Recovering the Blog's pace, here's a
new trio of discoveries for your listening pleasure!
Blank Realm. Hailing from Brisbane, Australia,
this quartet comprised by three siblings, Daniel, Luke and Sarah Spencer plus Luke Walsh, formed in 2004. First release arrived in 2007, with album 'You Don't Know the Devil Till You've Seen Him in a Flower'. A very prolific band, aside from touring with the likes of
Wild Flag, The Clean or the great
Robert Forster, they have released 9 albums, 3 EPs and several compilations and collaborative works. Now they are back with 'Illegals in Heaven', out on September 4th on
Fire Records. An album where their trademark psych-pop channels
Flying Nun's spirit with 90s American alternative rock, achieving new melodic, fierce and jangly peaks.
The realm of pop is here folks!
Static Daydream. Among the most exciting bands reaching my mailbox is the latest project of Paul Baker (Skywave, Ceremony), alongside his girlfriend and musical partner Jamie Casey. Beginning in 2012, their highly praised debut EP, '
The Only One' came out on Moon Sounds Records in 2014. Now it's time for their first
self-titled album, out at the end of August on Saint Marie Records.
11 blistering tunes between noise and dreampop, melting thunderous guitars, drenched in reverb and crunching distortion, with harmonies, a ton of melodic hooks and ethereal landscapes. All you have to do is embrace the (not so static) daydream...
PONY. And we end our trip in Toronto, Ontario, with a
four-piece active since 2013, when we heard their first tune and with a proper debut, available since this June at their bandcamp (pay what you want) in the form on an EP entitled '
CRUSHED'. Sweet, straightforward,
unabashed and fun garage pop, combining jangly guitars, sunny vibes and tones of carefree attitude (girl pop power, yay!). A most exciting first step for a band we are going to take a close care.
