The BABE RAINBOW – “The Secret Enchanted Broccoli Forest “
Posted: November 20, 2014 in WE LOVETags: Australia, Psychedelic, The Babe Rainbow
Heard of THE BABE RAINBOW? Well, you should, because they’re going to be big. But not because we see them rivalling Lorde, but because there just isn’t any way to get their music out of your head. It’s beyond catchy.
To quickly fill you in, The Babe Rainbow is a three piece act hailing from the pristine Rainbow Bay (hence the name, probably) – which is relatively close to the Gold Coast in Australia. They have ties to Bleeding Knees Club, through their friend Jordan Malane (who is in BKC, duh). Most importantly, they’ve just offered up another single and accompanying video clip.

Brimming with ’60s nostalgia in both sight and sound, the Rainbow Bay guys have a new tune called ‘Secret Enchanted Broccoli Forest’ along with a handful of shows in support of its release.

ELSTOW – ” As The Sun Falls ” EP
Posted: November 16, 2014 in CLASSIC ALBUMS, MUSICTags: As The Sun Falls, Australia, Elstow, Psych Folk, Sydney
Borrowing the name of the building they were living in, Elstow was born out of an appreciation for the melodic folk stylings of sixties heroes Simon & Garfunkel and The Mamas & The Papas. Initially a duo, Jared Shaw and Chel Browne played Peats Ridge Festival in 2012 on the back of a few rough demos before taking some time off to travel and come to grips with their wider musical influences.
In 2013 Elstow expanded to incorporate five members. Drawing on the west coast psychedelic sounds of bands such as Jefferson Airplane and Peanut Butter Conspiracy, as well as nineties alt-psych idols Brian Jonestown Massacre and Mazzy Star, Elstow started work on their debut EP.
To be released in 2014, the result is a five track EP comprised of dreamy psychedelic landscapes fused with a unique folk sensibility. Combining surreal and at times haunting atmospherics with a subtle, personal approach, it’s their own variety of neo-psychedelic-folk pop.
please just listen to the track “Elderflower Bloom” .
ELA STILES – ” Kumbh Mela ” and ” Legs Won’t Bend “
Posted: November 7, 2014 in MUSICTags: Australia, Bushwalking, Ela Stiles, Melbourne, singer songwriter, Sydney
Ela Stiles singer songwriter based in Sydney, Australia. I’m not sure what the self-titled debut album from Australian musician Ela Stiles is supposed to be. an album recorded completely accapella with no instruments utilised bar Stiles’s vocals, in order to capture her at her most striking and vulnerable. But in practice, it just doesn’t feel complete.
The album is split into two distinct sides. The first half contains six short vignettes no more than two-and-a-bit minutes in length. There are some good things about these tracks – Stiles does have a strong and distinctive voice, which allows her to carry off the more conventional songs like the folky ‘Legs Don’t Bend’ quite well. However, at the same time it feels as if this whole section has been rushed and left unfinished. ‘Nothing Remains’ is over in 0 seconds, which doesn’t even give it a chance to start, let alone finish, whilst the titles of two of the songs, ‘Untitled Drone’ and ‘Untitled Man’, seem to suggest that these are merely the embryonic beginnings of some future track, not finished products in their own right.

HAYDEN CALNIN – ” Shutters ” Acoustic Re-work
Posted: November 3, 2014 in MUSICTags: Australia, Hayden Calnin, Melbourne, Oh Hunter, singer songwriter, The City Ep
A particular favourite here is singer/songwriter/producer Hayden Calnin and his musical career were drawn in his teen years after his father gave him a guitar at age 14. He hasn’t gone a day since without playing it. Dabbling in bands through his teens led him to add drums and piano to his repertoire, until at age 17 he finally decided to take on vocals. A degree in film, with a major in sound design became Hayden’s entry point into the world of music production. From here on it was only natural that Hayden would begin recording his own songs at home.
Since releasing his independent debut EP ‘City’ in 2012 Hayden has supported the likes of Tom Odell, Matt Corby, Willy Mason, Oliver Tank and Missy Higgins. He’s played festivals including Falls Festival, Gorgeous Festival and NYE On The Hill and has received significant attention with international syncs for his songs on USA TV series ‘Suits’, MTVs ‘Awkward’ and new CW series ‘The 100’.
Debut EP ‘City’ and sophomore EP ‘Oh, Hunter‘ are out now worldwide on iTunes.

Posted: November 3, 2014 in MUSICTags: Australia, Grandstands, Melbourne
Melbourne band Grandstands are back with their new single ‘Getting Out’. It’s a song ostensibly about breaking up and the realisation that Finishing the relationship is the best thing. The video for ‘Getting Out’. Shot at Melbourne Zoo, it gets that whole everydayness to a tee. There’s a strange calm to the close up shots of zoo animals doing what zoo animals do.
There is a really wonderful three track single with ‘Getting Out’ as the lead. The guys also have a debut album in the works, due for release in early 2015. Featuring ‘Getting Out’, it’s been mixed and produced by Josh Bach who worked onMilk Teddy‘s wonderful debut.
