The budding romance between the legendary D.I.Y. forefather R. Stevie Moore and post-everything artkickers Civil Civic has finally gotten physical and produced a beautiful baby.

"When You Gonna Find Me A Wife?" is the first collaboration for Civil Civic, it is not however the first collaboration for R Stevie who has collaborated with a slew of respectable artists including Ariel Pink, MGMT, Jason Falkner and Mike Watt.

With all the CC trademark melodic twists and hammering rhythms with the one and only R Stevie Moore on mic (demanding a glitzy wedding!) it's a marriage that's built for thrills, fast nights and possibly a very messy divorce plastered all over the tabloids.

Say "I do".

The return of https://soundcloud.com/civilcivic will be a relief to many who have waited patiently since 2011’s epic debut album, RULES. The electronic soundscape masters return with an explosive new single, THE HUNT today, the first track to be taken from their new album scheduled for release this Autumn.

Concocted from the intrinsic production skills of Aaron Cupples and Benjamin Green, the Melbourne duo have spent the last four years honing their special recipe of colourful instrumentals from their bases in London and Barcelona, respectively. This first offering is a taste of what’s to come, a smorgasbord of aural delicacies made to take the listener on an unforgettable journey.

THE HUNT replicates the sensation of the day after a night of sensory (and chemically) overloaded hedonism. If you feel tumble-dried after this tune then it’s entirely deliberate. It’s supposed to be exhausting: “You wake up late afternoon, your hair a mess,” offers Aaron of its origins. “You smell like a bin. Breakfast is the rest of the falafel from the night before. You're volatile, energised, funny as fuck. You don’t give a single shit what others think of you.” 

The extended outro meanwhile is intended to mock both good taste and the laws of physics, something that comes naturally to a band that ooze majestic futurist prog, epic math-rock, electro-goth, post-rock, glacier-sized chillwave or just simply, ‘post-everything’.

Like a celestial shaft of aural light beamed from unknown futures or a diamond-cutting laser first illuminating and then slicing to shreds the darkest corners of the subconscious, CIVIL CIVIC create a musical experience that is totally immersive. Like musical synaesthesia, theirs is a visceral experience to be smelled, tasted, explored, survived. They sound like no other.

Experimental Melbourne-spawned duo, https://soundcloud.com/civilcivic have shared ‘THE MIRROR’. The second track to be revealed from their forthcoming second album, THE TEST, due for release October 14 via Gross Domestic Product.

“THE MIRROR is both chilly and cosmic,” explains bassist Benjamin Green. “There are glassy synth arpeggios, but the Cindy Lauper beat and the fuzz bass end up getting voted King and Queen of the prom and everyone cries, before a hysterical, slow-burning noise volcano erupts and chaos ensues. It’s perfectly alarming.”

------ CIVIL CIVIC's 5P Mixxx ------- 

---Punk + Post-Punk + Power Pop ---


There were many musical wars being waged as the seventies got dragged into the eighties, but many people have never even heard of TV Smith and some think that 1979 is just another number.

Well fuck that. Here is a collection of killer 5P (punk/post-punk/power-pop) that represents the disco years through the ears of the Civil Civic boys.

Each track has been lovingly re-mixed and ultra-boosted (using the CC's very own top-secret sound-good machine "The Box") then hand-stitched together into a brutal 44:11 minutes of 5P goodness that will punch the little cones out of your laptop speakers and make you smash up all of your own stuff.
