Lightouts – “Want” (After over 2 years of anticipated build-up; releasing single after single, the Brooklyn based indie rock quartet has finally self-released their debut album, Want this week.   Their unique sound grafts dark romantic Cure-like post punk onto a wall of fuzzed out guitars with poppy melodies that bloom from the cracks within.  Catch the moody and catchy title track and first single below.) www.lightouts.com/        Download: media.audibletreats.com/Lightouts-Want.mp3 Caitlin Rose – “I Was Cruel” (The Nashville-based Country crooner released her highly-anticipated sophomore album, The Stand-In this week on ATO Records.   Her voice recalls classic ...

The mix of drama and beauty – “He’s blocking the view of my sanity,” Anna sings, and she really does sound like a woman on the edge – is remeniscent of FFS favourites Dark Dark Dark, while the influence of the likes of PJ Harvey and Bjork is also clear. Anna launches her EP at London’s Sebright Arms on Friday (March 8), with the official release on March 21 ...

I’ve always really admired the music Rainbow Chan makes, but I haven’t entirely understood it. Until now that is. As co-winner of the 2011 FBi Northern Lights Competition (alongside Tank">Oliver Tank), she visited the home of her musical idol Bjork (Rainbow Chan’s music bears a definite resemblance to her) to develop her sound. After gaining a cult following locally with the release of a number of singles, she seems to have taken another step-forward ...

It doesn’t take much to see where Sivu drew his inspiration from for his debut track “Better Man Than He.”  Partly because the music video accompanying the song depicts the London-based musician singing along under an actual MRI scanner, but also because of the chilling lyrics that serve as advice to a friend fighting through bouts of depression. While we can delve into the musician’s cerebral inner workings,the video is an allusion to ...

With the line-ups for Primavera , Summersonic and Coachella festivals already out there, it’s time to salivate over who will may (or have already actually confirmed) continue down here fore Australia’s premier winter festival. Thanks to Kat Hunter and Andrew Wade for their help in putting this ...

As I entered The Palace foyer, I realised that tonight’s show was going to be a first in a few ways for me. Not only was this my first Kyuss show, something that I’d written off as something I’d never get to witness, it was the first time I’d ever listened to them alone. Growing up, Kyuss was a communal ritual shared between friends. It was in the men’s room before the show, where 15 guys stood shoulder to shoulder smoking cigarettes and other rolled goods, no one actually using the room for it’s ...
