I Remember

Double Negative - Vic Godard & Subway Sect

The Fauves 13th album Tropical Strength is a killer. All killer. TROPICAL STRENGTH. REcorded in Bali. Dave Graney and Clare Moore saw them playing songs from it on a triple bill with Brisbanes finest , Custard and The  Stress Of Leisure at a hall in a paddock outside Sale in regional Victoria in late 2024. The album never stops giving, in songs, sounds, arrangements, production and lyrics.
Dave Graney and Clare Moore journeyed to the Fauves compound on the Mornington Peninsula which is by the bay but very much on the far flung outer reaches of Melbourne. A good 90 minutes drive from the city. They all talked of their shared experiences of working within differing wings of Universal Records in Australia in the 90s, lyrics, war stories, production, recording in Bali as well as 90s Melbourne,  how bands stay together and how they form and split as well as life, death, the futility of existence and Bin Night.
