Last Quokka Blaze Through Disconnected Single

Leave a comment

When you hit me with a huge “whoo” to open up a track, you better believe it’s going to be something I’m going to throw down, such as this fresh Last Quokka track. The band hail from Perth, way out in Western Australia, so the title of their latest single could certainly relate to their location. But, it seems like it’s working on multiple levels, with the lyrical content tied more to one’s inability to cope with the continuous decline of Western Civilization. There’s this ferociousness to the tune that I found super appealing, seeing it as the only way we can really approach the future nowadays. Grab a copy of the band’s new album Red Dirt today!

Erasers Share Easy to See

Leave a comment

Seeing that Constant Connection is out next week, this is likely the last single we get before the new Erasers record drops in our laps. While earlier tunes had this sort of heartbeat, “Easy to See” appears to be more reflective, almost like the final drops in the sink after you’ve turned off the faucet. Rebecca’s voice, while melodic, feels very much like this intoxicating mantra, more spoken then sung. The tune is the perfect to close out their album, looking back on all they’ve created, while also looking back on all we’ve created. Constant Connection drops on April 22nd via Night School/Fire Talk.

Erasers Release A Breeze + Video

Leave a comment

Perth’s Erasers have been captivating me with the work from their new album Constant Connection; today they’ve got a brand new single to share with you, furthering my infatuation. I love how the backbone of this tune seems to revolve around this fuzzy synth pulse buried in the mix; it rises sometimes as other instruments pull out, and other times it just seems to darken the edges of the notes. Rebecca Orchard’s vocal work in the song is heavy and purposeful, almost like some sort of mantra on repeat creating a musical texture almost as much as it’s providing lyrical insight. Ultimately, their work is about patience, immersing yourself in the magical present they’ve created for you. So go ahead, take a moment and just focus on this jam; Constant Connection is out via Fire Talk/Night School on April 22nd.

Erasers Announce Constant Connection

Leave a comment

Tired of pigeonholed music posts by me? Well, there’s really no definition or trinket box I could shovel Aussie duo Erasers into. Sure, their latest single, coinciding with the announcement of a new LP, has this cinematic quality, churning out these otherworldly pulses while layering them with heavy washes of electronica. But, the ghostly nature of the vocals effuses this sort of space-age sterility that’s equally unsettling and intoxicating. The whole tune is like this genre study of pop, and what it means to bend and mold the definition into something wholly your own. Stoked to hear the entirety of Constant Connection when it hits via Fire Talk on April 22nd.

Nice Trip Down Memory Lane with The Rainyard

Leave a comment

One of the few things I’ve grown to adore about the Internet is the abundance of bands that have reemerged over the last decade, bringing us music many of us thought was gone, or we were simply unaware of at the moment.  For me, I’ll admit to the latter when I discovered old Perth group, The Rainyard.  Oddly, I could see this band making huge waves today with their smooth jangling pop tunes, and I really enjoy the gruffness of the vocals, reminding me of a smoother Paul Westerberg. The following song comes from the group’s album, A Thousand Days, which you can pick up from the group by naming your price.
