The Stress Of Leisure - 'Faux Wave'
From their latest album Faux Wave, out in November, they open the cheque book with inaugural transaction Banker on TV.
The band has totally blown their chances of ever being on Channel Nine with this pointed stream of consciousness. Instrumentally, things are going in four different directions, but what you get is decidedly focused on the main prize - the banker on TV, whoever that is. Mark Mothersbaugh does not cameo on this track.
Faux Wave was recorded at Phaedra Studios (Melbourne) in February 2020 by John Lee (Bananagun / Gordon Koang / Laura Jeanne), with the pre-lockdown tension of faux-everything captured over ten tracks. Subjects never range too far from the brave new world. Not punk, not no wave, not even new wave, but faux wave.

As long as I’ve been a grass-roots music journo and a dingy community broadcaster (hint - a long time!), Monkey’s been on my radar; the quintessential alternative artist. I mean alternative in ways that are too often forgotten: from an early background in illegal raves in Sydney, he bloomed into an outback nomad, travelling the country as a political activist, blockading mines.
Dirty Projectors: 5 EPs
<p><span><span>- 2010 on a dusty Sunday afternoon in the Meredith Supernatural amphitheatre, an equally dusty music nerd wanders by the stage when his entire body is completely taken over by the intricately executed perfect dynamic, four-part vocal blast of <em>Temecula Sunrise</em> from breakthrough album <em>Bitte Orca</em>.
