I've received a number of messages in recent weeks regarding fellow SoundCloud users having their remixes of Somebody That I Used To Know removed from SoundCloud due to copyright infringement. My personal position is that I don't try to block unofficial remixes posted for online streaming providing they're posted for purely creative reasons and are not exploited commercially (eg: monetized on YouTube).

Under current laws the formal consent of the label and publisher/s is required for any use along these lines however, and as much as I would like to help everyone out to attain this consent, there are simply too many requests relating to remixes of this particular song and too many rights holders involved for me or my reps to assist with Soundcloud keeping them up.

Thanks for your understanding

Demons EP - http://bit.ly/1FpGAuq

Technical riffs, intricate time signatures, heart-warming harmonies and sonic beauty; GENERALDISARRAY are none of these things, but they do hope to bring a little sunshine into your (night) life

Salmonella Devil is the latest offering from the Sydney band; a simple love tale about a man and a dodgy chicken burger coupled with 24 hours of hell, summed up perfectly in a tight 96 seconds.

These four have been jamming together on and off and in various projects since they were 14 years old. Dale spent a few years living in South Africa, Max went to live in Mexico, Sam went to study in Israel and Izzy went to hack lumber and build longboats (probably). The eclectic mix and influences in their life over the past few years have all come together as GENERALDISARRAY – a little older, a little wiser, and (probably) a shit ton better.

Now they’re back and ready to hit the high(road)way and release their brand spankin’ new EP which ranges from short and fast garage-ey punk to slow, stompy and dirty Waits-esque swagger.

From music to theatre, gaming to comedy, podcasting to design, Montaigne defies the limitations often placed on artists, embracing a life of creative exploration. Their work is not constrained by medium, instead finding freedom in crossing boundaries and merging art forms, a reflection of the solace they found in vibrant worlds and stories throughout their childhood.

Their career is a testament to this creative polymathy. Montaigne’s collaborations with icons like David Byrne, their representation of Australia in Eurovision, multiple ARIA awards, and a recent Grammy nomination for Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical showcase the breadth of their talent. These accolades merely scratch the surface of Montaigne’s expansive artistic world, a small peek at the depth of their creativity.

At the heart of Montaigne’s career is a dedication to complex, multi-faceted expression. They embody a DIY ethos, one that sees them unafraid to forge their own path in an industry often restrictive of individuality. This drive for independence extends beyond the music industry, deeply influencing their entire creative practice. Though highly collaborative, Montaigne has honed their production skills, unlocking a new medium to materialise the nuances of their ideas.

Montaigne’s creative work is both deeply personal and outwardly adventurous, rooted in their lived experience and their unique worldview. Their artistry is as much a reflection of their personal journey, grappling with estrangement, survival, and the nuances of human relationships, as it is an ode to the mediums that shaped them. It is this rich intersection of introspection and external storytelling that defines Montaigne’s career. Their music and art pop sensibility is playful yet profound, marked by colourful instrumentation, adventurous melodies, and a vocal range that is both theatrical and deeply emotional. Their work, in essence, is a journey. One that invites listeners into a world where the lines between reality and fantasy blur, and where every note is an exploration of identity, resilience, and the human condition.

Via platforms like Discord, YouTube, and Twitch, along with their newly launched 'Tank Time with Montaigne' podcast, featuring conversations with artists like Ninajirachi, Ben Lee, and Donatachi, and their innovative 'Beautiful Trial Show' where artists and comedians test new material with select fans, Montaigne’s deep dedication to their community creates a feedback loop that fuels their passion and sparks new creative projects.

Montaigne’s career is a testament to their unwavering commitment to creativity in all its forms, an artist who refuses to be boxed in, finding beauty in the unknown and embracing the complexity of every step along the way.
