Iconic Melbourne psych rock band Beaches make a welcome return after a fairly lengthy hiatus with more of the arty guitar-driven psych we love them for. ‘Void’ chugs along on a motorik rhythm, building ever so slightly until they really put the foot down for the last eight. Their imminent third album “Second of Spring” – a double LP, no less – means we’ll be hearing a lot more of them soon.
According to the band: “Void” is a conversation between two people, who discuss a prolonged absence, a temporary disappearance into a space of emptiness. We wrote Void in our rehearsal space in Reservoir (Melbourne) during a prolific period of song writing. It was produced by John Lee (Phaedra Studios), who also plays synthesiser on this track. Ali and Karla are on vocals. There is a restrained interaction between them, tempered by the motorik drive of the instrumentation.”
