Lower Plenty 'Sister Sister'
£16.99
Melbourne's Lower Plenty share a new video for their second single "All The Young Men" off their forthcoming album 'Sister Sister' out next month on Bedroom Suck.
The video, filmed in a Brunswick backyard, debuted over at NOISEY who've dug in and described they're "reminded of Rum Sodomy and Lash era Pogues but this is a gentle reflection rather that a rowdy Irish jig.
'All the young men all the time, up and down my mind, off to work, off to war, who cares what for", sings Al as the band plays around him." Lower Plenty are comprised of some of Australia's most talented musicians.
The quartet are typically Australian in that they seem to exist on borrowed members, drawing together musicians responsible for bands like Total Control, The UV Race, Deaf Wish, The Focus and Dick Diver.
Unlike the harsh and direct approach of many of these outfits, Lower Plenty take the circular route, preferring to dwell in isolation and self-reflection, the result being some truly astonishing home recordings.
Lower Plenty is: Daniel Twomey (percussion), Jensen Tjhung (guitar + vocal), Sarah Heyward (percussion + vocal) and Al Montfort (guitar + vocal).

When was the last time you watched the sunset? Sunset Cities is a new musical project created to explore this and many other questions concerning one's own presence, spiritual essence, belief, love, and mindfulness while in rotation around the life light.Visit product page →
The group is comprised of two emcees and two producers; four human perspectives judging the light and the dark of life, maneuvering between the two while the fundamentals of hip-hop culture and psychedelic soul simmer on the coasts of South Australia.
Last year in Adelaide over a plate of Ethiopian food, MC's Nelson Dialect and Cazeaux O.S.L.O. crafted the basic principles for waxing poetic over two distinct sonic dimensions - a record made up of two sides, the first produced by Melbourne beatmaker Skomes (known for his work with Caseaux O.S.L.O under the moniker SO.Crates) and the second by Adelaide resident Alnitak Kid.
The record follows the cycle of the sun, no beginnings and no endings, just answers to this and many other questions using the voice, the drum and the body electric. When was the last time you watched the sunset?

Winter 2018 will see Perth's angelic Rabbit Island release her newest album; Deep in The Big . A culmination of the music Amber Fresh is known and adored for in her hometown, Perth/Fremantle, and beyond, Deep in The Big is a pure experience that will take listeners somewhere beautiful and new. Amber is an artist who cannot create anything un-beautiful.Visit product page →
In Deep in The Big she uses piano, guitar, organ, voice and a swag of effects to build a rippling, oceanic work. Part of the Perth/Fremantle psych-renaissance, but treading her own path, Rabbit Island shoots for her own constellation of sound, lands there, and doesn't look back.
Deep in The Big was recorded in Melbourne and Ocean Beach (Wurundjeri and Whadjuk land) in 2015 in the soft wooden rooms of Soundpark Studio and by the sea at producer Aden Senycia's Soft Machine studio.
Mastering was done at Poons Head with Rob Grant (Tame Impala, POND, Jeff Martin, Death Cab for Cutie, Melody's Echo Chamber). Aden Senycia recorded the album (Nathalie Pavlovic assisting) and mixed it with Amber.
Amber's friend and collaborator Nicholas Allbrook joins on guitar and voice in some tracks, and a few other friends (Tristan Parr, Benjamin Witt, Peter Bibby, Leonie Brialey) dip a sound, a conversation, or a cello in too.
Deep in The Big is healing music from Perth's angel of experimental lo-fi romantic spiritual songs, Amber Fresh.

Lehmann B. Smith has written many hundreds of songs in search of the good one'. Some of these attempts have made their way onto his six diverse and critically acclaimed albums, from The Big Dry'(2009) to Thank God For My Body'(2015).Visit product page →
Finding his greatest success as a sideman for bands like Totally Mild and Kes Band, Smith has often been described as a musician's musician, an undiscovered talent. He is a prodigious songwriter, laboriously notating album after album of unreleased material and storing these away in his home studio for a rainy day.
With this new album written, arranged, recorded and played almost entirely by himself at this studio (reportedly somewhere in Ascot Vale), Lehmann B. Smith is like a suburban version of Prince on the outskirts of an Australian city.
He is a mystery, an enigma, something of a genius; his music will resonate in your head for days, and should you be lucky enough to witness a live performance - save that story for your children. 'His compositions are elegant gossamer tapestries that engage and inspire.
The back-porch pathos is stunningly interwoven with haunting reverie and a morbid curiosity ' about the physical nature of the human body and all it's designed to control and contain.' - Brendan Telford, The Music

Visit product page →Through your ears, deep in your mind, down in your heart, in a way you never knew you wanted, Jaala will caress you and Jaala will entice you. Like the roots of a tree Jaala is ever growing, pruned only by themselves and never by the expectations of the public.
Like a pair of crappy old jeans you've unstitched and re-stitched, always working to make them the best goddam pair of jeans you ever imagined in your wild little noggin. Intricately decorated and lovingly crafted, Jaala's music comes from a place of deep focus and care.
In 2015 Jaala released their debut album Hard Hold'to critical acclaim both nationally and internationally. We could sit here talking about Pitchfork's glowing review or how Triple J featured the album but all that is in the past and Jaala are in the now. Google is available if you are curious about these achievements. Since the release of Hard Hold'they have transformed into a completely new animal, stylistically and literally.
The addition of Carolyn Schofield (synth) of Fia Fiell fame has moved the band towards a more haunting, dreamy experimental pop movement as opposed to the guitar shredding melt your face prog rock vibes of yesteryear.
Vocalist/guitarist Cosima pay and drummer/genius Maria Moles stand firm with their intricately woven telepathy. The ornate and ever flowing creativity is still ubiquitous, only it feels different now, rather than falling down a beautiful waterfall into a pit of demons that become your mates it's more like your feet have been confiscated at the same time as you've been given the ability to fly.
Cop a feel in April 2018 when their new album Joonya Spirit'is unleashed upon the world in all it's untouchable glory.
