ODD RUMBLINGS







From magnificent altitudes the techno-pop pulses and crystalline synths of Odd Rumblings beckon, almost like an undercurrent or an impending force that is rousing yet unfamiliar. Their songs become physical anecdotes; icy landscapes unthreatening, terrains limitless. And through this escapade into the wilderness, the holy vocals of Audrea Lim and Gabriel Sedgwick summon through the veils of snow and ask us to pause for breath during the “stormy white-noise of modern life”. 


ABBE MAY


Abbe May does love a bit of rock 'n' roll…which is why she surprised the hell out of everyone with Kiss My Apocalypse - an exploration of pop sensibilities that have been hardened with the guise of erogenous Doom Pop. Topping iTunes, ARIA, and AIR charts, her second album could easily be one of 2013’s best Australian release contenders. And there probably hasn’t been a review yet that's left out the words 'brave', 'cool' or 'sexy' to describe this album’s feat. 


ACTEURS


Cyberpunk racers, dead TV channels, amped-out brains, metallic avant-pop; this is the sonic machinery of duo Brian Case and Jeremy Lemos. Case is the lead singer and guitarist for Disappears (ex-90 Day Men, The Ponys), and Jeremy Lemos; a live sound engineer for Sonic Youth, The Shins and Iron & Wine. What happened when the two got together in a home studio one day was nothing short of accidental…or brilliant.
