A Vision Of Modern Love

New single from Australian artist and musician Ben Montero.

Montero operates in the rich widescreen soft rock tradition, updating the romantic classicism of golden era love songs with a psychedelic pop brush. Montero's music evokes the extended soundscapes and textures of 70s prog, the easy listening adult weirdness of Jimmy Webb and Burt Bacharach, and the sports arena pounding of vintage MOR rock - sometimes all in the space of one song. With an emphasis on clear vocals, soaring melodies, lush instrumentation and dreamy glam pomp, Montero ventures into gently surreal realms of romance, yearning, and wonder.

Vibrations (along with a new Montero album due early in 2018) is co-produced with Jay Watson of Pond/Gum/Tame Impala and Grammy Award winning engineer Riccardo Damian, and recorded at Mark Ronson's London studio.

SHOUSE - The Answer

Following on from some sunny house groover by The Possé, @Ken-Oath-Records turns away from the light and invites you into the dark with Adelaide’s @FuriousFrank, who dishes up a selection of psychedelic burners and formidable squelch. On this release Frank pays tribute to the many mushroom picking spots in the surrounding hills of his hometown, and does them justice with an assortment of broken beats, affected drum flourishes and paranoid synths. Over the course of the 5-tracker, Frank presents sounds for the frayed final edges of a night out dancing, where shadows start to play tricks on the mind and each remaining song poses more questions than answers.

Killer Bees

The birds spoke their own majestic language amongst the tall, tall trees. They were hidden away out of sight between the green shrubbery and the dusty leaves. Within the greenhouse they could not be disturbed by forces beyond the glass, no predator or villain was here to catch them up there amongst the blossoming swamp. The noise echoed in the chamber of light, the noise from outside was gone, wiped away by the silent tomb of the isolated space. 

Tambo's House have found a home on Vulcan Venti as the label prepares to release a four track EP packed with rhythmic influences from the East.

L Y R I C S 
(album out nov. 2017)
Its a stick up don't make it a murder
the junkie said to get further
Took my money took my boots
new kid, never Knew
pt to sd is normal, or should i say natural
why are you here they ask me
i don't know don't ask me

Beast of Burden cant explain
Her baby's born with wrong name
Papa was soldier with no grave
she ran from home never the same
Over the border she fled pain
Her baby's daddy found in the drain
Why are you here they asked her
She didn't know the answer

The baby's crying all day and night long
she sits there trying to sing him a song
its all too much memories come on
but she's...Carrying on....
The baby's crying all day and night long
she sits there trying to sing him a song
its all too much memories come on
but she's...Carrying on....

Romantic Notion

Morgan Wright with 006. A track written while nursing wounds from a motorbike accident in Vietnam that was finalised in Coburg, Victoria. Liquid Sword is spacial, sonorous and pounding. A formidable zone well worth navigating in your ears via headphone or in the depths of the club. Enjoy it for free and support the artist!
