Civic / 'Taken By Force' Aus Exclusive Green Vinyl On the look out for a band with the unbridled ability to compress garage rock and punk right back down to their chaotic cores? Look no further than Melbourne band CIVIC!!! Attempting to find semblances of calm amongst the crumbling mess seems to be the overarching narrative within this record. Intertwining heavy emotions of anxious doom, anger and melancholia to represent those hard to articulate introspective thoughts, Taken By Force allows the duality of life to come through. With that being said this allows ample space for bombastic surfy fun in between the furious catharsis, something that many...

Cate Le Bon / Reward LP Vinyl Powerhouse vocals, thunderous keys and chaotic jams is what Cate Le Bon does best, quite the Reward for Le Bon fans when released back in 2019. Perfecting the balance between elegant technique and absurdist concepts is no easy task for an artist to accomplish. With poised softness and pointed sharpness Le Bon keeps her sound fresh, utilising her unabashed fearlessness when it comes to experimenting with the qualities of sound. I highly recommend this record if you have found yourself in a music rut.  Favourite Tracks: Daylight Matters, Home To You, Mother's Mother's Magazine. Tracklisting: A1 MiamiA2...

Jen Cloher / I Am the River, The River Is Me LP Vinyl Jen's done it again, with their long awaited release I Am The River, The River Is Me finally hitting the racks. A soulful record not in the traditional sense of the word but rather for its ability to hit you right in the spiritual centre. Cloher's vulnerable lyrical prowess coupled with triumphant yet melancholic hooks really gets one thinking about our collective navigation and innate connection to home/earth. If you're in need of some time to reconnect I suggest giving this a spin.  Favourite Tracks: My Witch, Being Human, Protest...

The Mattson 2 / Paradise LP Sea Cliff Vinyl Smooth, funky and downright cosmic would not go amiss when describing the Californian twins Jared and Jonathan Mattson of the Mattson 2. A psychedelic jazzy affair, Paradise is a cohesive selection of sound that is transportive to better days playing in the sun kissed park. Experts in harnessing lighter energies yet the brothers do not stray away from deeper lyrical progressions and tones opening up for a very well rounded experimental record. Favourite Track: Naima’s Dream, Darkness Surrender, Paradise. Tracklist: 1. Naima’s Dream2. Wavelength3. Darkness Surrender4. Essence5. Moonlight Motel6. Shell Beach7. Paradise8. Isela9.
