Single of the week: La Luz – Damp Face EP (Burger) & Call Me In The Day 7” (Water Wing)

Single of the week: La Luz – Damp Face EP (Burger) & Call Me In The Day 7” (Water Wing)

Seattle’s La Luz have a definite beach blanket bingo vibe, especially if the beach in question is located somewhere in Twin Peaks with the ghosts of crackly 50s doo-wop & 60s girl-group singles echoing from someone’s AM radio. …

Scrabble + Amateur Childbirth + The Player Haters @ The Tribal Theatre, Brisbane 28.05.13

It's a shambles. A glorious shambles. In my brain, I'm slumped down on the stage, my head clasped in my hands. …

Scout Niblett – It’s Up To Emma (Drag City)

There’s not much room for ‘fun’. No room for pom poms and a nihilistic refrain chanted ad nauseum like it’s a game. It’s straight down the line fucked upness, which is appropriate given the album is wedded so tightly to a heart that’s been badly burned. …
