@poetsofelan: Oh man that is an awesome thing to say! Not that we were either, but all audio-documents from the time suggest good things...

Fabulous Diamonds - Lothario

CHOICE - ALWAYS IN DANGER

The new single by Perth-based multi-instrumental pop sextet Apricot Rail, taken from their forthcoming sophomore album Quarrels (25th Feb 2013). 

‘Basket Press’ opens Apricot Rail’s long-awaited sophomore album Quarrels in fine style. Led by the band’s unmistakably chiming guitars and overlaid with gorgeous woodwinds, the song’s melodic weave soon builds into a triumphant final chapter. The track is a wonderful introduction to Quarrels’ glowing slow burn with its multi-part song structures and beautiful unfurling melodies.

The track is available for free download from the Hidden Shoal Store ahead of the release of Quarrels on the 25th of February 2013 - http://store.hiddenshoal.com

1) "We're All Water"
2) "Warrior Woman" (remix) 
words and music by Yoko Ono, © Onomusic 1972, 1973

In 2010, Yoko Ono performed several shows with the Plastic Ono Band and special guests. At the Orpheum in Los Angeles, Iggy Pop, Mike Watt, Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Perry Farrell, RZA, Lady Gaga, Carrie Fisher and Joseph Gordon-Levitt paid tribute to Yoko, performing songs from throughout her career. 

Yoko also invited a young group she had recently fallen in love with: tUnE-yArDs, whose breakthrough album, Whokill, was still a year away.

tUnE-yArDs wowed the audience and famous guests, updating the original 1972 lyrics of Yoko's "We're All Water." Yoko loved their performance and urged tUnE-yArDs to record the song for this benefit single, second in a series of 10" records, each with different artists performing Yoko songs.

Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs described the project: "Getting familiar with Yoko's vast body of work has been a true education for me. When it came time to choose one of Yoko's songs to cover, and then later one to remix, I had the opportunity to delve into the ground-breaking, punk-before-punk, radical, brave and brilliant work she had done, album after album. More musicians should learn Yoko's history as a songwriter and performer -- she's been light years ahead of us for decades."  

Yoko adds: "Merrill, Thank you for giving your love to "We're All Water!" 

Also included is tUnE-yArDs' remix of Yoko's song "Warrior Woman," an out-take from the Plastic Ono Band's "Feeling The Space" album (1973). The remix is a sneak preview of a follow up to the critically acclaimed Yes, I'm A Witch to be released later this year, featuring re-inventions of ONO's catalog by an eclectic group of cutting edge artists.   

The 10" records are a limited edition of 1000 copies.  On the flip side of each is an etching of a Yoko dot drawing.   

Profits from the record as well as 100% of income from the downloads (at www.ChimeraMusic.com) are being donated by Yoko, Tune-yards and Chimera Music to the Rockaway Waterfront Alliance, who have been doing great work for one of the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy, providing emergency food and shelter, and helping families and businesses get back on their feet.

PHANTASY

The debut single 'Impossible Alps' from the new collaboration between Diger Rokwell and Felicity Groom. 

When the not-so-secret darling of Perthʼs indie scene was surprisingly teamed with the unsung hero of WAʼs beat scene by the Cut and Paste Collaborations curatorial team, you knew instantly that this was destined to be no one off. There was something there, something damn special. 

Being the only WA act to win the WAMi awards for the industry-voted Best Indie/Commercial Pop Act three years in a row, and with the success of the sublime songstressʼ album Gossamer seeing her tour nationally with the likes of Tame Impala, Bob Evans and Little Birdy, Felicity Groom is ready to spread her sounds much further afield with the release of her second Felicity Groom album later this year. 

A chameleon of the Perth creative scene, Diger Rokwell is co-founder of the influential crew The Community, a visual artist of high repute and the producer of a string of outstandingly praised albums and EPs. Winning the WAMi for Electronic Producer Of The Year in 2012 and with various EPs and full lengths in the works- 2013 also looks set to be Rokwellʼs breakout year. 

Who then knows how between their respective triple j and RTRFM-airplay garnering projects the two have managed to prepare a complete album together as Rokwell & Groom that promises to impress and fulfil, but thankfully the release of New Parts is very close indeed. An ethereal mix of sun kissed visuals, haunting vocals, floating synths, crunchy ethno beats and reverb guitar, their sound is ready to first be spread far and wide with their debut single release, Impossible Alps. 

With an accompanying DIY video that sees Groom combining her past university film degree skills with Rokwellʼs continuing visual mastery.
