'Can't Take It Anymore' is the second single off Wet Lips' upcoming self-titled album.

Can't Take It Anymore

you.

'Dépaysement' is the sound of being somewhere far, far away from home. It hums with the shock of being suddenly alone—in a place where no one cares who you are or what you’re doing.

On their debut album, Melbourne band Foreign/National sound enlivened. Having worked tirelessly on a string of acclaimed singles since the release of their self-titled EP in 2014, the band have embraced the longer format with open arms and a healthy dose of ambition.

From the opening bars of its titular track to the haunting death-rattle of ‘22’, the album’s closer, the band weave their way through a sprawling narrative with fresh lucidity.

“I swear I used to be a confident man. What happened to the confident man?” asks frontman Mark Gage on ‘Too Sentimental’, the LP’s first single, sifting through a distant memory—or perhaps a fading fantasy— with uncompromising honesty.

On ‘Mombasa’, we hear cues from Brian Wilson and Kamuran Akkor and as always, the sound of bassist Sean Gage and drummer Rhys Grunden sticking together like liquid nails, hurling the record forward with impossibly tight rhythmic interplay.

On keys, Sam Stearne brings palpable tension to ‘Ballerina’, and imbues ‘Nicole Warren’ with a gorgeous sense of weightlessness. Tom Stephenson, similarly omnipresent and shapeshifting, reaches dizzying heights of slacker ecstasy on ‘Sunny Afternoon’ and ‘Never Really’.

More than anything, however, ‘Dèpaysement’ shines as a product of undeniable chemistry and collective devotion. This is an album of songs that have lived many lives and taken many forms, but now feel strangely familiar and at home together.

Foreign/National’s debut LP, Dépaysement, will be released February 3 through DOWNTIME.

Daydreams

Built by an introspective lazy mind, Brassau has a distinctive sound that is filling the gap between classic psychedelic progressive rock and modern alternative pop. Laced with warm tape sounds, screaming modular synthesizers, swirling rhythmic guitars, melodic keys and captivating grooves, Brassau creates landscapes of sonic moods to catch your imagination.

Falling Out

PRE-ORDER 12" VINYL EP http://hopest.re/HS028VINYL

The best way to speed up a chemical reaction is to invite change and introduce an outside force: light, heat, movement. As The Cactus Channel know full well, the same goes with sound — introducing change compels a composition forward, as it rises, falls, peaks and boils. On their first release of 2017, vocalist Sam Cromack (Ball Park Music, My Own Pet Radio) is this catalyst for change, as the band collaborate with him on a full EP, introduced by lead single “Sorry Hills”.

As frenetic rhythms build only to fall away, and melodies loop, dive, and stutter, The Cactus Channel make music that both functions on and demands reaction. This collaborative EP treads a thin line between alt-soul and the best of indie pop, swimming in compelling atmospherics and deftly weaving Cromack’s rich, drawling vocal and disarming, meditative lyrics through the band’s typically intuitive arrangements. 

The Cactus Channel formed in high school, united by shared interests and a shared sense of humour — a love of soul music and the kind of hip hop, jazz, and alternative releases that spring from it, meant that from the beginning The Cactus Channel have prided themselves not just on eclecticism, but on the constant sharing of influences among their members. On this EP, the band venture into their second recorded project with a vocalist, exploring new influences and sonic territories.

Lyrically, “Sorry Hills” is heavy with a kind of guilty melancholy that belies the wordplay in its title — Cromack’s dark, introspective lyrics are accompanied by an instrumental that buzzes with a slight sense of paranoia: in the song’s instrumental bridge, the rhythm section simmers as horns let forth quiet squeals.

The band takes equal cues from hip hop instrumentals and golden era Soul — counting the sounds of  frequent hip hop collaborators BADBADNOTGOOD and the tight arrangement and production style of Stax Records as influences — as they build tracks that leave room for words to grow, breathe, and take focus, but never underestimate the power of beat and rhythm to build tension and release. 

Cromack’s voice is afforded a new palette in this project, as his vocals climb through horn arrangements and rhythm with unprecedented light and shade. 

“Sorry Hills” is out February 10th on all streaming services through HopeStreet Recordings, with the full 6-track EP out in April.

Arcadia (Delusion EP)

True Wild

MALCOLM CHISHO is the new solo project of Melbourne-based North Queensland songwriter Matt Maclean, former lead guitarist of underground Australian rock group THE BROKEN NEEDLES.

The self-titled debut EP features several slices of stripped-back, shimmering Australian guitar pop interspersed with Nebraska-style stories of no-hopers and screw-ups burning out on the fringes of Anytown, AUS.  

Recalling the sunburnt jangle of The Church and The Triffids filtered through the layered guitar meanderings of Kurt Vile with a touch of Galaxie 500, the five songs feature CHISHO’s understated, plaintive vocals and gently-picked nylon guitar adrift on a hazy sea of swirling keyboards, lilting viola, and gentle washes of percussion.

'When you want to be with someone, up ahead there is the idea of the two of you and how you will be together. But it is often a mirage that does not exist the way it looked in the distance when you arrive there. Patterns emerge of a closed circuit, for instance the other pulling away as you reach out, You try and become self contained as a protection mechanism because when you tried to share everything it was too much, but as soon as you become independent that's when they want you. Then the same thing happens in reverse. This song is about a type of love that even though it is constantly bringing up adversity, you simply can't turn away from it. Some absurd force draws you to each other. I am interested in this because its so perplexing, I want to understand but rationally I can't.'

"Spirits" is the newest release from Tunnel Signs (@tunnelsigns), co-written with NY artist Will Buck (@dj-will-buck),  and featuring a remix by hivern disc's Marc Pinol. Out now on Cutters Records.

BUY > iTUNES: http://apple.co/2m38xWz // VINYL: http://bit.ly/2lpMTbU

Tunnel Signs is the nom de plume of Australian born lover, fighter and romantic, Ash Moses. With a taste for playing and producing records that embrace the darkness, Moses parts the sea and finds the wonky middle ground between reverb drenched postpunk, hypnotic techno and spaced out disco. Having previously seen releases on labels such as Nein, Clouded Vision and HAKT he now finds a home with Cutters Records with this 12” with Will Buck.

The release, titled “Spirits” came into existence when Ash relocated to New York City, a place he had long dreamed of from afar. As luck would have it he found himself sharing an apartment with another likeminded electronic musician named Will Buck who became his studio-partner and eventual collaborator. Having bonded over a shared love of synthesizers, drum machines and all things rhythm they soon began their own freeform jam sessions which paved the way for this 12” release.

“Spirits” shares some of the slow hypnotic swagger and dark disco drone of Red Axes and Multi Culti but with a futuristic percussive palette of the likes of Four Tet. The heady modulated elastic synth sounds give way to deep undulating bass patterns and tribal percussion. On the flip, the lights get turned out and the acid turned up with an ominous Techno rework courtesy of Hivern Disc’s own Marc Piñol.

Spirits by Tunnel Signs and Will Buck is Out Now on 12” and digital via Cutters Records.

Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod

Wet Lips are a one-stop shop for getting off chops. 
They’ve been slaying audiences around Melbourne for the past three years and are not going to stop any time soon. With recent sell-out shows at the Tote and the Curtin, you’re lucky to squeeze into one of their sweaty crowds and jump around in the madness.  
Have a listen to their debut EP. It’s just three-chord garage burners full of mouthy lyrics that’ll have you yelling at everything. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. You’ll spill your beer while dancing like an idiot. Unhinged, unstoppable, as fun and sloppy as a 3am d-floor pash with some hot stranger. 
Pucker up.
