After years of writing and performing, Ava Luna has refined their doo-wop soul meets punk-as-fuck aesthetic into something bold and glaringly defiant in today's indie music landscape. Following the release of their critically lauded first proper full-length Ice Level, the band spent an intense 2-week period writing and recording in upstate New York. Unlike previous efforts that were meticulously mapped out, the songs that would become Electric Balloon were "…a family effort." according to frontman Carlos Hernandez. For the new album, former Columbia composition student Hernandez relinquished the reins a bit, opting for a more organic approach to writing the material for what would become Electric Balloon. As Hernandez explains, it was a "…birth of confidence. I grew closer to my bandmates, began to see the roles of a family playing out. Ethan cooks dinner for all of us, we make lewd jokes, and then 'after-dinner storytelling' takes the form of playing music."

In the wake of Ice Level, Ava Luna's sharp edges have melted away just enough, making it easier to connect with their no-wave grooves and soaring harmonies. Distilling everything from James Chance and ESG to contemporaries like Dirty Projectors and Of Montreal, Ava Luna have landed on an aggressively unique sound that still manages to be accessible. Hernandez goes on to explain "…the stories and moments here are clearer, as in a conversation. The moment appears, you grab it with your hands, screw the lid on the mason jar. There was no tweaking, no second-guessing. Julian's mantra for the process: 'First thought best thought.'….And for my part, I sing my best about encounters, friendships, some moments beautiful and others painful. A bike shop manager in New Orleans, a derelict porch on Brighton Beach, a yellow sweater in a kitchen in the Catskills, a water duct in the New Mexico desert…"

~

sugar sugar with your coffee
cheesy kiss and boring tv
countdown till you guess what I got for you 
what you what you got is / call it a lazy heart
hey hey we could take a trip with the RV
sunshine and wine by the black sea
but you’d rather step into the breach, I know ohhhh so

what you what you what you really want
i can’t get you what you really want
stress the breaches right 

ride a bike on sunday morning 
to the lake chase me swimming
you’re so pushy on our passion
what you what you got is / call it a lazy heart
ice cream with mozzarella
or just get the hell out to China
but you’d rather step into the breach i know

hey girl would you hold a little pressure
here's one point about big love
no such thing you could make sure of
so honey cut me loose...

lyrics :

she’s a flower child
she’s my flower child

she knows a lot about poetry
she also knows a lot about trees
she reads the sun in the morning
and in my eyes in the evening  

she knows exactly what i want 
and i want her

but tell me why 
you have to go sometimes 
i want you forever my flower child

From the upcoming album "Private Energy" Out October 7th 2016.

Lyrics: 

Leopard garden
walk backwards 
like you with me before.

Hot dog let’s play games,
you catch me
I catch you
no love can cut our knife in two.

Somewhere in space,
someone else plays our game.
Inflatable face,
chameleon ways to reach you.
Alien days,
its the longest day till i seen you.
Psychic way,
wait till i heal you.

(healing humming melody)

No love,
no love,
no love,
can cut our knife in two.

No love,
no love,
no love,
can cut our knife in two.

No love,
no love,
no love,
can cut our knife in two.

No love,
no love,
no love,
can cut our knife in two.

And it’s a runaround runaround,
And it’s a runaround runaround,
And it’s a runaround runaround,
And it’s a runaround runaround,

And it’s a runaround runaround,
And it’s a runaround runaround,
And it’s a runaround runaround,
And it’s a runaround runaround,

No love,
no love,
no love,
can cut our knife in two.

No love,
no love,
no love,
can cut our knife in two.

No love,
no love,
no love,
can cut our knife in two.

No love,
no love,
no love,
can cut our knife in two.

Sydney's Retiree have returned with a second offering, 'Jan', out now on Plastic World. Following on from their first single 'Continental' released late last year, 'Jan' features the band's signature dreamy vocals and 80's like drum beats. Whilst maintaining an air of tropical warmth, the song's vocals, depict a story of loss. Contrasting the immersive, upbeat melody against the hidden emotional meaning see's Retiree delve further into a sonic exploration of electronic-pop music.

"Jan is a melancholy song in disguise. I started writing it on a train from Germany to Amsterdam on my way to my uncles funeral. The whole song is sort of equal parts reflective, sad and celebratory" – Retiree
