The XX ‘Chained’

August 8, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

The XX have posted another cut from their upcoming record ‘Coexist’ online, this time in the form of Chained. It’s a brilliant track, folding in on itself again and again like The XX’s best music and growing steadily at the same time, most notably through that electronic drum beat that sounds so out of place until it melds slowly into the rhythm of the song.

The Good China ‘We Knew That We Had To Leave’

July 26, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

elbourne band The Good China are seemingly incapable of writing a bad song, and this is only further illustrated by their new single We Knew That We Had To Leave, which is the first taste of an upcoming new EP. It’s got the band’s trademark harmonies and joyously busy choruses, mixed with a charming self-awareness and tongue-in-cheek lyrics including the refrain of “I’m so fucking indie I don’t even listen to music”.

The album includes the feel good and very radio friendly single ‘Ho Hey’, which I’ve been unable to stop listening to since I first heard it. It’s two and a half minutes of folk music bliss that flies by way too quickly.

The Killers ‘Runaways’

July 11, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

I’ve always had a soft spot for The Killers. Partly it’s because their good moments can be absolutely magnificent. Partly it’s because I still know all the words to ‘Read My Mind’; partly because I loudly and drunkenly sung ‘Mr. Brightside’ at a bar once.
