Daniel Lee Kendall – ‘Lost in the Moment’ (mp3)

Daniel Lee Kendall – ‘The Point in This’ (mp3)

Plenty of good music springing up from the Central Coast and you can add Daniel Lee Kendall to that list. ‘The Point in This’ imparts amiable pop electronica that sits nicely under Kendall’s weightless vocals. Nick Drake nostalgia with Postal Service charms on the side, this tune makes for easy summer listening.

If you’re not familiar with DLK’s other stuff, make sure you have a listen to ‘Lost in the Moment’. An incredibly chipper tune with some dapper string samples/xylo arragements in the background, and cheery whistles thrown in for good measure. This track is a good example of understated, contagious pop you’ll want to make friends with.

Daniel Lee Kendall’s debut EP ‘Lost in the Moment’ is out October 1st via Redcat Sounds/MGM.

For those who will loot, pillage and bite off someone’s arm for a freebie, this is good news. Bad news for those who can’t decode phonetics, but still good news in all!

Suited-up Melbourne natives The Basics are back with their self titled fourth album ‘/ðə’bæzɪtʃ/’ (pronounced, “the baz-itch”).

Since the guys agree with Claire Bowditch that the music is indeed, bigger than the money – they are flogging their new album for the gratuitous sum of nothing.

The follow up to 2009’s ‘Keep Your Friends Close’, this record was recorded in front of a live audience at Northcote’s Social Club earlier this year and was mixed at Abbey Road Studios in London.

The entire record will be available from FreeBasicsAlbum.com on the 20th of August.

Brilliant clip for ‘Trans Ending’ from Sydney/Newcastle outfit Seabellies, directed and produced by Tom Noakes (the brain behind The Scare’s ‘Could Be Bad’ clip).

The track is taken from their debut album ‘Limbo Lake’ which is being released in two days (20th Aug). Sounds promising.
