Having already reflected on Triple J’s ‘Next Crop’ it is time to add the stamp o’ Daze, and look at the Dark Cafe Daze picks for the Aussie artists to watch in the coming year. Some we’ve mentioned previously; others we had the best of intentions to. Regardless, they’ve each made enough of an impression [...]

New music love: The Paper Kites
Posted in new music love on July 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
There’s a little rumbling underground. A slight whisper in the wind. The sound of Australian folk music is slowly starting to emerge. Some may call it by the ‘Angus and Julia’ effect, but something in the last month has seemingly shifted and the pluck by pluck, harmony by harmony, folk(ish) music is starting to carve [...]
New music love: Dum Dum Girls – Coming Down
Posted in new music love, tagged dum dum girls, free download, new music on July 20, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Forget all the Mazzy Star comparisons floating around (not that that’s such a bad thing): the Dum Dum Girls’ ‘Coming Down’ is well worth listening to on its own terms. It does, admittedly, sound like it has sauntered straight of 90s indie pop – but with a healthy dose of assertiveness and swagger. “You abuse [...]

With a quarter of 2011 having blown by, it is time to pause for a moment and reflect on what is yet to come. While some predicted 2011 would spell the end of the electro-indie-rock-pop-female-popularity of the past eighteen months, that hasn’t stopped a stew of interesting slightly-left-of-centre female pop acts from waiting in the [...]
Coming up: Warpaint – Feb 8th – Oxford Arts Factory
Posted in live and honest, new music love, tagged oxford arts factory, sydney, warpaint on January 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
One of the standouts of BBC’s Sound of 2011, Rough Trade darlings Warpaint will be sweeping into town soon as part of Laneway Festival. Thankfully, to make up for the horrid scheduling clash with Two Door Cinema Club, the quartet will also be performing a few choice sideshows, and I’ve just snatched up a ticket [...]
Fresh off the press: Beth Ditto – I Wrote The Book

Seemingly taking a break from all her Gossip-ing, Beth Ditto further concretes her move into a pulsing electro-influenced arena with this track.
Off the beaten track: Hannah Gillespie – Sapling
Posted in new music love, tagged hannah gillespie on November 29, 2010 | 1 Comment »
A friend dropped me Hannah Gillespie’s name earlier in the day, suggesting her music would be somewhat up my alley. Shamefully, I left it until this late in the evening to finally give it a spin – I think my day would have been a whole lot better if I had discovered her earlier. Hailing [...]

Have you seen The Jezabels’ video for their new single, Mace Spray? Simply put: one of the most exciting Australian bands of the moment, without a doubt. Their debut album cannot come soon enough.
Music Video: Stonefield – Through The Clover

They’ve set the blogosphere and industry abuzz, and now Triple J Unearthed darlings, Stonefield, have released their debut video (and as you’ll see, they look damn happy about it!). Their sound, beneath the smiles, is absolutely killer. Definitely one to watch.
