Inspired And The Sleep ‘Running’

December 31, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

A while ago I posted about Inspired And The Sleep, a project involving Californian resident Max Greenhalgh and his aptitude for making pretty summer music. The band’s first single, ‘While We’re Young’, has received plenty of blog lovin’, and now the band have released their second single, ‘Running’, including giving it the music video treatment.

The Tiger And Me ‘The Smoke’

December 17, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

Melbourne band The Tiger And Me recently released the second in their series of three recordings, ‘The Silent City’, following from part one ‘The Howling Fire’, which was released in July of this year. ‘The Smoke’ is the first single taken from ‘The Silent City’, and it makes for enthralling listening. At once restrained and grandiose, with orchestral elements that threaten to explode and take over the song but never do as well as gorgeous interplay between male and female vocals, this is a must listen song.

Elephant Eyes ‘I Want To Know’

November 25, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

Elephant Eyes are a fairly new Melbourne band who have just released their debut single, ‘I Want To Know’, which has already received a bit of love from radio stations PBS, Triple R, and SYN. It’s no surprise either: this is a delicately and superbly crafted track, built around the interplay between alternating lead vocalists Kate McMahon and Stu Hazelman (also of The Hazelman Brothers). It’s slow paced but in a very endearing, deliberate way, and it stands out head and shoulders above a lot of generic Australian music at the moment.

This track hit the interwebs a couple of weeks ago but I completely missed it, which means, hey, you might just have missed it as well. In which case I am happy to present to you a new studio recording from the greatest band in the world, The National, performing a cover of a Philistines Jr. track, ‘Twenty Miles To NH Part 2’. And holy shit what a cover it is.

Allbrook/Avery ‘Wait ‘Til Morning’

November 21, 2011 by Lachy 1 Comment

Allbrook/Avery is, fittingly, a collaboration between Nick Allbrook and Cameron Avery, both of whom you may recognise from other projects such as Pond, Tame Impala, and Growl. I’ve been receiving emails about the band for a while but only checked them out very recently, and I must say I’m quite impressed, even though it’s not exactly the type of music I usually listen to. The guys have just released their debut album, ‘Big Art’, which includes previous single ‘Empty’ as well as this track, ‘Wait ‘Til Morning’.

The Belligerents ‘Steal Money’

November 21, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

Earlier in the year I posted about The Belligerents’ debut EP ‘Less Arty, More Party’, noting that it was not only wonderfully titled but also a really fun, energetic, and upbeat record. Well the Brisbane band have just released their next single following said EP, a collaboration with dance outfit Mitzi entitled ‘Steal Money’. Lend it your ears.
