In their near decade long tenure, in the wake of Barnyard’s release, Good Morning have been internationally celebrated, with widespread acclaim from Rolling Stone, NME, Stereogum, The Line Of Best Fit, Consequence, Alt Press, Paste, DIY Mag, Music Feeds, The Music, Northern Transmissions, KCRW, 6Music
Thoughtful, catchy, idiosyncratic, and nearly twice the average length of their back catalogue, Barnyard is all the things one might love about Good Morning, this time around presented with the fat trimmed and the edges sharpened. Recorded at Wilco’s famed studio The Loft, for the first time in a long time the record was made with the help of an outside engineer and featured as an international release on a record label not operated by a friend, but instead, Polyvinyl, joining the likes of Alvvays, Julia Jacklin, STRFKR, Kero Kero Bonito and joining the ranks at Sub Pop Publishing.
Those seeking grand reinvention or earth-shaking hubris in Barnyard will come up short. This is an album of good, well-made, finely-written songs, notable for its purity and coherence of vision, but not by any means a concept album; it is a record significant in Good Morning’s history, but not one with such self-importance that it would consider itself historically significant for all. That is likely what those drawn to it will love about it. Including the singles ‘Country‘, ‘Burning‘ and ‘Depends On What I Know‘, Barnyard is not too little and not too much. It’s just right – just Good Morning. The local leg of their world tour across so-called Australia follows their regional Victoria tour throughout 2021. Plus the band will play their biggest headline show to date at the Belasco Theatre. Supports will be announced soon!
Barnyard LP by Good Morning is out now, buy/stream it here.

Metronomy today share ‘Things will be fine’, the second single from their forthcoming seventh studio album Small World, out on 18th February 2022 via Because Music. ‘Things will be fine’, grapples with harnessing hopeful, sunny optimism in the face of difficult situations, speaking positivity into existence whether for our own reassurance or for that of our children or loved ones – even when we have no idea ourselves if things really will be fine.
The video accompanying the single is a paean to teenage nostalgia and which Mount describes as a “sort of pseudo role-play therapy session in which we all re-visit our teenage selves. Everyone ended up more scarred than they did before making it…apart from Michael and his f*#king guinea pigs”.
Listen to + watch the video for ‘Things will be fine’
Pre-order / pre-save Small World
‘Things will be fine’ follows ‘It’s good to be back’, as the second single from Small World, an album which sees Metronomy return to simple pleasures, nature, and an embracing in part of more pared down, songwriterly sonics, all while asking broader existential questions: which feels at least somewhat rooted in the period of time during which it was made – 2020. Finding appreciation in nature and our roots, while reappraising the things we value as we get older are all things that are part and parcel of the human experience: though it has all felt accelerated and emphasised in this past year or so. Through the tumultuous ebb and flow of the years, Metronomy continues to endure, and Joe Mount’s ability as a songwriter, arranger and producer shines through on Small World, evergreen.
Metronomy – Small World
Life and Death
Things will be fine
It’s good to be back
Loneliness on the run
Love Factory
I lost my mind
Right on time
Hold me tonight
I have seen enough

The fashion industry is a huge part of the global economy, with revenue that reached $5.7 trillion last 2020. It has been estimated that consumers in Europe and North America buy around 95% of all clothes sold worldwide every year, which means that the vast majority of clothing production is focused on these two regions.
However, the environmental impact of this industry is significant because it relies so heavily on petroleum-based products for manufacturing processes, as well as using natural resources such as cotton and wool from animals during the garment-making process. This blog post will discuss how you can reduce the harmful impact that the fashion industry has on the environment through some simple changes in practice.
Shop at thrift stores
One of the primary ways that the fashion industry impacts the environment is through its reliance on fossil fuels for production. It takes a huge amount of energy to manufacture clothing, which means that more than half of all fossil fuel consumption in America goes towards making clothes. The easiest way you can reduce this impact is by buying secondhand clothing at thrift stores and charity outlets instead of new clothes. Rest assured that there are various thrift stores where you can shop. You can even take the time to explore the internet where you can come across the best online thrift stores if you want to shop online. This will help you to save money as well since thrift stores are cheaper than buying new clothes.
Do not buy fast fashion products
Another major impact of the fashion industry is its contribution towards textile waste, which can get dumped into landfills or oceans where it ends up damaging ecosystems and polluting natural resources in a significant way. As much as possible, avoid buying clothes from fast fashion brands because these products are made to be disposable. You can also reduce the amount of textile waste you produce by repairing your clothes when they get damaged instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. There are various tutorials online that show you how to do repairs on different types of clothing, so take a look and give it a try.
-
Get crafty with your old clothes
If you do not want to buy secondhand or thrift store items but still want a way to reduce the environmental impact of your fashion choices, then you can get crafty with your old clothes. Upcycling is the process of taking something that is no longer usable and turning it into a new product, which means that you can give your old clothes a new lease on life. There are various ways to upcycle clothes. You can cut them to make something new, or you can patch them up with some other material and turn them into rags.
Choose natural fabrics over synthetic materials
The production of synthetic fibers for clothing is another major contributor to environmental pollution. This is because the manufacturing process of these materials releases harmful chemicals into the air and water, which can have a significant impact on human health as well as the environment. You can reduce this impact by opting for natural fabrics instead of synthetic ones.
Natural materials such as cotton and wool are better than synthetic fibers in many ways, with the most significant benefit being their biodegradability. Cotton decomposes quickly once it is disposed of into landfills or oceans because it does not contain toxic chemicals like some types of plastic do. This way you can also be sure that your clothing does not have any harmful chemicals in it, which is a benefit for you as well because these toxic chemicals can cause health problems like cancer.
-
Buy organic cotton clothing
Another way to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry is by buying organic cotton clothing. Cotton is one of the most pesticide-intensive crops in the world, and it takes a lot of water to grow. Buying organic cotton helps to reduce the number of pesticides and fertilizers used in production, as well as the amount of water taken from natural sources. According to research, buying organic cotton also helps to prevent toxic chemicals from entering your body through clothing because it is grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
Do not buy from fast fashion brands. If there is a need for you to shop for clothes in the future, then be sure that they are made of sustainable materials such as organic cotton so that you do not contribute to pollution and textile waste. You can even look into buying clothes made from recycled materials to reduce the number of resources that are used in the manufacturing process. These are some simple ways that you can reduce the harmful impact of the fashion industry on the environment. Be sure to try them out and see how much of a difference they make.

EVENT DETAILS
Date: January 22nd, 2022.
Time: 4pm-9pm
Address: Mr West, 106 Nicholson St, Footscray VIC 3011

THE MUSIC
AUSECUMA BEATS
Live from the open-air stage, the afro-beat meets dance-music mastery of AUSECUMA BEATS will take block party revellers on a global journey of music discovery as they move, shake and shimmy to the hypnotic sounds of the nine-strong ensemble.
Led by their fearless bandleader and master djembe player, Boubacar Gaye, AUSECUMA BEATS demonstrates what can happen when a group of artists come together based on an idea – in this case, the concept of place, of transplanting cultural heritage into a contemporary city.
ELAURA
Fresh off the back of her new single SHADOWTALK, Chilean/Australian songstress ELAURA will grace the stage with her jazz, soul, and R’n’B inspired music about love, self-awareness and finding one’s place in the world.
Singing stories about individual and collective evolution, ELAURA‘s captivating sound, honeyed voice and empowering lyrics remind listeners of their innate human power, authenticity and grace.
AMIN PAYNE

A vital member of the Operatives, Amin is also the co-founder of Condensed Milk, a collective & label that is renowned for drawing a crowd for its parties, talent showcases and DJ sets across Melbourne and releasing several acclaimed compilations of local and international artists.
Amin’s latest project is his TEYMORI alias which explores a distinctive take on house music. His debut EP merges sounds of Funk, Afro, soul, percussive rhythms & takes you on an organic journey with sophisticated grooves.
DJ PETRA
PETRA is a selector who will match the energy of her sets to the vibe of a crowd. Her selection sequences have depth with an old school analogue touch, so you can expect funky jams and energetic beats, high hats and deep melodies combining old and new tunes that will have everyone moving their feet.
Having been on the bill for the soft launch of highly anticipated ATET, with upcoming gigs for Novel and more, PETRA is hustling hard to emerge onto the Melbourne music scene in a big way.
THE FOOD & BOOZE
PIE THIEF
Pie thief is an overnight cult hero of the Footscray food scene. The idea was born from Aaron Donato (Bar Josephine) and Chef Scot Blomfield (ex Supernormal) sharing pints and discussing their love and nostalgia for a crispy, delicious, buttery, pie. Today, you will still see lines down Barkly St at lunchtime of people patiently waiting to get their hands on these incredible parcels of joy.
DINGO ATE MY TACO
Criminal Defence Attorney turned taco expert Paul Walcutt moved to Melbourne from Texas in 2019.
His food truck/pop-up focuses on elevated Tex Mex fusing Texas BBQ techniques with fresh and delicious Mexican flavours and the result is some of the most mouthwatering tacos in Melbourne.
MR WEST X HOMEGROWN POP UP BAR
Mr West has teamed up with the team from Homegrown to set up an outdoor cantina bar on the day. The offering will feature bottled cocktails designed by the Melbourne cocktail legends from Fancy Free using Australian spirits and native ingredients as well as a tidy selection of craft beers and natural wines from Mr West.
ABOUT MR WEST BAR & BOTTLE SHOP
Mr West Bar & Bottle Shop is a multifaceted drinking space and one-stop booze shop in the heart of Melbourne’s West. The idea was conceptualised in early 2016 when mates Caleb Baker and Josh Hodges realised they both dreamt of opening a venue and shared a passion for all types of liquor. With a wealth of knowledge, knowhow and industry experience between them, they knew they were onto something; and before they could drink Josh’s stash of mezcal, Mr West was born.
For co-owners Caleb and Josh, Mr West was an opportunity to collaborate and showcase their depth of knowledge and passion for booze in all its forms, and corners of the globe. Priding itself on being the house of hops and fine drops Mr West has 30 taps to choose from along with an extensive list of
independent craft beer, natural wine, speciality spirits and a carefully crafted seasonal cocktail list. The Mr West team works closely with industry legends both locally and Internationally to hold regular events, masterclasses, tastings and exclusive product releases.

SUPPORT FOR ‘MAYBE I COULD TELL YOU’
“Listeners can expect to be swept off of their feet and into the band’s indie-tinged soundscape upon the first listen.”
Wonderland. (UK)
UK-based noise-pop band Superlove have just revealed their ethereal new single ‘Maybe I Could Tell You’ and its picturesque accompanying music video.
The electro-pop-tinged track is influenced by mid-2000’s coming-of-age films featuring those early moments of falling in love. The band explain, “to take a step aside from our usual writing process was really fun and this song has definitely opened up another new window for what our band can sound like. Lyrically the song is all about those moments building up to telling someone how you feel about them, when you want to tell someone you love them or fancy them. It can be a pretty nerve-wracking thing. The conversational element to the song was something that was done to showcase the innocence and vulnerability of the songs topic.”
Previous singles ‘Save Yourselves’ and ‘wanna luv u’ saw extensive support from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Rock Sound (UK), Upset Magazine (UK), Milky, Rawing In The Pit, GC Live, Punktuation Magazine, AAA Backstage and Listen Loud. They also saw radio play from BBC Radio 1 (UK), RTÉ 2XM (IRE), Pinguin Radio (NED), The Faction and Radio Adelaide.
‘Maybe I Could Tell You’ is available worldwide now, via Rude Records
