Sunflower Bean - Easier Said

You can’t deny that there is something sorrowful behind the Bergen-based, lo-fi dream/psych pop trio Chain Wallet, and you can’t hide that their music suits the environment wherein it was created. It may be a cliché that it always rains in the band’s hometown, but when you play songs like «Faded Fight», it’s not difficult imagine the mist hanging heavily over their indie dystopian vision of Bergen. 

Even though feelings of nostalgia and melancholy lurk in the Scandinavian shadows, it’s not difficult to find indie-pop gold in its purest form, glittering below the heavy layers of synth and reverb.

The band say this about the song: In a blog, someone called our lyrics «nonsensical», and the mantra «can't you see – we're not making any sense at all» is a comment on this careless remark. It is not a love song but a portrayal of a romantic failure. It is perhaps the record’s most to-the-point pop song, with an uplifting chorus that is a stark contrast to the romantic failure. The main character has begun reaching for the moon, and we are giving the couple in the song two more weeks, maybe.

«Muted Colours», the first single from their forthcoming debut album, recieved more than 90.000 plays in just two weeks, and right now everything is pointing upwards for Chain Wallet. «Faded Fight» is available digitally from August 17, and their self titled album will be released on October 7.

Wild Nothing - Your Rabbit Feet

Jess Cornelius, the New Zealand-born, Australian-raised, and now Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter, has an intense desire for personal authenticity, which is reflected in her songs as they explore womanhood, relationships, ageing and existence, all delivered through her startling voice. 

“No Difference” was written in Melbourne before moving to Los Angeles while trying to navigate everything going on in her life. The song is part self-help mantra, part blind fatalism. Its video, directed by Thomas Hyland, was filmed in a bathroom in Melbourne and features friends and acquaintances of Cornelius. 

“We wanted to introduce the water element because of its cleansing/rebirthing properties, but water is also destructive, and the image of someone wearing a white suit in a full bathtub implies someone slightly unhinged,” says Cornelius. “We wanted to expand on this idea of rebirth by showing all these women having miniature moments of self-reckoning, which is what I feel people often do in the bathroom. We use the bathroom—and the bathroom mirror—to collect ourselves, to recover, to psych ourselves up, to escape, to self destruct, to castigate ourselves, to tally up our worth, to make deals with ourselves, to re-evaluate, to preen and primp and steel ourselves.”

After releasing three critically acclaimed albums with her Melbourne-based band Teeth & Tongue, Cornelius sought out a more personal project. She began performing and recording under her own name, releasing the “Nothing Is Lost” EP (Dot Dash/Remote Control) in 2017. “No Difference” is the first new music Cornelius has released since then.
