Album Review: Talented Sun by Calvin Heights

Experimental music should be just like this: slightly perplexing, but not in denial of beauty. Calvin Heights is a band that doesn’t mind disturbing you, but this album just might make you happy. Favorite track: Man of Your Dreams Reviewed on podcast 16: Cowpokin with Andy Perkins

Album Review: Qalupalik by Daydream Creatures


This young band feels around the edges of their own expectations, finding occasional (and wonderful) roughness and meanness in the midst of their own sweet harmonies and kind words. A band to watch. Favorite track: You Let me Let You

Album Review: “Stake Your Claim”by Big Eyes

Taking control of the punk indie crown and owning the perfect sound of big distorted guitar and hella ferocious vocals. Stake Your Claim acts as fulfilment as well as statement of intent – yeah they’re staking their claim and dropping their flag on the biggest piece of cake.

Album Review: “No Control” by Jelly Mammoth

Such sweet young kids from Geelong. So innocent and uncontaminated. Or maybe not. Just intent on leaving expectations behind, drilling into the basics of power chords, and the direct vocal direction – no control, no control, no control!
