Okay I think I first heard this at the Mount Pleasant / With Moths / Rhinoceros extravaganza at Watusi approximately a month ago (that was a p. cool show by the way, too many Phil Elverum vibes to count), and it’s almost disturbing in it’s fidelity to the original…
Ummmmm so looks like Foals did a total Primary Colours on this one, their new track Spanish Sahara proving that they can move beyond mathy hi-hat ravaging annoyance pretty expertly.
I think I’m still in shock from just how incredible this set was. Dripping with bizarre electronic tidal waves and monster machine sounds, I was soooo doubtful as to whether they could emulate their records live. Seriously. They didn’t just emulate the record, they reproduced and obliterated it.
Wow, how late are these?!!?!? Here is the first batch of report cards on acts from Campus A Low Hum, to be updated as my memory stops clouding over and I remember more of the acts that I saw.
Straightforward, melancholic guitar pop meets an australian accent that comes on probably a little too strong, but the delivery is wayyy too earnest for anyone to get too hung up on the ‘Strayan vibes. CHECK.
Okay so my laptop has been pretty destroyed recently so posts will be sporadic, but in the meantime, here’s an autotuned, not-quite-right cover of Beyonce’s Halo, by Major Lazer.
BASS. Lots and lots of bass. It’s the most striking thing about Telepathe’s live show. Literally. SFBH shook so much during their closer of So Fine that collapse wouldn’t have seemed like too much of an impossibility.
There was this incredible moment during The Ruby Suns’ set (7pm Day 3), somewhere around when it became apparent that Oh Mojave was now a bona fide club banger, that three of my friends and I almost instinctively let off our party poppers at the same drop…
Here are the rest of my favourite releases of 2009! Already outdated though. Sad face.
Woooooah so The Knife were already a pretty scary / good band, and that Fever Ray album was all kinds of stunning, but there’s something in their forthcoming Darwin-based fucking opera entitled Tomorrow, In A Year that has me superintrigued in them now.
