The Low-fi start was a result of playing one of the early mixes of the song through a car stereo and recording it with a zoom mic whist driving up the Calder highway.The song ends with a bit of 'noise-folk' - there is a bit of radio and other commentary in the mix. The title refers to a small town in upstate New York. 

South Troy Against The World

We the Kings

Track from Archers debut Album
Old time sing song man - Out through Pound Records 

Archer - Fire

This song has been a staple of my live sets for 18 months - even when I had no lyrics for it. I've put this version together to enter into the Vanda and Young songwriting competition, recording the bulk of the piano, guitar, percussion (thanks Chris Windley) vocals, and producing it in the last week. I found this competition a perfect chance to record a tight version of the song with the spoken word lyrics I'd written for it. 

*This is a 5 minute edit of the song, and my 'DreamWalker' EP slated for December may contain an extended (and perhaps quite different) version.

We Need Each Other

01 Hugo & Treats - Stage

The Seed

Stumble into the world according to Skyscraper Stan and the Commission Flats - a hazy, sweat-soaked dream of sunburnt country towns, dirty inner-city intersections and hot, muggy bedrooms. Skyscraper Stan’s keenly observant lyricism has garnered him a reputation as an exciting songwriter-to-watch, while the Commission Flats offer magnetic, world-class performances with a syrupy sonic palate lending gravity and menace to every hook. A must-listen for fans of Nick Cave, Timber Timbre, Father John Misty, Old Crow Medicine Show and M. Ward.

The Aussie duo, Staunch, has returned full of funk with a massive album to get deep into the middle of a glitch hop movement, threading the needle with plenty of bass and grit. Their album is called "Dissecting the Groove," an experience full of intense jams and futuristic sounds to complement their reputation for outstanding music - using heavy wobbles that weave in and out of a track like a missile-seeking animal.

"Fight Milk" starts things off with soul and retro funk from another dimension. Reaching into the depths with an epic guitar solo, this tune has plenty of spice and melty transitions to satisfy any fan. "Racist Monday" has plenty of impressive crashes and interesting breaks, using the most clever and simple sounds to embark on a truly fantastic ride into glitchy-ness. "Grind Stone" is a hip-hop anthem style, middle-finger to the haters. "Shit Stiffy" gears up for more galactic melting, while "Trimmsy" takes things into a downtempo, dark abyss of fresh electro and funk. With help from Kash and Beat Fatigue, things get really interesting with two magnificent tracks called "Alpha Mode" and "Low Down."
Things calm down into a magnificent state of unconscious glitch with the final two tracks, "Night Bus" and "Switch Foot." Grab this album now!!

Purchase!

That Gold Street Sound is a Motown Funk, Rock and Soul band from Melbourne who will make you shake your tail feather. It is ‘Devil’s Music’ with heavenly vocals that will make you wanna dance, and put you in the mood for romance. This is Funk, but not the type of Funk where songs and chorus’ take a back seat. It is Motown with a modern twist. It is old fashioned Soul with the influence of Rock and Roll. It is the most fun you can have with your pant’s on…until you dance your pants off! 

"The full funk experience... super fresh funky goodness" Chris Gill - Get Down, PBS FM

"A modern twist on Motown Funk" Alex Mann - The Thousands

"...these sexy cats will have you twisting and shaking to their Motown-inspired numbers. If Clairy Browne and the Bangin’ Rackettes do it for you and you’re often seen getting silly to Soul in the Basement at Cherry Bar on a Thursday night then ... check out this local Melbourne act." Steff Italia - The Ripe
