Melbourne trio These Patterns brought out this darkwave moodpiece Species last year. Its an EP that revels in its strung out, murky instrumentation, a meditation on sustenance and evolution. 'Begin' is the shortest track yet the screeching warbles that punctuate the last sixty seconds bleed into mammoth 'Forestry And Furniture', effectively throwing you down the rabbit hole, a nightmare and a migraine meeting in the eye of a hurricane. The title track is a metronomic exercise that echoes some of My Disco's more languid moments, deviating into elongated elements of echoed despair. The vocals are a nice touch here ...

For the latest installment of our mixtape series, Melbourne’s NO ZU present their “Preston to Coburg and The Global Erotic Mix”, a cosmopolitan compilation “for global travels between Preston, Coburg, Istanbul and Athens. Street jams for the emotional and luxurious funk for the fabulous”. The band will make their Sydney debut at Goodgod's “Danceteria” at the Opera House on June 2 as part of Vivid. Other acts performing include Egyptian Lover, Nicky Da B, Prince Zimboo, Geoffrey O'Connor, Donny Benet and Straight Arrows. More details here . NO ZU are currently prepping their debut album, Life , which will ...

For the 10th edition of our mixtape series, Sydney’s Charge Group present an “eclectic and nourishing taster of electronica, folk, psych and country from past and present, as well as a pre-dawn soul-journey for those who've just left the party because it sucked”. The four-piece/hoodie enthusiasts are launching their self-titled second album across the country in June (dates here ). It was described by M+N as “a sensitive, slow-burn record that’s much more about sighing open spaces than tight, fast-paced confines” . Their new clip, ‘Broken Sunlight’, was shot in New York City and Sydney with “their ...

I stumbled across this band when scouring Bandcamp last month, and have been suitably blown away. Sure there will be some apparent My Disco comparisons, but on their self-titled EP Sydney band Making really own their territory here. Its hard to find much out about a band called Making, but suffice to say the music talks for them. Muscular yet spare, repetitive yet adventurous, these six tracks really resonate. This kind of fever-pitched tension doesn't come around every day, especially when it is sustained across an entire record. Again, the My Disco allusions will come across here, but so ...

In the latest installment of our mixtape series, Sydney’s Cameron Webb (aka Seaworthy) has spliced together some of his favourite Australian experimental and instrumental artists with snippets of environmental sounds. Field recordings and found sounds have always been key components in Seaworthy's music, often forming bridges and foundations for pieces. "Australia produces some amazing noise," says Webb. "Not just Australian artists but also the environment as well. In this mix, a selection of recordings (mostly from coastal NSW) provide a link between the musical tracks. This mix is for late nights and early mornings.” The latest release from ...

Our irregular round-up of some new-ish cassette, CD-R and vinyl releases featuring Ghastly Spats, The Galaxy Folk, Bad//Dreems, Mad Nanna and the best punk band Australia has produced in ages, Helta Skelta. Words by TIM SCOTT . Ghastly Spats We're Breaking Through the Hymen (EP, Heinous Anus Records) Two dudes and two gals who break out smeared mascara and chipped black nail polish rock. It all sounds kind of feral. The music that a Hollywood production company would use for the soundtrack of an apocalyptic film shot in Marrickville. 'Sordid' has a pulsating and droney vocal chant/mumble while ...

DOUG WALLEN talks to Max Kohane (aka Max Crumbs) about learning his craft, finding inspiration on the road, collaborating and how Brain Children bandmate Mikey Young is too self-conscious to sing. Known formerly as Crumbs, Max Crumbs is the production outlet of Melbourne’s tireless Max Kohane. Trailing a long list of former bands, Kohane still juggles genres as drummer for grindcore champs Agents of Abhorrence and his experimental duo Pivixki with Anthony Pateras, as half of the pop-damaged electronic duo Brain Children with Eddy Current Suppression Ring’s Mikey Young and as singer of the lesser-known grindcore trio Internal ...

MY DISCO played a couple of shows, as part of their Australia Asia tour, at The Toff in Town on the weekend. They were in fine form and it was a real treat to hear stuff from ‘Little Joy’ with a mix of old tracks and possibly one new track too. Someone might confirm that? [...]

My Disco make a triumphant return to Sydney for a powerful performance of their experimental post-punk sound.

Following mixes by HTRK, Holly Throsby, Wooshie, Collarbones and Donny Benet comes a collection of tracks perfect for “late nights and long drives” by My Disco’s Liam Andrews. He describes the set as “the soundtrack to our long-haul night drives, from show to show, across North America and Europe. Dawn should break around the time Newbury drops." My Disco will make amends for a series of cancellations last year, embarking on a four date tour this month: April 7 at The Nash in Geelong, April 13 at Goodgod in Sydney and a double-header at The Toff in Melbourne (April ...

The Black Keys put on the second of their sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden last night. Along with their opener The Arctic Monkeys, a high watermark in rock shows was achieved. You can jump over to our friends at the Brooklyn Vegan for the nasty, snarky-comment-fueled points of view, but none truly reflect the moment. The Arctic Monkeys had an adoring group of fans as the crowd filled in, but the main attraction was staggering. The Black Key's performance was what we have come to expect

This post is fucking amazeballs for three reasons. Firstly, I initially wanted to talk about the incredible debut album from NZ's God Bows To Math . Put out by the indelible Tenzenmen Records (responsible for helping bands like Nikko, To The North and Dead! put stuff out, whilst also bringing many Asian acts such as Dear Eloise and Carsick Cars to Australian ears - there will be many posts coming from their quarter in due course) as well as our trans-Tasman friends Muzai Records , the self-titled releases is heavy, unmitigated sound that pounds the eardrums with the relentless monotony of a ...

Almost two years to the day since he pulled the pin on his fledgling festival, the founder of Brisbane’s Lost Weekend speaks for the first time about what went wrong and why punter apathy is the biggest threat to would-be promoters. Interview by ANDREW MCMILLEN . Billed as a three-day camping event located at a conference centre 45 minutes south-west of Brisbane, a 2010 music festival named The Lost Weekend seemed a worthy contender for the interests of Queensland rock fans who couldn’t afford to head south for Golden Plains . Headlined by Dinosaur Jr, The Dirty Projectors, Wooden Shjips ...
