Collarbones – ‘Hypothermia’ (mp3)

Listen to

The brand new track from Collarbones ft. Guerre. It’s uptempo by past standards, but still a great feeling to this one (those beats…holla 2001). Post millennia pillow talk that these guys put out always sounds good. The new album Die Young is released Friday 28 September through Two Bright Lakes/Remote Control. Get on (in and around) this.

Catch Collarbones launching the album here:

Friday 28 September – Liberty Social, Melbourne
Saturday 29 September – Brisbane Festival
Friday 5 October – Rocket Bar, Adelaide

WATCH: The Money Go Round – ‘Ya Ya Ya’

, , No Comment

This one doesn’t have anything to do with Wayne Coyne and his bandit of Orientals strapping cheeseburgers onto the loins of poor civilians (you know the one). Still reasonably flamboyant, in the better sense of the word though. It does take cues from the kind of Windows Media Player PC screensavers I spent my kidtimes dreaming into…BUT here lies a sonic ark of all the neon dolphins, heavy machinery + pyrotechnics of your dreams, lunging at you for your visual betterment.

Those thundering, swampy sounds are courtesy of awesome Sydney band The Money Go Round. Video by Oh Yeah Wow, who don’t really need an intro. Dig the Kasabian vibe happening, alongside the distraction that is this astral mindfck of a video. 1:58. LOOK, A NARWAL.

LISTEN: Little Casino – ‘Bow & Arrows’

, , No Comment

‘Bow & Arrows’

Little Casino are a 5 piece who hail from Brisbane and Byron Bay. This tune is the first taste of Little Casino’s EP, due out late 2012. There’s light and shade in the soft atmospheric breaks and the frantic build up towards the end of ‘Bows & Arrows’. Tumbling out of your speakers all upbeat drums and plaintive vocals, this is a definite catchy track with a shiny pop song sheen.

Donny Benet – ‘Treat Yourself’

Donny Benet – ‘Treat Yourself’

Listen to

‘Treat Yourself’ is taken from the brand spanking new Donny Benet record ‘Electric Love‘, due out September 7. It’s a time-warp record that takes you back to shiny jackets, leg warmers, fluoro and shoulder pads. ‘Electric Love’ is a sexy production from a man that lives in a discofied world. I love the urgency in the fast pace keys and clap synth. Donny Benet transcends any good time soundtrack by channelling John Hughes with a seedy Kings Cross style story telling. Now before you go getting physical over these hip disco beats, you should also note he is doing a ‘Dinner & Show’ thang at Sydney’s GoodGod Danceteria on launch day! Wow. So if you wanna ‘Treat Yo Self’. Get down on it. It’ll look something like this:

Guerre – ‘Ali’ (mp3)

Listen to

Another brilliant, clean slated jam from one of our faves. Matt has given this boy so much love (love, love, love) on this blog in the past, so couldn’t resist. ‘Ali’ is track one of split 12″ – Apathy/Revels, also featuring fellow Sydney tastemaker Nakagin.

Apathy/Revels is out Sep 1st through Finer Things. 82% chance of getting laid if you buy this for your dude/lady friend.

Listen and pre-order here.

LISTEN: Pony Face – ‘Silver Tongue’

, , No Comment

 

Pony Face have just released their second album, Hypnotised. ‘Silver Tongue’ is the first single from the record and gives you a good feel for the broody-rock sound they have nailed on the LP. This single has been getting some love around the traps but we haven’t posted it yet so… well, now we have. More importantly though, the record sounds really good. The band’s new album was produced by Casey Rice who did the last Dirty Three record and much of the same atmospheric layering remains here. It’s the slow building Interpol vibe that draws you in and Pony Face have the depth to hold your interest.

EXCLUSIVE: We All Want To – ‘Ramp Up The Bleeding’

, , No Comment

A little video exclusive we’ve plucked from Brisbane’s We All Want To for their track ‘Ramp Up The Bleeding’.

The band have spent the last year working on their latest record Come Up Invisible (You can hear a sampler of their upcoming album below).

It’s indie-pop integrity how they used to make it, y’know. Tim Steward lends his distinct Screamfeeder flavour to ‘Ramp Up The Bleeding’, but there’s something to be said for Skye Staniford’s vocals which come up trumps in pared down moments. Either way, both types co-exist so well in their own melodic realm here. Definite New Pornographers and Lucksmiths vibes happening here…really recommend hearing this album in full.

Tour dates after the jump.
