Perth – LP ‘Babes, Water, Waves’

Perth – ‘White Glasgow’ mp3

Listen to

I linked the opening track from Perth’s debut LP ‘Babes, Water, Waves’ but I would’ve been happy to post any track. There are really sweet sounds being made over in the WA and this is another fine example. It’s an ambient sound that develops into beats and then mild psych pop and back again. The vocals are distant and sparse and the feel is desolate and shoe gazey. ‘Boy’ is a whole other thing with its ambient ‘Aphex Twin’ influenced vibe that leads you into another dimension of Perth. This is a record to zone out to and probably one that will grow with multiple listens. I’m glad these guys finally got this released and let’s hope they tour the rest of the nation. Get the LP by paying whatever helps you sleep at night here – http://perth.bandcamp.com/

Young Magic – LP ‘Melts’

Stream the record here – Melt (2012) by Young Magic

Young Magic formed in 2010 when singer and producer Isaac Emmanuel left Australia to travel and make music, whilst fellow Melbourne ex-pat Michael Italia was doing the same thing, and they agreed to meet in New York. Together with Indonesian-born vocalist Melati Malay, they created their new LP ‘Melts’.

There is a tribal rhythm that guides you into this record. Founded through the experiences of globetrotting and produced with layered beats and soft distant vocals that seems to have an unwound Brooklyn feel, which makes sense as that’s where they’ve laid they backpacks. The tempo varies and beats break and pulse into a hypnotic sequence that evens finds some Washed Out moments midway in Jam Karet. Let’s hope these guys play some shows back home sometime soon.
