Erasers – ‘Safe Sound’

Erasers – ‘Safe Sound’ (mp3)

Quite often, the term ‘minimalist’ is less of a descriptor of compositional style, than it is a euphemism for ‘shit boring music’. Perth’s Erasers have given themselves a head-start in the right direction with clean production and a solid groove and motif to base the song on. The female vocals annoyed me a little, but by the time they started, I was deep enough into the drone of the song to accept and forgive them.

They’re playing Sydney and Melbourne in the next fortnight or so – check their MySpace for details.
