- Australian War Crimes is the third release in a year from Melbourne band cutters. With six songs crammed into ten minutes and one 7" record; it is a frenetic blast of garage punk.
King Woman: Celestial Blues
<p><span><span>- One of my favourite musical experiences is, without a doubt, the involuntary Patrick Bateman stinkface I pull whenever a reality shifting riff washes over me in an awesome wave and its peal alters a small part of my being. After this sonic cleanse, you retroactively feel your life prior to that point was pure guitar novitiate and that you are now, subsequently blessed. I made that pursed-lips expression so many times during this new King Woman<strong> </strong>record.
Sycco's First EP
Powered by shimmering, hooky choruses and impressive psych-pop production – the now-signature Sycco style – the EP's textures sound like what a lava lamp looks like: glowing, fluid, sometimes joyfully surprising in the direction it moves. Throughout the seven tracks, love is a constant but it's not all heart-eyes and hopeful prospects. "A lot of the EP is about my angry feelings that I bottle up. I write about what I'm going through in my day to day and about love … and being scared of love." This contrast between exultation and melancholia throughout the EP might just capture the core of Sycco: glimmering choruses that will refuse to leave your frontal lobe, and the secret, scared confessions scrawled between beats.
Of the release, Sycco shares: "I can’t even begin to explain how excited I am that ‘Sycco’s First EP’ is actually out there. It’s psychedelic, it’s random, it's enthusiastic, it's colourful - it’s everything I wanted ‘Sycco’s First EP’' to be."
