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.

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.

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.

Jens Lekman ‘I Don’t Know What To Do With This Information’

November 22, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

Fresh off releasing one of the best EPs of the year, ‘An Argument With Myself’, Melbourne-based Swede Jens Lekman played an acoustic session for London’s Maida Vale studios, where he opened proceedings with a new track entitled ‘I Don’t Know What To Do With This Information’. It sounds a lot like your typical Jens song: pretty, witty, and downright fantastic. Have a listen.

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.
