The CREPES – ” Ain’t Horrible “

Melbourne‘s the Crepes first step as a band turned out to be a gigantic floating leap.
The five-piece’s debut single,”Ain’t Horrible”, is pop perfection; a slow-flowing pastel colored storm that jars all the beauty and whimsy living below psych-pop’s underground and pull it up to full bloom in its wash.  While I traipse through the blotted meadows, make sure to look out for the Crepes‘ forthcoming debut EP due for release in 2015.
It’s chill and laid back like Dick Diver, Mac DeMarco, Twerps, but the chorus actually reminds me of a lo-fi version of Grizzly Bear with it’s careful drumming and vocal layering. It’s a pleasant mix between slacker lyrics such as “I just want to go back to bed” and the delicate craftsmanship of a band not content with just lounging around their house for the rest of their youth.

Ceres are one of those Australian bands that you find so exciting because it’s like you’ve discovered some sort of treasure.

LOWLAKES – ” Now She Said “

Intimate, haunting, and swirling with atmospherics, Lowlakes’ music has a sense of the cinematic. Their marriage of shoegaze, alternative and dream-pop is dark with imagery of midnight, wintry landscapes- punctuated by bone-chilling waves of frontman Tom Snowdon’s voice. Originally hailing from Alice Springs in the central Australian desert, childhood friends Snowdon, Bill Guerin and Jack Talbot formed Lowlakes with Brent Monaghan in 2011 after relocating to Melbourne. Lowlakes made waves with the release of their 2012 eponymous EP, and after performing at the prestigious CMJ Music Festival in New York in October 2012, Lowlakes’ haunting sound is digging a footing all over.

Good Morning delivering the goods from Melbourne are Stefan Blair and Liam Parsons of new band on the scene, Good Morning. With influences from your favourite psychedelic legends to early Mac DeMarco, to Beaches, the boys are creating what could be the next big wave of music in preparation for the hot Australian Summer. With the help of Solitaire Records who also represent I’lls, their seven-track EP was posted just six days ago and is already racking up a very healthy number of plays. Sporting an array of lazy bass-lines, jangly guitars and hazey vocals, the EP titled “Shawcross” is well worth a listen.

SAGAMORE – ” Longer ” EP

Sagamore  I have good feelings towards this band – and generally anyone who thinks employing a horn section is worthwhile,  Melbourne’s Sagamore are putting out their new EP, “Longer” – recorded over the span of a year between Christmas Hills, Thornbury and North Melbourne before being mastered by Lawrence Greenwood (Whitley) at his Hiss and Hum studio.

Sagamore aren’t changing any frontiers of sound – although but they seem a little more interested than the rest of jangle-gate.  The interchangeable harmonies between Sam and Sophia are warm (‘You Can Take Me My Love’) and rhythms are replete with community hall dance moves from yesteryear (‘Iodine’, ‘Feelings’). Longer is sets off at a slower pace compared to the hook driven self-titled release. The band do edge on running bar chord devotionals and lyrical repetition into the ground, but lead Sam Cooper manages to deliver any leftover passiveness into a warmth only Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy could run off with. 

 

The GOOD MORROWS – ” Spaceman “

An exciting band from Melbourne, Australia, The Good Morrows.Hailing from Melbourne town, The Good Morrows is a quintet whose delectable fast-paced rock offerings represent the product of a concoction of youthful folly and a love of great music. Having individually meandered through the Melbourne music scene for a few years, and sharing an appreciation for all things garage lead to the creation of the band. Distinctly The Good Morrows’ knack of delivering an altogether spontaneous, yet meticulously measured platter of melody shines though in their debut single, ‘Je N’ai Rien A Dire’.

Returning from a European sojourn in early 2012, Jarred Scopel (Guitar/vocal), armed with a bevvy of recently penned tunes teamed up with some long-time muso friends to bring fire to a proverbial melting-pot of musical influences.

Scopel’s fondness of classic rock n’ roll shines through in his voice and lyrics. Joined by Andrew Plisi (Guitar/vocals), the pair share altogether apparent penchant for all sounds Stones, Dylan and flower punk. They’re also indebted to the likes of Black Lips, The Dandy Warhols and 13th Floor Elevators.
The experience of Steve Acott (Bass) and Liam Skoblar (Drums) represents a proverbial rock of Gibraltar driving home the seminal sound central to the band. Tim Bass (Tambourine), although being a classically trained flugel horn player, also stakes his claim with his markedly revival-rock diddlings.
