More New Music from The Middle East

Leave a comment

One of the bands that I heard a lot of people talking about, myself included, but then faded away was The Middle East.  Recently, I brought you news of a newer track, “Jesus Came to My Birthday Party,” and now there is another new one floating around out there that I’ve really been enjoying. This one’s sort of a uber-downtrodden affair, but the vocals really claw at your inner emotions, grabbing every little ounce out of you.  Both of these tracks will be featured on the band’s newest record, I Want That You Are Happy, which should be available via iTunes sometime soon, though it’s already out in Australia.  It’s full up of beautiful stuff, as I’m sure you’ll see.

New Music from The Middle East

While most of the Australian bands we’ve been following have had a fairly similar sound, that can’t be said for Townsville’s The Middle East.  They’ve been rather quiet since their EP came out in 2009, but there is hope on the horizon for fans.  They’ve got a new single, “Jesus Came to My Birthday Party,” and its absolutely fantastic.  It’s a low-key folk experiment from the start, but the song bursts forth about a minute into it, and from there you’re riding a magic carpet of soloing guitars and fuzz, all the way to the end.  If they can write such warm tracks filled with this kind of spirit, then I can’t wait to see what else they’ve got in store for us all in 2011.
