Laneway @ The RNA Showgrounds
- I started my 2018 Laneway day in front of the colourfully badass Dream Wife. The English / Icelandic band looked liked they’d strode off the set of Kill Bill and brought a musical pedigree to match. Leaning into the tuneful side of the more ferocious female punk outfits of yesteryear, their mixture of seductive vixen and stabby assassin worked really rather winningly on stage.
Lowtide: Southern Mind
- Shoegaze, atmos-pop, dream-rock – whatever your genre label of choice, it is guaranteed you will be set adrift to float on a billowing ocean of swirling saturating sound if you dive into the newest album from Melbourne outfit Lowtide.
OK Sure: Pleomorphism
- It speaks volumes of your connection to your craft when you can display the breadth of your influences in a manner that is focused and congruent; but it’s no easy feat. Particularly with DJs and electronic producers, the best always listen widely and select precisely, produce in a way that gleans from the past and forges the new. This is why Pleomorphism (which means the occurrence of more than one form in the life cycle of an animal) the debut album from Melbourne’s Ok Sure is of recognisable quality.
