Matt Corby’s Past, Present & Future

By Phillip Imkamp ⋅ March 13, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

After a very successful 2012, which found Matt Corby’s name spread with his song Brother, winning the ARIA music awards “Song of the Year”, as well as being nominated for “Breakthrough Artist” and “Best Male Artist”. Though he was formerly a contestant on Australian Idol, Corby has demonstrated how that is behind him, releasing an incredible three song EP, Made of Stone. His voice can only be described as, beautifully haunting.

Matt Corby has also released four other EPs: Into the Flame, Transition to Colour, My False, and Song For… This artist is not only meant for fans of folk music, but everyone. He writes powerful songs to pump you up, as well as more emotional laid back ones to listen to when relaxing. He is currently in the studio writing and recording for his debut album which is scheduled to be released next year. To keep up to date, you can check out his website and his Facebook Page where you can download his music.

The Story of The Falls

By Phillip Imkamp ⋅ March 12, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

They met. They fell in love.
They wrote songs.
They fought. They made up.
They broke up.
They wrote songs.

The Falls focus their songwriting on documenting the love, betrayal, and the heartbreak of relationships. This Sydney based indie/folk duo decided that it would be better to create music, rather than just wallow in sadness. These fledgling recordings were just the beginning of what has become their debut EP HOLLYWOOD, which will soon be released sometime during March in North America.

Known for their live performances, and the emotion that is put into them, The Falls create intoxicating melodies, paralleled with their signature elegant harmonies. With an unmistakable sound, barefoot collaborators and best friends The Falls are definitely worth watching out for in 2013. For more information you can check out their website, and see their North American tour dates below.

An Autobiography is being released through Broken World Media and for the European fans by Dog Knight Productions at a later date.

Stream: T.E.A.M.S – Sierra City Center (Diamond Club)

By Erik Barns ⋅ March 5, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

In late February T.E.A.M.S released a new album, Sierra City Center (Diamond Club). T.E.A.M.S is the psychedelic/lo-fi project of Sean Bowie. The project shows a lot of similarities to Walsh, through the electronic vibes that have a really soothing yet dazed feeling, which is most apparent in the title track. Although this record is far from a copy of Walsh, it has a very psychedelic and abstract presence in songs like When Jesus Talks To Me and Yuba. This record is ultimately a challenging yet fun listen, with a relatively individualistic sound at times. The record is available for purchase through their Bandcamp page, or you can stream it below.

Listen: Pairs – “Eltham Join”

By Harri Gibson ⋅ March 5, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

Last week Pairs released, as the title suggests, an album of nine solely piano and vocal tracks. Far from their usual noise rock sound, and even farther from Elton John himself, this collection of songs are commendable. Despite an apology on their Bandcamp page from Australian frontman, Xiao Zhong stating that he is “fucking tone deaf” it doesn’t seem to matter. The lyrics throughout the album would appear out of place coming from the lips of an auto-tuned artist, complaining about the relatable annoyance of promotional texts in Shanghai. The sheer zest and originality of Xiao Zhong’s words on every release so far that Pairs have put out mask all the other critiqued imperfections. Stream the album below and download it from Bandcamp.

Listen: Lake Michigan – “Self-Titled”

By Harri Gibson ⋅ March 3, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

Lake Michigan, lo-fi acoustic solo project equipped with disarmingly honest lyrics have released their debut self-titled album. Chris Marks, inspired by the hushed and melodic sounds of Death Cab For Cutie and American Football, recorded, mixed, and mastered this release by himself. This collection of nine slow and sad tracks accurately touches on the themes of adolescent ontology. The album is available to purchase from Wolf Town DIY as a CD and also you can stream it below from Bandcamp.

A message from Marks about the release, “You have no idea how much I would appreciate all of you who are reading this listening/buying a CD from Wolf Town/showing your friends/assisting me in getting this out there as much as possible.”
