| Shisd - Charcoal 26th May Electronic, Experimental, Pop | 16/07/2012 |
Shisd is 19-year-old, Canberra artist Felix Idle - producing long-form vocal pop music, based around the processing of field recordings, samples and the sparse use of synthesizers.
A passion for pop of the 1960s and an intuitive ear for texture and harmony inform this carefully constructed EP. Delicate vocal work (mostly courtesy of Shisd's brother, Cape North) is underpinned by complex arrangements. Simultaneously spacious and claustrophobic, this is what laptop music would have sounded like in 1967.
| Regional Curse - Miracle Cure Electronic, Experimental | 16/07/2012 |
Regional Curse is the solo project of Stacey Wilson (Rites Wild, Terrible Truths, Comfort Zones) from Melbourne.
Taken from the album ‘Natural Living’ - recorded by Wilson directly after leaving her home town of Adelaide to move to Melbourne. Refracted through pervasive themes of ascension and natural progression, ‘Natural Living’ marks a shift for Wilson into territories occupied by low-toned electronic synth and spacious drum work.
| Peon - No Second Acts Electronic, Atmospheric, Experimental, Instrumental | 02/07/2012 |
Peon’s third release, Inter Alia, sees Melbourne’s drumming duo recording with Lloyd Swanton on production and bass duties and the master of the mixing desk, Casey Rice, ensuring the sonics.
Beautiful improvised ballad with a dub groove thing going on. A feeling of surrender sets up the torrential music that follows on the album.
Other tracks by Peon: Distension - Io
