Exciting times ahead for Brisbane’s Mosman Alder, with their debut EP Burn Bright due for release on May 25. Since reviewing the EP’s first single “ Raisin Heart ” last month, Indie Shuffle has become one of the band’s biggest supporters – so much so that they have given us an exclusive sneak-peak stream of Burn Bright . The EP itself almost never happened, with Queensland hit by terrible floods during its creation. Thankfully, the band pushed through, with Burn Bright all the more special because of it. Having had to complete odd jobs for studio time, the EP was then ...

Founds are a local Brisbane group and lordy, they have so much raw energy. If Sigur Ros, Beirut and Bjork made a musical child, this is what it would sound like, probably.

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Sigur Ros, Jonsi, Sufjan Stevens, Alpine Song: Founds - Avalanches [download here ] What's so good? This track caught me seriously by surprise. I was so enraptured when I first heard it that I pulled over on a busy highway to find out what it was. The song I’m talking about is “Avalanches” by Brisbane band Founds. Having been together for just over a year, the six-piece is currently finishing their debut album Hadean , which will be released in the coming months. “Avalanches” is a captivating, mesmerising track – more likely to be made ...

Das verheiratete Dub-Pärchen Peaking Lights hat nach den ersten drei Mixtapes jetzt das vierte Stück der "Lucifer"-Reihe enthüllt. Der gleichnamige Nachfolger des Debüts " 936 " soll am 18. Juni diesen Jahres erscheinen. Das Tape ist ein berauschend tiefer Mix aus harmonischem Roots-Reggae und Jamaica Pop. Peaking Lights stellen erneut ihre herausragenden Fähigkeiten an den Plattentellern unter Beweis und liefern mit dieser variantenreichen Auswahl ihrer unglaublichen Sammlung den perfekten Sound für den Sommer. Das Set erinnert durch seinen Verzicht auf beatlastige Elemente auch an den "Sleepy Bedtime Mix" von The Avalanches ( motor.de berichtete ). Überzeugt euch an dieser Stelle selbst: Peaking ...

Modular label stalwarts The Avalanches (pictured) promise and swear that their long-awaited second album will be out this year, but in the meantime the group have released what seems to be a brand new mixtape. Last week, the group took to Twitter and posted a link to a stream entitled Sleepy Bedtime Mix For Youngsters, hosted on the new mixtape site Pinchy And Friends. The mix is credited to a Henry Chinaski, which is the name of the Mickey Rourke character in the movie Barfly, leading many to s ...

Getting set to play Splendour in the Grass, as well as releasing their debut EP... Larry Heath caught up with the band to talk about playing the festival, what we can expect from the EP and much more... Let’s get rolling, what’s your schedule like today? Just this and then going to hang out! Ah that’s easy! Cool. Alright, well, we’re here to talk many things, I guess firstly, you’re back on the Splendour line-up. You were on it last year as well, but I remember it being a very early spot from memory how ...

Se potessimo spedire un campionatore indietro nel tempo, diciamo verso la metà degli Anni Sessanta, forse qualcuno produrrebbe un disco simile a questo The Wild, The Innocent, The TV Shuffle dei Tv Girl . Non è un album e non è nemmeno un EP: la band lo definisce "mixtape", dato che consiste in una specie di "farewell love letter to sampling". Tracce composte interamente di frammenti rubati, un suono che mescola indiepop, R'n'B e groove, quasi come dei Go-Team meno frenetici o come degli Avalanches più melodici e più malinconici, e che in un paio di momenti mi ricorda ...

The Avalanches recently tweeted about a mix they made under the name Henry Chinaski – which was an autobiographical character Charles Bukowski used in his novels – and its addition to the mixes section of their website all but confirms they are getting everyone ready for something much bigger. This collection of mellows from artists including Vashti Bunyan, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Joanna Newsom is a welcome addition to their [...]

Melbourne singer-songwriter Penny Hewson, formerly of indie-folk duo Sea Stories (and also the first manager for The Avalanches – there’s interesting résumé), has signed to Popboomerang Records. They’ll be releasing her second solo album, It’s An Endless Desire, in August. A couple of songs have been released on Soundcloud as a taster; you can hear them at www.soundcloud.com/penny-hewson. ...

"It's to do with deep feelings about mostly inexpressible things." says the wonderfully monikered Slugabed (Greg Feldwick) of Time Team , his first full-length release. At face value, the publicity material's description of the record might suggest visions of music being created in some untidy 'high-pressure' laboratory packed with an 'inner core' of steampunk contraptions, surrounded by hermetically sealed glass tanks full of 'crystal growth'. Skip the blurb and head straight into the album however, and the experience may be more akin to walking into an old curiosity shop from the future past that specialises in digital audio freakery ...

Das verheiratete Dub Pop-Paar Peaking Lights hat nach den ersten beiden durchnummerierten Mixtapes jetzt "Lucifer 3" online gestellt. Der gleichnamige Nachfolger des Debüts " 936 " soll am 18. Juni diesen Jahres erscheinen. Das Tape ist ein weiterer Beweis für die herausragenden Fähigkeiten der beiden und erinnert durch seinen Verzicht auf beatlastige Elemente an den "Sleepy Bedtime Mix" von The Avalanches ( motor.de berichtete ). Wer auf "Lucifer 3" bis knapp hinter die 32-Minuten-Marke gelangt, bekommt einen schönen Eindruck der kommenden Single "Beautiful Son", die hier elegant in den Sampler eingearbeitet wurde: Peaking Lights - "Lucifer Mixtape 3" Mixtapes erfreuten sich besonders in Vergangheit ...
