- Nothing if not prolific, nothing if not always changing it up, nothing if not following his own beat, repurposing the musical sounds of the world into part of his slightly intimidating collage of noise: this is Enderie. He's probably best known for his work as Cured Pink (or part of it), which can be vaguely, messily circumscribed with the description dub-noise-rock (??). What must run a close second in notoriety, are his very regular forays into the world of dance music.

Dianas - 'Baby Baby'

Submitted by charlottec on Mon, 18/05/2020 - 11:40

Five years since the release of their debut full length album, Dianas' record Baby Baby is a culmination of the band's intricate history and their interlacing musical connection. Nat, Caity and Anetta ran away to a haunted farmhouse at the end of Winter 2018 to write, and this collection of 12 songs is the result.

The album is darkly atmospheric, mathy, uninhibited, bewitching and truly like nothing else happening in Australian music right now. A bit Kate Bush, a bit Bjork, a bit Sonic Youth, 'Baby Baby' features complex guitar parts duelling over pulsing drums and lyrics exploring womanhood, self perception and relationships with a gothic twist.
