Best New Indie Songs (November 2016)

Music toys with time. Or, maybe songs reflect back that time is always toying with us. The world of a song takes hold of us like an eternity to be lost in, with its repetitions and variations, but ultimately, as with everything else, it has a start and then ends. And there’s no place to lose time like San Francisco, where there are no seasons and all the seasons occur within one day; where the fog takes the space where your plans might have been; where there’s insane wealth all around and everyone you know and love is hanging on at the periphery and making art on any given Tuesday night. About Glenn Donaldson’s new record, "The Town That Cursed Your Name," he says, "I realized as I was piecing it together that it's a song cycle about trying to live while also feeling called to make music." It’s a double life when it works and a deeper doubleness to mirror the Gemini nature of songs themselves. "The Town That Cursed Your Name" contemplates this problem with wryness, generosity, and the micro- and macroscopic realness Donaldson is known and loved for.

Whereas the 2022 collection "Summer at Land's End" was a softer, gauzier world, "The Town That Cursed Your Name" is heavier, with fuzzed lines running through. "Leave It All Behind" starts out with an amorphous whine but quickly launches into something both supremely melodic and buzzing at the edges. "Here Comes the Lunar Hand" is an impressionist geometry that seems to capture the album’s themes without telling you how. Lyrically, Donaldson embraces the earnestness of his heroes Paul Westerberg and Grant McLennan. Sonically, late '80s college rock is filtered through song-forward lo-fi acts like East River Pipe and House of Tomorrow-era Magnetic Fields. Like the images that accompany his releases – flowers and residential street scenes are pushed to the breaking point with color – Donaldson’s songs are at the same time dazzling and lurid, beautiful and burdened, not unlike life as a musician around here.

In the liner notes, Donaldson dedicates the record "to everyone who ever tried to start a band in the Bay." There will be many knowing smiles at his title "Too Late For An Early Grave." But, this dedication captures something else about the particular strain of sincerity that laces the city water supply – the front man around here is on stage under those lights evincing the fervor not of the pop star but of the biggest fan.

I never knew how much you meant to me
You were the ground I stood on
But oooh I battled for ages
Fought what I thought you were
Suddenly it's clear what I've wasted
I've shut you out and shut you off
Oooooh I ripped out the pages
Cut where I thought it would hurt

The darkness and the light
The morning and the night

I built up an altar to stop you
Stone upon stone in the sand
I laid you down like you were a killer
I stretched out a murderous hand

The darkness and the light
The morning and the night
My darkness and my light

And head over to Bandcamp for a free download: https://flickervertigo.bandcamp.com/track/life-in-bloom

Bursting with crunchy psychedelic textures, blissed out melodies fluttering overhead, explosive rhythms and intricate grooves whizzing by, plus subliminal nods to afrobeat, krautrock and jazz bubbling upon the horizon and melting into the kaleidoscopic haze, 'Life in Bloom' represents a total expansion of the sonic palette and marks the first time Flicker Vertigo have featured vocals

Beginning in early 2015, Flicker Vertigo is the brain child of Nathan Nicholson, recorded in the sleepy beachside town of Rosebud, Victoria two hours south of Melbourne. With an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of 60s psych rock, and an obsessive passion for idiosyncratic songwriting and dreamy, warped sounds, it's as much inspired by psychedelic guitar heroics as it is by the ocean and nature.

Waiting A Lifetime

Rings

Reason

Echovolt's brand new series	 of mini‐albums has opened them up to more experimental fare. Templeyard Studios kicked of the series and set the tune with "Messages From A Better Destiny". Now Australian producer Kane Ikin is to follow up with music influenced by science fiction, broken synthesizers and endless horizons. The Melbourne scene keeps on delivering. This time it brings a producer that will take you on a trip through outerspace. Kane Ikin is an experimental musician that will expand your mind by his creation of a six track soundscape. Equal parts narcotic and kinetic, "Sensory Memory” is built as an exploration in the genres and sounds formative  to Kane's sound. This	is what happens if	a young Patrick Cowley had met the L.I.E.S. crew.

PREMIERE : Kane Ikin - Packet Loss

Fresh new Bristol-based label @piff-records open their doors armed with a slew of gleaming, steaming hot wax. We got our mitts on the new To Adelaide EP featuring a compilation of fine Australian talent. Out highlight comes as "Jessica's Place", which offers nothing less than pure smouldering synth-house heaven from (fairly) newcomer @arthurmilesmusic.

Though still relatively unknown across the pond, Arthur has funnily enough already made his Boiler Room debut, as part of the Untzz 12 Inch showcase last April. With his newness on Piff, expect the distinct, dreamscape sound that fellow house producers down under have worked hard to establish (for more, see: Mall Grab and Francis Inferno Orchestra). A clean track with an ever-so-slightly futuristic sound that is sure to grab your attention — as it did with ours. Give it a spin.

"Jessica's Place" will be released as part of a compilation entitled To Adelaide EP on 12" in 21st November. There are only 500 copies available, so pre-order it quick!

Arthur Miles "Jessica's Place" - Boiler Room Debuts

A cut from the forthcoming Sleeping surfaces EP by Beyond Solutions (formally known as Javed de Costa) for This Thing available on limited USB Business Card & Digital formats November 1st. Pre-order from thisthing.bandcamp.com

Javed's a musician who has also worked with videos, events, and spatial occupations.

"...so much of the brutality of the world is obscured by aesthetics and utopianism. Everyone knows that the world is unsatisfying, but the ubiquitous promises and images of simplicity and satisfaction and utopia just become more seductive in the face of that, like it doesn't seem to matter if we know they are not real. I feel like I have to hold these two realities together, not just deny the impulse to utopianism. Sometimes engaging in utopianism seems more like survival than indulgence. it's been a necessary way of surviving anger at queerphobia and racism, to sublimate or channel that into intellectual or aestheticised versions of itself that have some force-fed utopian quality.'

I wanted to make this record sound mostly really clean, and like a finished product, but with an internal tension that upset that, upset the desirability of that finished product. A connection between these sanitised images and what they promise, and the harshness of what underlies them and the psychological trap of those promises – the insincerity of advertising, its long term preconscious effects, some way of surviving that..."

“Capricornia” is the first single from the eagerly anticipated second album from Allo Darlin’ entitled "Europe." Look for the single in February 2012 and the album later this spring.

Achingly personal, incredibly poignant and familiar all at once, Elizabeth Morris’ songwriting has deepened and developed since their debut, and while the upcoming album may have a more sombre feel to it “Capricornia” shows that they’ve lost none of their ability to create sophisticated, intelligent pop music with an uplifting, joyous feel. And for those of you wondering exactly what Capricornia is all about, Elizabeth explains:

“Capricornia is the area in Queensland that I'm from. It has imaginary state lines, roughly around the Tropic of Capricorn, which runs directly through my hometown. There's a nice 70s monument that marks the spot where the line passes, out on a lonely dirt road where all the kids learn how to drive. My family have lived in this area for over 6 generations but none of my generation remain. It’s a beautiful place.

Musically, when we first discussed the album with our producer, I suggested that the feel of Europe should be somewhere between 'A New England' by Kirsty MacColl and 'Cattle and Cane' by The Go-Betweens. I think this song is the closest to that.”



Allo Darlin' - Capricornia

Mermaidens - Satsuma

Wir haben unserem Lebensgefühl einen Song geschenkt. Dieses Gefühl wurde uns heimlich in die Wiege gelegt. Wir versuchen Euch bei jedem unserer Festivals genau diese Leidenschaft zu vermitteln. Wir hatten einfach dieses unbändige Verlangen, diesen Song für unser neues Album zu kreieren. Viel Spass.
