Where’s My Dystopia? by Australian outfit perth, comprises remixes of tracks from the band’s acclaimed second album What’s Your Utopia? What’s most startling about Where’s My Dystopia? is not only how beautifully it complements the original album, but also how well the remixes work together as an integrated whole. This is a reimagined journey through the musical landscape of the original album rather than a collection of disparate snapshots. Where’s My Dystopia? includes the single ‘Drank, Kites And Tomorrow’ remixed by GUM (Tame Impala and Pond’s Jay Watson) alongside radical reworkings by Seams, Filter Beds, Water Graves, Mei Saraswati, Valerio Cosi, Usurper of Modern Medicine, No. 9, Ghost Drums and Mental Powers.

perth’s second album What’s Your Utopia?, which forms the raw material for this new remix album, manages to meld psychedelic pop, folk-laced electronica and shoegaze into a beautifully cohesive statement – a tribute to the idea of a fond place, or utopia, quietly residing in ‘no place’, beyond ourselves. The band’s magic lies in their ability to refract the individual members’ unique sensibilities through an experimental lens; kaleidoscopic sound design is matched by the band’s songwriting dexterity throughout the album’s nine tracks.

Remix Artists: Filter Beds, Ghost Drums, GUM, Mei Saraswati, Mental Powers,  No. 9, Seams, Usurper of Modern Medicine, Valerio Cosi, Water Graves.

Collapsible Lung (Mei Saraswati Reimagining)

KANGAROO PAW

every minute
expands
endlessly
into oblivion
of uncertainty

every second
echoes in my chest
I’m losing u over time
to an emptiness

quick get out the way
of the ricochet
that back and forth 
between 
hopelessness n hope 
I’m bouncing off the walls
I’m losing my mind

every day 
my heart tells me the truth
how u deserved so much more
than what i gave to u

every atom
every part me
wants to heal ur pain
please forgive me
(i wanna heal ur pain)
please forgive me
im so sorry


i have a seed 
planted in my heart
underneath the dark
waiting there

i water it
and sing it songs
try to coax it out with the love i know
with ur love i know
i knew so well
sometimes it shows
when we look in
to each others
eyes and for a moment
i feel the sun
it feels so pure
it is the love
the love i know
the love i love
ur love i love

Rain on window via Contact Mics

u make me happy
can't be mistaken

i want to make u happy
can't be mistaken

every atom of u
radiates
radiates 

every fibre of u
radiates
radiates

and i don't know how 
to thank u
to thank u

let our words move slow
while our actions show
what it means
to have unity. 

ur smile comforts me like u wouldn't believe
sometimes it seems,
like im all alone 
watching trees move behind my window
each leaf is a moment
passing us by,
each conversation
escapes in the sky,
in our fleeting lifetime
we have met each other
u've brightened my day
and influenced the weather


U make me happy

I made an early start this morning, arriving at the Royal National Park by 5am. Still dark and quiet, I walked down Lady Carrington Drive and soon heard the distinctive call of a Powerful Owl (Ninox Strenua). As I set up my microphones, a Bassian Thrush (Zoothera lunulata) started singing it's autumn melody and this recording was the result.

Between 1:30 and 2:10, the owl's call changes. At this time, another owl, presumably the male, flew from a nearby tree to join it's mate.
