Expensive Music Band Sing About Cool Aunty

Leave a comment

Expensive Music Band was not quite on my radar until this year, but now I can’t help but to just turn on a single when it comes our way, like this latest single, “Cool Aunty.” This go round we find the band in slow-burning fashion, regaling us with an homage to all the strong bad-ass women that influence us, and our children. I love how the band seems to employ an almost surf meets garage vibe, though they’re elevating it beyond even what I expect. There’s lush arrangements throughout the tune, leading the listener through a sort of ceremonious version of rock n’ roll; you’ll also find some syllable playfulness from Troon Lienad that’s absolutely marvelous. Pencil in Things to Say at a Barbecue for your listening pleasure; it drops on June 16th via Exclusive Culture/Permanent Slump.

Expensive Music Band Share RNR Cliche

Those in the Aussie scene surely know of Troon Lienard, an outsider pop artists for some time, but for those not hip to his work, we’re bringing new of fresh tunes from Expensive Music Band to you all today. Troon’s joined by a who’s who of the underground scene overseas, fleshing out the core of this tune with this insatiable little bob and weave. As many things Troon’s been spinning, there’s a wry sense of humor, with this song taking aim at the trope of the glamorous rock n’ roll lifestyles (nee RNR). Take that DIY ethos, a fashionable sense of pop, then throw it in with a pinch of quirkiness and a heady groove, and you’ve got the hit below…all courtesy of Permanent Slump/Exclusive Culture.

New Stuff from Robert Sotelo

Leave a comment

I’m still catching up from last week’s releases that I either missed or accidentally ignored amidst all the fun of Bandcamp’s waived-fee Friday, like this new stuff from Robert Sotelo. It’s the recording project of Andrew Doig, who we’ve covered before with his Infinite Sprawling LP for Upset the Rhythm. This two song single came out Friday, and I’m absolutely in love with it; it’s these synth driven pop songs, crafted so uniquely that while I can hear lineage, I can’t recall anything current that really sounds like this. I was initially drawn to “Dear Resident” from the beginning of my listen, but on repeat runs through, “Operate Now” might be my favorite of these two tracks. It has this sneaky little directional change around the 1:40 minute mark that totally made me fall in love. Please spend some time with these tracks, out now via Permanent Slump. Oh…and if you click to go to the Bancamp page, there’s two great videos to accompany each track.
