The XX have dropped "Open Eyes", the first demo from the yet-to-be-named but currently in creation album due out this year.
Although the band have toted a more 'dancey' effort for the record, the cut has the overly stripped and bare-bones 'thing' more akin to crystalised/basic space/islands.
Anyway you look at it though, new xx = a terribly good thing!

The XX - Open Eyes (Demo)

The first single from the forthcoming album from the internationally renowned Melbourne band features guest vocals from Australian legend Tim Rogers of You am I.

With it’s infectious, bluesy feel and snaking guitar groove “I Got Burned” is a big step up for The Bamboos. When you add Tim Rogers’ singing in a way you’ve never heard him before, the result is a revelation.

The Bamboos new album ‘Medicine Man’ will be out mid year and will feature a whole host of notable international and local vocalists. The calibre of these guests is testament to the immense respect garnered by bandleader and songwriter, Lance Ferguson.

Keep an eye out for an amazing video for “I Got Burned” featuring Lance & Tim, directed by Kess Broekman-Dattner, who has made acclaimed videos for the likes of Clare Bowditch & Pez.

The Bamboos featuring Tim Rogers “I Got Burned” will be available digitally on March 16th

Sydney indie-artpop-rock powerhouse, Dappled Cities, will return this 3rd August with their highly-anticipated fourth album, ‘Lake Air’. The record constitutes the first release on HUB The Label: the new partnership between HUB Artist Services and Inertia.

The announcement follows the enormous success of Dappled Cities’ first single, “Run With The Wind”, which dominated radio airwaves and sponsored a colossal East Coast tour.

Conceived while living in London and three years in the making, ‘Lake Air’ is wild, breezy, thrilling, lofty and anything but ordinary. Shedding the imposing and complex sonic layers of their 2009 breakthrough ‘Zounds’, the new album showcases a sublime clarity with a sparser, loftier sound than ever before. Lyrics are sincere, arrangements are dizzying, and the results are revelatory.

Beginning the journey with the epic “Run With The Wind”, the album navigates between the heartfelt (“Love Connection”, "Work In The Mould", “Lake Air”) and the downright danceable (“Born At The Right Time”, “The Leopard”).  If ‘Zounds’ was the sound of a Dappled Cities growing up, then ‘Lake Air’ is the rediscovery of their youth, the reordering of their ambitions and their subsequent reflections on life, death and family.

“The journey of this album was long and difficult, but the music that came out of it is so full of joy and happiness” says vocalist, Tim Derricourt.

Forming in their teens, Dappled Cities have experienced a meteoric rise over the past decade, leading to three acclaimed full-length albums: 2004’s ‘A Smile’, 2006’s ‘Granddance’ and 2009’s ‘Zounds’. Amongst countless accolades, all three records earned Triple J’s coveted Feature Album spot, with the latter two gathering rave write-ups from critical institutions such as Pitchfork and Stereogum. At home, the band have previously toured with the likes of TV On The Radio, Death Cab For Cutie and LCD Soundsystem, and played countless festivals including Harvest, Laneway, Big Day Out andSplendour In The Grass.

'Lake Air' was recorded in various sessions across Paris, Los Angeles and Sydney and is the first album co-produced by the band themselves with young US Producer Jarrad Kritzstein. 'Lake Air' was mixed by Englishman Cenzo Townshend who has variously honed the sound for artists as diverse as Bloc Party, Florence + The Machine, Interpol and New Order.

“It's everything we've ever been,” says Derricourt. “It’s got experimentation, wildness and melody. It gives me the sense that I get every now and again that we could keep doing this for another 20 years – or more.”

Jen Cloher and Jo Syme (Big Scary)  interview each other on music, death and memory.

In October, we launched Doomsday Jukebox, an artist-curated playlist. It contains a selection of songs the artist would listen to on their last day on earth.  Jo Syme's end-of-the-world mixtape featured Jen Cloher’s song “Hold My Hand” among others. 

Listen to the Doomsday Jukebox playlists here: https://spoti.fi/2BoJxPx

We thought it would be great idea for Jen and Jo to meet up and broaden the conversation on memory, death and their link with music and shared experiences.

Slick electronic pop-soul outfit POLIÇA (pron. Pole-E-Sa) are to release their genre-bending debut album, ‘Give You The Ghost’, out this 19th October on POD through Inertia. Born from the Gayngs collective, producer Ryan Olsen’s latest project teams the tender vocals of Channy Leanagh with the electronic soundscapes and vocals of Mike Noyce from Bon Iver.  

Pulsating with life and raw emotion, ‘Give You The Ghost’ brandishes 11 perfectly formed auto-tuned songs that reform the fusion of pop and digitised R&B. Laced with ethereal synthetic manipulation, the record opens with the hypnotic sonic of first track ‘Amongster’, the two drummers immediately coming into full effect as it builds to a mass of machine gun-like beats, slinky bass and Channy’s wandering vocals.

Born out of the break-up of a recent relationship, the majority of ‘Give You The Ghost’ reflects on the difficulty of making peace; an exorcism via exciting new musical possibilities. “The recurring theme of this record is ‘what in the hell just happened and who in the hell am I anyways’” says Channy. This redemptive mood fuels the track ‘Dark Star’, released online late last year amidst a viral whirlwind. Backed by smooth brass breakdowns throughout and mid-tempo looping rhythms, it’s typical of POLIÇA’s often meditative content, heralding true the addictive refrain “Ain’t a man who can pull me down from my Dark Star”.

When Rolling Stone got Justin Vernon of Bon Iver to talk a little bit about who he'd like to collaborate with in the future, he said "I've been listening to this band Polica from Minneapolis a lot lately, They're the best band I've ever heard."

The Pod version of ‘Give You The Ghost’ will feature a bonus 5 track ‘Dark Star Remix EP’ both physically and digitally.

PRESS FOR ‘GIVE YOU THE GHOST’:
PITCHFORK “Fiona Apple fronting TV On The Radio... The entire album is an exceedingly seamless listen”

ROLLING STONE “The Sound Of heartbreak and celebration happening simultaneously” 
SPINNER “POLIÇA deals in a type of R&B inflected electronic music that defies explanation.... Music with this many synthetic textures and vocal treatments has rarely sounded so natural.” 

NYLON “A swirly combination of layered rhythms, some awesomely manipulated vocals and a dragged-out, slow motion feel....the perfect soundtrack to an almost-winter weekend” 

THE FADER “Ryan Olson and singer Channy Leanagh lead the group, Channy front and centre with her potently echoed voice riding over forward drums and driving bass” 

DROWNED IN SOUND  “It's the interpretation of a human voice that elevates this record beyond a curious obscurist record and makes the simmering (but never boiling over) electronica truly shimmer.”

THE GUARDIAN “Their best arrives mid-album, with the seductive, chiming single Lay Your Cards Out, temporarily collapsing the album's darker tensions in to an aching, cathartic slow jam. “

ZAN ROWE|JJJ ‘Catch Of the Day’ “The band have this wonderfully dark, warm sound and it's topped off by Leaneagh's vocals which have been artfully auto-tuned. ‘Dark Star’ will get under your skin. It's great.”

BON IVER|JUSTIN VERNON "They're the best band I've ever heard."
