Ausmuteants - Order Of Operation
112GONE
Release Date: September 30, 2014

AUSMUTEANTS started life in late 2011 in Geelong by Jake Robertson and Billy Gardner. Both had been playing since teenagers in trad garage bands The Frowning Clouds (Jake) and The Living Eyes (Billy). Being good looking rebels who play by their own rules, they cracked the shits, broke loose with just a synth and drums and in early 2012, knocked out the 'Split Personalities' tape. By the time that was out they'd added Melbourne loose-unit Marc Dean on bass, and soon after, ex-Canberran hardcore non-guitarist Shaun Connor on guitar.

Their second album 'Amusements' (note: not self-titled) came from this fledgling time as a full band, with a heavy dose of the duo’s songs. Since the runaway international success of that record and playing every second weekend in Melbourne, they’re rocked-out full-tilt with all four members writing and singing new songs. 23 of these were recorded live with vocal overdubs in the basement of an old Geelong ice cream factory by Mikey Young, then mixed and mastered in his idyllic coastal abode. Again the band and their Australian label Aarght Records strained the friendship with song picks, agreeing on 13 to make up 'Order of Operation'.

This record is better than Amusements any way you cut it: songs, lyrics, delivery and sound. The album opens up with Shaun’s forehead- and thigh-slapping musical and lyrical debut, "Freedom of Information". His girlfriend is suffering the indignity with panache. From there, songs range from balls-to-the-wall punkers ("Felix Tried to Kill Himself"; "Boiling Point"), well-considered workouts ("Family Time"; "Tunnel Vision") and unguarded tenderness ("Wrong"; "Looney Bin").

It's not just the band and label singing the album’s praises; it's the people who couldn't stand their juvenile bullshit before. They’ve ditched the toilet humour, got nasty and written songs about other people’s problems, terrible bands, fighting crime and trading sex for porn. Mikey after a vocal take: “You deserve to be bashed for that” (the song’s on the record; you guess which one).

'Order of Operation' is now their defining moment. If you don't like this record, you pretty much won't ever like Ausmuteants.

Ausmuteants "Boiling Point" // 'Order Of Operation' Out Now On Goner Records

Fall Over

Blue

Forming in Belfast in January 2009 initially as a two-piece, Cathal Cully and Neil Brogan booked their first gig as Girls Names before they'd even played together. Expanding to a three piece some months later with the addition of Claire Miskimmin on bass, the band have effortlessly refined their own personal take on the early/mid eighties shadow world of Black Tambourine, Felt and the Sound of Young Scotland. Although still in their infancy, Girls Names have traced their development through a series of releases, having already issued a 12" (Captured Tracks), an 8 track mini album (Tough Love) and a split 7" with San Francisco's Brilliant Colors (Slumberland). From humble beginnings there live show has also been dramatically improved, helped in part by sharing stages with Times New Viking, Dum Dum Girls and Abe Vigoda, amongst others. 

With their identity firmly established, debut album "Dead To Me" is the next step forward that delivers on the promise shown on previous releases. The song writing is more defined and the production values have been sharpened, representing a definitive break from the nonsensical lo-fi tag that has lazily followed them around by association. 

Recording for "Dead To Me" began in the last half of 2010, the band entering the studio with the conscious desire to make an old-fashioned style pop album, albeit one with a perverse haunted feel. As intended, the haunted aspect is brought to the fore. The ten tracks that comprise "Dead To Me" are possessed with a warm, classic quality derived second hand from the 60s influenced bands of the 80s. Songs such as "When You Cry", "Bury Me" and "I Lose" are characterized by a timeless melodicism that's long been the reserve of pop classicists from the Walker Brothers to Orange Juice, while other elements of the record, such as "Séance on a Wet Afternoon," reveal a perverse undercurrent.

And in an oblique manner, ghosts are also integral to the lyrical themes of the record. Whoever the inferred protagonist in the album title is, their specter lingers throughout "Dead To Me," hiding in the narrative arcs that run consistently throughout. Masked under the gloom of reverb-heavy guitars are subdued bittersweet vignettes charged on bloody nostalgia, bad romance and a fascination with the occult.

Despite their influences and immaculate taste, "Dead To Me"	 remains a distinctive listen precisely because of where it was conceived. The grey contours of Belfast streets indelibly shade the mellifluous guitar tones and spooked vocals. As such, for all the band's backwards gazing, there's a feeling that this album couldn't have been made anywhere but Belfast right now.
