First taste of the upcoming Frowning Clouds album, 'Whereabouts'. It’s been a long time coming, but worth the wait. 
Combining all their favorite sounds, old and new, it’s definitely a departure from their previous full-length effort. 'Whereabouts' was recorded in Melbourne, Sydney, Madrid and Geelong late 2012. Fourteen songs of groovy, noodling beats and reverberated fake jazz wrapped in vivid artwork by Jason Galea (Zonk Vision).
The LP/CD will be available in Australia November 13 at all good record stores. First 100 copies of both the LP and CD will include a bonus disc filled up with their European tour cassette and singles B sides - available ONLY through mail-order! 
European press out through Saturno Recordings in Spain.
Keep an ear to the ground for album tour dates. Enjoy!

"The White Man Is Oppressor" is the first album of original music from Liam Kenny (Bitch Prefect, Peak Twins) - a half-hour diatribe on the political self using the medium of hard rock. Privilege, guilt, the personal and the patriarchal are discussed over music influenced by Aerosmith, Ramones and The Rolling Stones. Guitars and singing were recorded at home in solitude, with drums recorded later with the assistance of Lincoln Brown (Ghastly Spats, Housewives) and Tristan Price - Brown also mixed and mastered the record. The music is bass-heavy and repetitive, and should be enjoyed while contemplating one's place in an unacceptable world.

Out on cassette through Eternal Soundcheck in 2016.

Weird Omen defies the current trends of garage; or more exactly, builds upon its foundations to make something completely different out of it. The band have just served up a new 7" ('Girls Are Dancing On The Highway' b/w 'A Place I Want To Know') single to wet the thirsty whistles of the garage-punk intelligentsia; paving the way for a European tour behind their forthcoming full-length LP, "Surrealistic Feast" slated for release in March only on Dirty Water Records.

Les Big Byrd - "Snö-Golem"

Public Practice is reanimating the spirit of late ‘70s New York with their intoxicating  brand of no wave-tinged dark disco. The band came in hot with their punchy balance of punk, funk, and pop on the critically acclaimed Distance is a Mirror EP in 2018, paving the way for their highly anticipated freshman record. Now, after a year of intimate and experimental songwriting in their home studio, they have fleshed out the energetic, playfully oblique sound captured on their debut full-length Gentle Grip. 

Together, the foursome creates bold, slinky rhythms and groove-filled hooks that get under your skin and into your dancing shoes. The musicians’ unique chemistry and approach to songwriting is part of what makes their world so intriguing. Magnetic singer and lyricist Sam York and guitarist and principal sonic architect Vince McClelland, who were creative music partners for years prior to Public Practice’s formation, come to the table with an anarchic perspective that aims to eradicate creative barriers by challenging the very idea of what a song can be. Paradoxically, Drew Citron, on bass/vocals/synth, and drummer/producer Scott Rosenthal are uncannily adept at working within the framework of classic pop structures. But instead of clashing, these contrasting styles challenge and complement one another, resulting in an album full of spiraling tensions and unexpected turns.

Inspired by influential New York bands like Liquid Liquid and ESG, the foursome has a natural inclination toward music that sounds rough-hewn. “We were thinking about classic New York dance albums, and the thing that stuck out is that many sounded like they were recorded in less-than-ideal situations,” McClelland says. “There was always something about them that felt somewhat home-cooked.” McClelland has spent the past few years constructing a home studio with carefully chosen and occasionally hand-made equipment in an effort to recreate that “cobbled together” sound. As three quarters of Public Practice are engineers as well as instrumentalists, their collection of gear, combined with the recording rig McClelland built, allowed the band to record Gentle Grip largely at their own hybrid practice space/studio in Brooklyn. “Having a space and setup that is unique, you're always going to have more of a signature sound,” McClelland explains. They spent the better part of 2019 playing with sounds, riffing on McClelland’s demos, and recording a number of songs live to tape. Although a handful of sessions occurred in traditional recording studios, the band’s autonomy and ability to record themselves imbues their music with a sense of freedom and gives it a distinct character — a home-cooked sound that is purely Public Practice.
