Acclaimed indigenous vocalist Emma Donovan and Melbourne rhythm combo The PutBacks come together to bring you Dawn, an LP of hard hitting and heartfelt soul songs telling stories of grief, struggle and redemption. Dawn is a gritty, uniquely Australian record, simultaneously classic and contemporary. The songwriting is in turns optimistic, angry and melancholic, and on occasions bruisingly honest. The music is fluid, live and raw, recorded in one room on eight channels of analog tape and the electric connection between Emma and the band comes through in every beat.

Emma grew up singing church songs with her maternal grandparents on the North coast of New South Wales. Her first secular gigs were singing in The Donovans, a band comprised of her mother and five uncles. With her mother, Emma sang country for years, and in her youth was a fixture at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, but she always yearned for the bluesier tones of her Father’s record collection, full of American artists like Laverne Baker and Etta James and Indigenous Australian artists like No Fixed Address and Archie Roach.

Years later, after touring and recording with many of the mainstays of Indigenous music and developing as a solo artist in her own right, Emma met members of The PutBacks, and finally she found a band with the gritty blues soaked tones she had been looking for. She also found, in PutBacks bassist Mick Meagher, a co-writer and collaborator on the the soul songs she had been waiting a lifetime to write and sing. The results are well worth the wait and hopefully, only mark the beginning of this oh-so-right collaboration.

and even if my sun don't shine
everything is fine
and even if my one desire leaves it all behind 
it's fine

and even if my sun don't shine
that would lead me to harnessing the light that is inside
i've been meaning to part with the facade
i've been dreaming of her it's sorta odd
cause i've been meaning to sort  what's on my mind
if i could dip within egyptian pools
to escape the grip of all these devastating fools
i'd take the trip at the flip of a coin, there's nothing to it
i think we red it wrong i guess that's why we went and blue it
the grass is greener theres a dream inside the bottles fluid
i take a sip the purple hits me and i'm living lucid
the sky is pink i cannot think i think i'm getting stupid
i reminisce to days of orange peels and letting cupid
determine whether or not to pull the arrow back and shoot it 
a simpler time for a simpler movement
have fun; don't worry: words i'm still using
take time; don't' hurry you can truly do it

even if my sun don't shine
everything is fine
and even if my one desire leaves it all behind 
it's fine

Bus In These Streets

Thundercat - 'Bus In These Streets'

PRE-ORDER 12" VINYL EP http://hopest.re/HS028VINYL

The best way to speed up a chemical reaction is to invite change and introduce an outside force: light, heat, movement. As The Cactus Channel know full well, the same goes with sound — introducing change compels a composition forward, as it rises, falls, peaks and boils. On their first release of 2017, vocalist Sam Cromack (Ball Park Music, My Own Pet Radio) is this catalyst for change, as the band collaborate with him on a full EP, introduced by lead single “Sorry Hills”.

As frenetic rhythms build only to fall away, and melodies loop, dive, and stutter, The Cactus Channel make music that both functions on and demands reaction. This collaborative EP treads a thin line between alt-soul and the best of indie pop, swimming in compelling atmospherics and deftly weaving Cromack’s rich, drawling vocal and disarming, meditative lyrics through the band’s typically intuitive arrangements. 

The Cactus Channel formed in high school, united by shared interests and a shared sense of humour — a love of soul music and the kind of hip hop, jazz, and alternative releases that spring from it, meant that from the beginning The Cactus Channel have prided themselves not just on eclecticism, but on the constant sharing of influences among their members. On this EP, the band venture into their second recorded project with a vocalist, exploring new influences and sonic territories.

Lyrically, “Sorry Hills” is heavy with a kind of guilty melancholy that belies the wordplay in its title — Cromack’s dark, introspective lyrics are accompanied by an instrumental that buzzes with a slight sense of paranoia: in the song’s instrumental bridge, the rhythm section simmers as horns let forth quiet squeals.

The band takes equal cues from hip hop instrumentals and golden era Soul — counting the sounds of  frequent hip hop collaborators BADBADNOTGOOD and the tight arrangement and production style of Stax Records as influences — as they build tracks that leave room for words to grow, breathe, and take focus, but never underestimate the power of beat and rhythm to build tension and release. 

Cromack’s voice is afforded a new palette in this project, as his vocals climb through horn arrangements and rhythm with unprecedented light and shade. 

“Sorry Hills” is out February 10th on all streaming services through HopeStreet Recordings, with the full 6-track EP out in April.

Tu Loco Loco Y Yo Tranquilo (Buscabulla Cover)

June is the month that marks three years since we lost Prince. I haven’t been shy about the influence Prince has had on me (you can read a short essay I wrote after his death here : https://kimbramusic.tumblr.com/post/143251121609/reflections-on-prince-the-beautiful-one ) and I wanted to pay tribute to that in some way. 

Before Prince passed I had been working on a cover on his lesser-known acoustic song titled ‘Dionne’. It originally appeared on the fourth disc of the Crystal Ball collection. The fourth disc was titled 'The Truth', the twenty-first studio album by Prince with 12 new acoustic songs.

Prince is just as monumental when he strips down to acoustic guitar with some minimal oddball production... the song 'Dionne' always stood out to me in so many ways and it had become a favorite of mine. 

I had begun to put together a very lo fi version of the song at my home studio, I didn’t necessarily intend to release it (it’s a little intimidating to ever attempt a Prince cover knowing you can never come close to the original) but recently I started to work on it again and decided today would be a perfect day to share it with you all. 

 I’ve deliberately kept it very rough around the edges to retain the initial spirit of minimalism and playfulness that Prince created the song with. 
I produced, recorded and mixed this at home in my studio.
Thankyou to Timon Martin for adding extra guitars, to Chris Tabron for encouraging me to finish this and release it, and finally thank you to Prince. I hope you enjoy it x

There will never be another....

Ps. Make sure to check out the original of 'Dionne'!!!! Here is a link to hear it : https://open.spotify.com/track/2QcdtGglhxepJIs0P37E5N
