- Pocketmoth have caught me really off guard. The nascent, Brisbane-based, electronic music label is promising to put out all sorts of interesting music from across Australia and, as their first gambit, have thrown together a little compilation, with a big-sounding name, Infinite Twist.

- “It’s Friday night and I feel like dying” was the rather ironic introduction we got to the debut album of Sydney band Flowertruck when they released the delightfully dramatic track Dying To Hear early last year. I call this line, and much of the fear and uncertainty that is expressed in that single, “ironic” because Flowertruck are so earnestly charming and it is near-impossible to listen to them without smiling.
