Weekend Showcase 3.23

Hollow (Do You?) - Single

Hollow (Do You?)

A-L-X \ ALLURE

Sweat crystals on your lips
like golden syrup glistening
Sugar-dusted pink twist
where thirsty birds go to drink.

Dog Orchestra – “Broke”
Before there was Dog Orchestra, the electronic dream-pop collective, there was Dog Orchestra, the intriguing discovery. “We never wanted it to be about us. We wanted it to be about the band and the music as a separate entity,” says Daniel. “As much as I love being part of Dog Orchestra,” adds Niklas, “I want to enjoy it the same way an audience member might. No wall between the band and the listener—that’s the goal.”

With mutual interests in everything from indie rock to dance to hip hop, they joined a few pop bands, which ultimately imploded. Says Niklas, “It wasn’t until me and Daniel moved in together that I felt the music began to sound as good as it should,” with songs like “Broke.” The two alternated between laying down the musical groundwork and writing lyrics, a practice they continue today. “It was effortless,” Daniel continues. “We were inseparable after that, and I remember my sister telling me that my dad thought we were a couple.” 

Dog Orchestra started recording guest vocals for their EP in Stockholm, before relocating to Berlin. “It’s less restricted than Stockholm, where everything is clean and at a right angle—even the crooked ones are calculated,” says Daniel. Berlin’s grittier culture represented possibility. “It’s a city in shambles being rebuilt. The opportunities felt less policed. Like the whole city needs a good paint job, and no one is looking over your shoulder telling you how to paint it.” Their experience followed in kind.

________________________________________________________________________

I couldn't find myself last night 
And I know where I'd be
But today I'm feeling so damn light 
And I'm ready to be seen

I'm searching for abandon
Where there's nothing left to breathe 
Like the fauna all around this town 
Is that so hard to believe?

I need to forget everything I know about myself, not me 
If you think you're losing focus
If you're still against this well, sorry!

Admitting that I crave control 
Can make me feel so weak 
So find me at abandon, love 
Think we're ready to be seen

I'm gonna forget everything I know about myself, not me 
If you think you're losing focus,
If you're still against me well, sorry!

Age Of Experience

Contact: wearefairchild@gmail.com

In 2014, Gold Coast six-piece FAIRCHILD began a series of pre-production sessions, with each band member contributing ideas, unhindered by genre expectations. FAIRCHILD worked individually and in small groups, at times swapping instruments, sharing half-baked riffs, beats, bites and grooves during an exacting four-month period of brainstorming and noticed parallels between their recordings and the songs of the 80s bands they’d always loved.

By early 2015, FAIRCHILD began recording what would become their debut album under producer/mixer Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice, Alex Lahey). The band then packed their bags and moved halfway across the world to Manchester, UK. A city in which they had no following, no homes and no source of income - in order to shake up their senses and focus on touring, performing and finishing their record.

After two years, FAIRCHILD returned home and released their debut album ‘So Long and Thank You’ on August 4th, 2017 - a collection of songs that traces their experiences from Australia to the UK, and back again.

In the lead up, FAIRCHILD released three EPs and multiple singles, with ‘Relevance’ and ‘Start Again’ entering the Spotify Viral 50 and FMQB SubModern Charts in the US, respectively. The band has toured Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and North America, playing showcases at Canadian Music Week and Music Matters Live. During their stay in the UK, FAIRCHILD embarked on a nation-wide tour with MOTHXR, supported The Human League on their ‘A Very British Synthesizer’ arena shows and opened for US rockers MUTEMATH on the European leg of their 'Vitals' tour.

Currently spread across the world in various locations, FAIRCHILD released new single ‘I Said’ on April 30th, 2020 - along with a bunch of older material to commemorate 10 years as a band. During this time, they've supported a whole range of bands locally - including Red Riders, Neon Indian, Cassette Kids, The Medics, Northeast Party House, Parachute Youth, Cub Sport, Battleships, Nantes, Canyons and played at the Gold Coast Big Day Out.

We are not music snobs. We prefer music connoisseurs.

So Long and Thank You
