Primitive Calculators: On Drugs [Vinyl 7"]

Traces of the early Detroit Techno sound exist in harmony with 1970’s Dusseldorf and Early 60’s Southern California on 3rd album by Melbourne left-field electronic producer Other Places. A voltage-fuelled electric dream driving forward in a relentless search for meaning and understanding, Lost in the Sea of Paradise is an is an excitement of contrasting concepts, filled with unhinged electronic resonances, it explodes with pure electric crackles and catapults the listener through deep reflective meditations and across vast cosmic landscapes to land on a pounding dance floor filled with your best-loved friends. An exhilarating concept album (and proud!), pushing against the grain of its electronic music contemporaries.

Habits: Habits EP [Vinyl 12"]

“A Kenny For Your Thoughts” is an album of mutated classic pop. In the tradition of 60's pop Idols and suave crooner babes of a bygone era, Liam Kenny (Bitch Prefect, Peak Twins) and producer Jack Farley (Beaches, Twerps, et al) give us a record of extraterrestrial interpretations. From Billy Idol to Bob Dylan, you're gonna be surprised what you find on this record. Coming like a voice out of the void, Kenny and Farley take the hits we know and love, and give them back to us strange, brutal and beautiful. Featuring guest appearances from contemporary Australian luminaries Martin Frawley, Amy Hill, Joel Carey, Justin Fuller, Ela Stiles, Al Montfort, Pat Telfer, Amy Franz and Jack Mannix.

Brutal minimalism in a wall of corrosive electronica, they evoke the end of times and raise existential panic, all the while enveloping the listener in a strangely comforting blanket of static and feedback. Armour Group are experimental, atmospheric and conceptual, their music rooted in the traditions of the power electronics/death industrial genre. Through their use of extreme minimal electronics accented by samples drawn from cult cinema, broadly referencing serial killings, murder, disaster, misanthropy, immoral acts, relationships, love and betrayal, they aim beyond brutality to incite feelings of euphoria and affirmation, as well as evoking the impending demise of our current culture and natural surroundings.

Little Desert are a savage force of pulsating psych, afire with hard rock brilliance, doused in post punk cool. Featuring the scorching keyboard of Roman Tucker (Rocket Science) and a voice that will tear you apart (Esther Rivers), Little Desert have a sound that is hard to pin down. Check them out if you love Patti Smith, Catherine Ribeiro, Shocking Blue, Blues Pills, Black Mountain or The Black Angels.

Going Somewhere is a stunning album of new material from legendary Australian synth-wave band The Metronomes : Andrew Picouleau (Sacred Cowboys), Al Webb (Streetlife) and Ash Wednesday (Models, Jab, Einstürzende Neubauten). True to their Minimal Wave roots and yet completely contemporary, this is the work of seriously pedigreed electronic musicians who have shaped a new avant- garde record with tongue firmly in cheek.
