The Power and The Glory: Meredith Music Festival 2014

An ode to Wil Wagner and rough-as-guts romanticism.

Album review: The Drums ‘Encyclopedia’
Jonny Pierce and Jacob Graham have recorded all your unspeakable, unknowable, inarticulate anger with the world and thrust it back at you in this punchy, melancholic third album. What happened to wanting to go surfing with the jaunty whistling? Nope, The Drums have moved on.
Album review: SBTRKT ‘Wonder Where We Land’
“Wonder Where We Land” is, in a word, glorious. Keep listening, dip a toe in first before you submerge yourself in this singular soundscape. With so much talent crammed onto fifteen tracks, I am a cooler person for listening to this album.
Album review: Seekae ‘The Worry’
“The Worry” is a different type of late-night electronic album, one that would never let you sleep and yet pulls you into its depths with inescapable hypnotism. A slow, graceful swan dive into uncharted waters, “The Worry” is an exciting new sound for Seekae.
Album review: The Griswolds ‘Be Impressive’
This is music made for warm weather, dry grass under bare feet and good friends.
Gig review: Fractures w/ Mammals, August 8 @ The Vanguard
On stage Fractures confidence oozes into every song, the hushed harmonies of Embers washing over the crowd and lulling us into each other’s arms. This is bedroom music, no doubt about it.
Album review: #1 Dads ‘About Face’
No one understands you like Tom Iansek. Big Scary’s frontman has once again tapped into a part of you that you either didn’t know was there, or had forgotten existed, through his latest release as solo artist #1 Dads.
Live review: Thieves, Aug 3 @ Beach Road Hotel
Thieves’ sound is rich and raw, filling the afternoon crowd with rambling nostalgia.
EP Review: Fractures ‘Fractures’
Fractures is a softly spoken heart-melter, with breathy falsettos, minimalist edging and electronic underlay that creates an ambience of introspection.
Album review: Fishing ‘Shy Glow’
Shy Glow is a rare blend of fresh sound and well-practised production, an exciting vindication for all of us who’ve been telling people about Fishing for years.
