Speed Week Return with Automate Me

Leave a comment

A few weeks ago we brought you the lead single from the forthcoming Speed Week LP, and now here we are with another growling bit of indie rock that solidifies the band’s place in my listening rotation. Musically, they shift into snapping rhythms and angular knife cuts on the guitar, providing the listener with a jittery sensation while Elliot Gee stalks the audience. The song’s swirling about you, but Gee keeps things centered, like the gravitational pull with an emphatic delivery that matches up with the modern world; I do love how he pulls a little bit of Johnny Rotten in the line “I want you to automate me!” Look for their Weak Speed LP on August 16th via Endless Recordings.

Brand New Track from Speed Week

Leave a comment

You can always count on the music scene in Melbourne to offer up something really tasty, as is the case with a brand new track from Speed Week, who’ve just announced a brand new record. When the bass line walks you into the track with its grumbling tones, it sets you up for these sharp knife cuts from the guitar that slice and stab through the lyrical lines; together, the sounds create this frantic nature that seems as harrowing as it is hook-laden. Speaking of the lyrics, they’re hitting at the mundane, and if I’m being honest, they feel very close to all the work Tim Darcy was dropping in Ought, offering a bit of public discourse in an observational manner. Look for their new Weak Speed LP on October 17th via Endless Recordings.
