TJ caught up with Oscar France and Mick Power, the co-founders of Factory Sessions, a music group based in Northcote that celebrates improvised music, creativity and community.
Factory Sessions –
A Long Elevator Ride with
The Stranger Suite
Ahead of their double single launch this Friday, we had a chat with jazz influenced hip hop crew The Stranger Suite about the new singles, collaborating and getting real down way down.
A Great Tree
A Great Tree is a multi-sensory installation combining original music, light and space to convey a narrative around the mythical tree within Norse mythology. We got chatting with the brains behind it to get an inside scoop before it all happens tomorrow night.
Premiere:
China Beach – My Mind
We’ve got the great honour of premiering ‘My Mind’, the newest single from Melbourne’s disco party-starters China Beach, just in time to get your weekend started on a great note.
Premiere:
Yelderbert – DreamZ
We’re wrapped to be premiering ‘DreamZ’, the second serving of experimental art-pop from Melbourne producer/multi-instrumentalist/face-you’ve-probably-seen-in-a-thousand-bands Yelderbert.
Opening a Can of Worms
with Barefoot Bowls Club
Earlier this year, Barefoot Bowls Club dropped their debut single ‘Passing Out (On The Pakenham Line)’ earlier this year – an endearingly raw slice of garage pop – and we caught up for a chat with them as they gear up for their next release.
Everything I Did As A Kid – A Chat with Huge If True
Ahead of the release of their Huge If True’s debut single ‘Everything I Did As A Kid’, we got in touch with the psych rockers to get the lowdown on everything coming up.
Coming Home –
A Chat with Cosmos
TJ caught up with Melbourne psychedelic blues band Cosmos ahead of the release of their second album – Coming Home is a monstrous return for the band that plays like a wild journey into their own sonic universe.
Track by Track:
Hello Tut Tut –
World Music Dance Band
Hello Tut Tut’s debut album is an authentic exploration into the world of Eastern European music – sometimes lively, sometimes dreamy, and always eclectic, World Music Dance Band is an exciting introduction to an immediately loveable group.
Premiere:
Echo Mono – Retrograde
We’re really excited to premiere the new single by Melbourne five-piece Echo Mono – ‘Retrograde’ is a glorious slice of alternative pop, full with upbeat grooves, silvery vocals and ethereal synths.
Premiere:
The Hum Drums – MAKER/BREAKER
The Hum Drum’s latest single ‘MAKER/BREAKER’ is a burst of fried garage blues, packed with fuzzed-out riffs, pounding drums and a guitar solo that just won’t quit.
Premiere:
Bollard – Trawlers
Bollard’s debut album Trawlers is an explosive collection of abrasive post-punk – packed with intense chaos, it’s all sprawling guitars, ominous vocals and walls of noise.
