Spring Skier – Chelsea

Spring Skier are the long term side project from two members of Hungry Kids of Hungary, Kane Mazlin and Remy Boccalatte. Chelsea is the first taste from this low key, melancholic acoustic duo. An album release is already in the works with no official date set just yet, but we do know it is “coming soon”, so keep your eyes out for Spring Skier “We Were Astronomers”. Chelsea is dreamy, beautiful and haunting.

 

Pear And The Awkward Orchestra – Bigger Than You

Sweet, cute, fun and quirky are four words that easily sum up this Brisbane act. Having released two Eps to date so far in 2007 ad 2009 it is a wonder that more of  us haven’t heard of this whimsical band. But never fear, a full length album that promises to feature the freshest, sweetest pear tracks yet has just been released. Its called Smocks check it out on itunes. The first track from the album is called ‘Bigger Than You’ which you can check out below.  Featuring a creative film clip, some uniquely gorgeous vocals and one killer hair cut that create an wonderful intriguing song, not to mention one of the best names for an artist.

 

Little Scout- We Are Walking Out

Excellent film clip for this track directed by Byron Quandry – ‘We Are Walking Out’ is the first single from Little Scout’s debut album ‘Take Your Light’, that will be out on August 5. There are a lot of things I like about this song, from the ringing church bells ending to the simple quaint female vocals. The song sneaks up from behind and grabs you on the run, you don’t realise how much you were enjoying it until it is almost over and then you go and play it all over again to relive its magic. Keep up to date on Little Scout.

 

Oh Ye Denver Birds – I Believe In Love Kid

This has to be one of my favorite songs going around right now, it never ceases to make me happy, (Not that I’m a sad person). But it is just one of the most infectious tunes, right from the word go it gets inside every part of your body and then they unleash the frogs and they will get even the most grumpy person smiling. It just makes you want to dance to put it simply. You can also download a limited B-sides release for free on OYDB’s Bandcamp page, feautring the tracks Swamp and Neon Rainbow. I hope you enjoy ‘I Believe In Love, Kid’ as much as I do.

Song of The Day – BONJAH “Go Go Chaos”

Jun 23

Posted by

Pop/Rock

These Guys from Melbourne have given us another taste of their second album “Go Go Chaos” due out on the 15th of July. The title track from the album is a little different to the other tracks we have already heard from BONJAH. “The White Line” & “Something We Should Know” have a punk pop/ blues feel to them delivered with heaps of energy. “Go Go Chaos” is more of a subtle pop song that shows huge progress for the band with a completely new sound. It features superb gated reverb on the snare drum that is draw out in the last minuet of the song. As always the distinctive quality lyrics and rough vocals are present. The whole track is slowed down, cruisey and very laid back with some great guitar lines to pull it all together.
BONJAH are a band that work hard and have been around since 2006 when they jumped the ditch from New Zealand to land in Melbourne. Rolling stone nominated them for the 2011 “artist to watch” award and they have sold over 20,00 copies of their previous album. Let us know what you think of BONJAH and their new song/album “Go Go Chaos”
