New Music

Music can be live or recorded, it doesn’t matter how it finds us. What matters is if it has the ability to stir us, make us think and make us feel. We search for the different, the new, the inspiring, the upcoming and the underground. If it makes our knees tremble with excitement and our skin shiver with pleasure, we’ll share it.

When the UK Indie Trio The xx announced they were returning to Australia for a quick capital cities tour, I was more than a little excited. Trembling, in fact.

Chris Arran Reader Find

By Chris Arran in New Music on Tuesday 9 April 2013

This French duo, Couboyz, consists of a graphic designer and a photographer. In this music video for the band, Husbands, there is little or no digital intervention, just a handbuilt set and some old-fashioned electronic wiring.

Experimental metal music by Meshuggah

Ed Tucker Reader Find

By Ed Tucker in New Music on Monday 8 April 2013

Meshuggah sure make some interesting music. It’s great to see a band really exploring what they can do within the framework of a certain style, pushing themselves and the genre whilst remaining true to what makes metal great. Utilising crazy timings and rhythms and 8-string guitars, it’s all decideldy experimental but never lets up on [...]

British Sea Power’s Machineries Of Joy video

Annie Churdar Contributor

By Annie Churdar in New Music on Saturday 6 April 2013

British Sea Power’s new music video for their song Machinery Of Joy is everything I want right now as spring fever begins to hit where I live. The relaxing shots of a sweater-wearing, dark haired girl riding through the country side makes me want to stop being productive and go for a long bike ride. [...]

Whitebate: new music by Joyland

Steven Quinn Reader Find

By Steven Quinn in New Music on Friday 5 April 2013

Joyland’s track Whitebait is pretty sweet. Haunting, hypnotic and atmospheric, with a vocal reminiscent of Frank Black. There’s a nice video to go along with it, too, directed by Tom Skipp.

Beautifully sad songwriting by Joshua Glenn

Annie Churdar Contributor

By Annie Churdar in New Music on Friday 5 April 2013

Joshua Glenn is probably one of my favorite songwriters ever. Based somewhere on the Southeast Coast, Glenn travels in search of the loneliest, saddest songs and captures them in little jars for us. This is the music I crave when I just want to sit alone, wrapped in a quilt and cry my heart out. His music feels like [...]

Continent: a classic album from CFCF

Dave Imms Reader Find

By Dave Imms in New Music on Thursday 4 April 2013

CFCF’s Continent caught my eye because of the cover photo. Some smokey looking green bush. The record opens up with Raining Patterns, a killer tune. A lot of people said it sounds like ‘something from that Drive film’, which is kind of true but, A. that’s not a bad thing, and B. everything does at [...]

Rage Against the Machine’s Killing In The Name: the less angry version

Low Lai Chow Contributor

By Low Lai Chow in New Music on Thursday 4 April 2013

Haha, this is hilarious. LA-based music composer Andy Rrehfeldt arranged, played and recorded a breezy, significantly less angry version of Rage Against the Machine’s angry anthem Killing In The Name. As one YouTube user put it, the band should be fittingly renamed as Slightly Upset With The Machine.

Every Day We Are Dying And Outer Space Does Not Give One Single Fuck: it is what it is. Another one of those cool things that pop up on the Internet and everyone shares it for a bit. My suggestion, get in the zone, have a relax, maybe it’ll be a nice time for reflection? Have [...]

Bowie2001: the ultimate space oddity remix

Annie Churdar Contributor

By Annie Churdar in New Music on Wednesday 3 April 2013

One time I was suckered into watching 2001: A Space Odyssey. I sat through hours of it, hoping it would all be worth while, hoping it would all make sense.  Finally, hours later the movie ended and I was still in the dark. The movie was completely lost on me. But then, year later someone [...]

Wildlife, the new album from La Dispute, is raw post-hardcore

Dave Imms Reader Find

By Dave Imms in New Music on Wednesday 3 April 2013

This isn’t so much about the Wildlife album as it is about my recent and rapidly growing love for La Dispute in general. Easily this record has pushed itself in to my all time top 10. Simply, ultimate purge. Vocally, they are brutal, musically they are less so. They sit in that fairly unspecific post-rock or [...]

Choking You: new music by Prefuse 78

Terrible Spaceship Reader Find

By Terrible Spaceship in New Music on Tuesday 2 April 2013

Have you ever seen that trick where somebody flips an alligator upside down and it puts the alligator into a completely blank-eyed frozen state? That’s exactly what happens to our brains every time we hear Prefuse 73′s song Choking You from the album One Word Extinguisher. The ability of that entire album to convey deep [...]
