King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard – ‘Black Tooth’ (mp3)

A killer new track from King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (try saying that five times). Hailing from Anglesea/Melbs these guys have spent the last few months putting the touches on their debut EP Willoughby’s Beach.

‘Black Tooth’ may begin with a frenzied assault of guitars, but after a quick tempo change it comes up swinging with the kind of negligence King Khan’s discipleship would thrust in your face.

To mark the release of ‘Black Tooth’ King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard will be touring their surf sludge around the East Coast (see after the jump).

The band will also be playing a show with DZ Deathrays on the 18th of June at Ding Dong, so if you’re in Melbourne remember to get down.

Olympic Ayres – ‘Daylight’ (Animal Status remix) (mp3)

Loving the new remix of Olympic Ayres tune ‘Daylight’ by NY’s Animal Status at the moment.

The track has been toned down a notch, with some Bag Raiders-type tambourine samples standing in for the jungle vibe of the original. That being said, it’s still remains a feel-good track at best.

Fit for radio, fit for a serious workout on my playlist and a track I’ll be holding dear to before the general retail collective decides to rotate this to exhaustion in their stores. Good stuff.

The Grates are back with one less member, a slight tweak to their sound and have ditched the gold bodysuits for some monochromatic seriousness here. While the new stuff is a bit more toned down, it’s hard to expect anything too sensible from these guys.

‘Secret Rituals’ is out June 17th.
