Melbourne post-punk quartet RVG present the new single/video, “Common Ground” from their forthcoming album, 'Brain Worms', out June 2nd on Fire Records. All throughout 'Brain Worms', it’s apparent that this is a band in very fine form. Album opener “Common Ground” sets the tone for what’s to come: a shiny, thrilling, punch of an album, with all the beloved RVG hallmarks.
Recognised as a purveyor of dreamier pop with folky leanings, this new album is a departure; a unique marriage of traditional stylings and very modern melodies; a breath-taking soundtrack which underpins her gorgeous vocal. Filled with personal tales of offspring and grandparents, the lovelorn and the lost, it’s the essence of re-imagined folk music, from the traditional intro and outro that act as bookends.
Following the release of Air Waves’ recent acclaimed album The Dance we reveal a brand new reworking of ‘Star Earring’ from electronic artist and record producer, Planningtorock. An expansive, perpetual remix that flawlessly transforms and transcends onto the dance floor. Planningtorock’s ‘Star Earring’ remix is an uplifting, electronic track that’s heady and hypnotic.
Decisive Pink are Angel Deradoorian (Dirty Projectors alumnus) and Kate NV, experimental pop artist. The duo release new album Ticket To Fame on 9th June on Fire Records. Today we reveal new track ‘Dopamine’ and announce a special live show at Union Pool in New York on 16th May
‘Mercy Of The Crane Folk’ is the beautifully accomplished second album from Athens GA’s Immaterial Possession. A theatrical soundscape littered with subconscious flashbacks, retro keyboard flurries, wandering Morricone-esque guitar and dreamy Sumac-like harmonies.
‘Jump Into Love’ is the new album from Half Japanese, true DIY noise-rock royalty, led by the ever-effervescent Jad Fair. It’s a meeting of minds, a coming together from the world’s favourite indie-alt-rock outsiders. Atypically out there and off-kilter, the album wears its heart on its sleeve through a cascade of new, dark and brooding songs from the band who would be king.
Originally released in 1996, Come’s third album Near Life Experience was the sound of a band heading into new territory, refining their dense mix of hypnotic noise-rock, blues and rock’n’roll songwriting.
