The ‘New Weird Australia, Essential Tremors’ compilation celebrates a new three-day festival of outsider artists, curated by Angus Andrew (LIARS). Held at Phoenix Central Park in Sydney (March 11-13 2022), ‘Essential Tremors’ features six distinct sessions of experimental music, sound art and ruthless noise that push into uncharted spaces

Featuring performances by Cindy Chen, Chunyin, Clare Cooper, Del Lumanta, ∑GG√E|N, Salllvage, Shoeb Ahmad, Wytchings and YL Hooi, ‘Essential Tremors’ is a bold celebration of artists whose work exists far from the well-travelled mainstream.

Available as a free download / stream from Bandcamp.

New Weird Australia, Essential Tremors | NWA023 (2022)

Featuring 28 unreleased tracks from experimental and underground Australian artists, 'New Weird Australia, Collapse Theories' emerges at the tail-end of the two-year pandemic, and takes a precise psychic snapshot of the bridge between then and now.

As artists endeavour to once again lift their heads and lift their hearts, the compilation asks them to direct their energies (light or dark; focused or fucked) into a soundtrack of the now. The result is part victory parade, part riot - a cathartic burst, a riotous exclamation, a primal scream.

'New Weird Australia, Collapse Theories' is the 29th New Weird Australia compilation released since 2009 and is available as a free download / stream from Bandcamp from Friday 18 March 2022.

All proceeds from this release will be donated to Bundjalung Community Flood Relief, providing direct financial support to Bundjalung Aboriginal communities affected by the devastating impacts of the March 2022 flood, the highest since colonial records began.

SLEEVE NOTES:
Brian Eno defined “ambience” as “atmosphere”, as “a surrounding influence: a tint”, and he created Ambient Music to induce “a space to think”. In the intervening forty-five years, the genre classified as ambient has instead generated an endless catalogue of anodyne day-spa sounds that run perilously close to the Muzak that he reacted against. 

  In Fragile States, we return to ambient’s origin story, to capture the atmospherics of our time, highlighting the values of “doubt and uncertainty” that were so present, and so prescient, in Eno’s work. Although he sought to make his ambient work “as ignorable as it is interesting”, we seek not to rescind the agency of sound. Our environments are too perilous to be ignored.  

Instead, Fragile States proposes a ‘conscious ambience’, one which is entirely in lock-step with our social and political malaise. Across 25 tracks, we find all manner of misgivings in our surrounding influences. The tint is now tainted, yet we move on nonetheless. This is ambient music for connection and purpose; a runway to resolution. Music for life support.

New Weird Australia, Fragile States | NWA022 (2022)

We are living in a liminal point in time; rummaging through the detritus of an aberrant year, with no real sense of what comes next. This album collects twenty-eight explorations of this idea. Experienced in one-sitting, it’s a work that moves through four parts: quiet, loud, broken and fixed.  Music of inquiry, of anger, of loss, of promise - and the space between all such things.

Available as a Name Your Price download from Bandcamp, with all proceeds donated to the Barpirdhila appeal, which supports Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander artists & community affected by COVID-19.
