My favourite month of the year, Aus music month, has rolled around FINALLY and looking back on the superb quality of albums released this year it's going to be ...hard to pick only one that stands out...so here are 2 that impressed me, which gets your vote?
Currents, from Tame Impala is another superb example of the production talents of psychedelic multi instrumentalist Kevin Parker. It is an honest expression of love, all the emotions, conditions & expectations that come with it. I can't go past "The Less I Know The Better" as my RMC pick.
Gang of Youths caught my attention very early in the year and thoroughly excited me, more in fact than any new comer has for some time. The Positions is the release of the year as far as I am concerned. Donnie, Joji, Jung and Maximus are such a tight unit, bringing together lyrical genius with Dave's vocal conviction. Each live show I have experienced has given me goose bumps...I love the stories told with each song, Magnolia is by far my RMC pick here.
Fave new discovery this year and definitely a band to keep your ears out for, is Verna's Keep from Byron Bay. Their amazing tunes woke me from my slumber on the hill at Falls Festival this year and I was drawn like a moth to the flame to hear their exquisitely sweet, polyphonic tunes. This year's EP Bones & Arrows is a skilfully produced debut that is receiving plenty of attention and is well worth a listen! Get your ears around it.
