<p><span><span>- The strains of kosmische Whadjuk/Perth are once again emanating from that far flung place. In particular one little synth-cult called Erasers and their new record, <em>Constant Connection</em>.</span></span></p>

<p><span><span>- Brisbane’s <strong>Sampology</strong> (of <strong>Middle Name Dance Band</strong>) has just released <em>Regrowth Rearranged</em>, a kind of remix EP via his own label <strong>Middle Name Records</strong>. This naturally follows from last year’s stellar album <em>Regrowth</em>, a work that taps into many styles of music from dance, to hip-hop and jazz-funk.

<p><span><span>- I missed the train with Fontaines D.C<strong> </strong>the first two times they came around so when I saw this record on the schedule, I made sure I was ready…or at the very least, I thought I was ready. <em>Skinty Fia</em>, or “damnation of the deer” has me stumped. Like, I knew the record would be good but I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. Coming two years on from <em>A Hero’s Death</em>, the Irish band are on a track of dour exploration, like a train ride through a grey morning.
