Ben Howard – Fremantle Arts Centre

Posted on June 10, 2015 by emiliemarielle • Leave a comment

Jun 3rd 2015 | Emilie Taylor The open green of Fremantle Arts Centre looked like a miniature fair with food stands and fairy lights. The smell of English pies wafted through the cool air. “Hello Fremantle!” hollered opener, Israel Cannan. This was the first show in two years for the NSW singer, who met Howard … Continue reading →

Anna O – Amplifier Bar

Posted on May 29, 2015 by emiliemarielle • Leave a comment

It was a night of farewells as indie electronic act, Anna O, moving on to greener pastures, played a send-off Perth show before taking Melbourne by storm. Bri Clark was a stunning opener. She had an unassuming demeanor and gentle personality for such a powerful voice. Some of her originals included Shiver, with vocals that blazed … Continue reading →

If there were ever an EP designed to bring you to a new level of chill, this would be the one. Flower Drums have released something powerful, yet not abrasive. These Aussie locals feature entrancement, harmonies and moody electronica on their new independent release. If any of that appeals to you, dare to experience the … Continue reading →

They Might Be Giants – Glean

Posted on April 22, 2015 by emiliemarielle • Leave a comment

The veteran rockers’ 17th studio album isn’t likely to shake any cores, but it will put a smile on your face. Opening track, Erase, is super cool and lively. Music Jail, Pt. 1 & 2 is pretty quirky and abstract, and perhaps only for avid fans, while songs to listen out for are Madam, I … Continue reading →

The Wombats – Glitterbug

Posted on April 16, 2015 by emiliemarielle • Leave a comment

The menacing marsupials are at it again. Now well into the electro pop genre, Glitterbug guarantees the same techno beats that previous album, This Modern Glitch provided, but perhaps this needs more time to grow on you. Needless to say, there is a fever pitch that comes with these British brutes and the lyrical skill … Continue reading →

British India – Nothing Touches Me

Posted on March 29, 2015 by emiliemarielle • Leave a comment

The Melbourne group’s new album is reminiscent of early Wombats and Brit pop of the early ‘00s – there’s something so lovable about it. Spider Chords features the line, “She is lighter than a feather, I am heavier than lead,” and this is only the beginning of the prolific lyrics that lead vocalist, Declan Melia, … Continue reading →

The Vanns – Scattered by Sundown

Posted on March 8, 2015 by emiliemarielle • Leave a comment

This EP is marvellous and is like an indie dream. These NSW small town guys have really nailed a beautiful release. Every song from this five-track opens with something dynamic: a classic drum beat, a muted guitar or sexy vocals from Jimmy Vann himself. Maybe their sound isn’t original – they certainly aren’t the first … Continue reading →

Daisyhead – The Smallest Light

Posted on March 8, 2015 by emiliemarielle • Leave a comment

When it comes to Daisyhead, they won’t make it complicated. They are melodic rock with excellent spouts of half time, and yeah, it’s a little emo. If you listened to A Day To Remember, or any of those pop-punk favourites from 2005, you will enjoy The Smallest Light. In Lacking Basis vocalist Michael Roe sings … Continue reading →

Sonny & the Sunsets – Talent Night at the Ashram

Posted on February 18, 2015 by emiliemarielle • Leave a comment

True to form, this new album is pretty mellow. The opening track, The Application, is really fun and reminiscent of The Beach Boys. Following that, however, are less captivating tracks. Even so, there’s nothing on the album to offend the ears. It’s perhaps just their style. The title track is whimsical and completely characteristic in … Continue reading →
