. Typically, it’s a wonderful little gem, full of heartful and dramatic lofi numbers that compliment the much more polished and produced songs of their latest full-length release, ‘I Am Very Far’, very nicely indeed.
