Ivy League Records is thrilled to release Push The Blues Away, the new album by local powerhouses Josh Teskey (lead singer, The Teskey Brothers) and Ash Grunwald, out on 180g cream vinyl, CD & all digital services today! Featuring recent singles ‘Hungry Heart’, ‘Thinking ‘Bout Myself’ and ‘Something With Feel’, Push The Blues Away is an album born out of a mutual love for the blues and a genuine appreciation for each other’s talents. Josh Teskey: “The idea for this project all began as Ash and I got into the studio here in Warrandyte to work on a couple of things The Teskey Brothers’ were doing for Ash’s latest record. While sitting around in the studio, me with a harmonica in hand, and Ash with his old steel guitar at the ready, we got to jam on a couple of old timey blues tunes. I had a wail on the harmonica and Ash played that old guitar and we had a good old time doing it.  We had a good laugh about it and talked about how good it would be to record an album without any complications or expectations, just a full-on back to basics, just a guitar and harmonica bit of fun. I’ve learnt heaps from this project. Ash has a wealth of knowledge of obscure old blues artists I had never heard before until having the time to work on this project with him. We spent a bunch of time listening to old blues records and getting a feel for some of this stuff.  We tried to let that influence what we wrote and what this record became, hope you enjoy it.” Ash Grunwald: “This album was made how any good blues album should be in my opinion. Spontaneously and instinctively. I was honoured to have The Teskey Brothers appear on my single ‘Ain’t my Problem’. During the shooting of the film clip Josh and I started jamming on the Elmore James Tune, ‘The Sky Is Crying’. The song was on my mind because I was due to play it at Port Fairy Folk festival in honour of my hero, the mind-blowing, soaring powerhouse Chris Wilson, and here I was jamming with this young kindred spirit Josh Teskey, the most exciting voice in blues and soul I’ve heard in ….well… forever. In that moment felt honoured to be reminded of my small place as a thread in the rich tapestry of Australian blues music. Somebody filmed our little jam and it became the seed of a great idea. Why don’t we do an acoustic blues album, no bells and whistles, something from the heart.” Indeed, on Push The Blues Away, two of Australia’s most captivating vocalists, Josh Teskey and Ash Grunwald, come together to cast off the weight of expectation and revel in music’s most simple pleasures.  Recorded entirely live and straight to tape, with their only percussion consisting of gospel inspired hand claps and stomps, the pair laid down seven original tunes, some penned by Josh, some by Ash, along with two classic Blues covers, Son House’s ‘Preachin’ Blues’ and the song that kickstarted the whole project, ‘The Sky Is Crying.’ To help them achieve this vision, they enlisted the help of Josh’s brother, Teskey Brothers’ guitarist, vocalist and Grammy-nominated engineer, Sam Teskey on production duty. Being a mastermind of analogue recording techniques, Sam knew how to capture a vibe above all else and for five days the three of them holed up at The Teskeys’ studio in Warrandyte in regional Victoria writing and recording what would become Push The Blues Away. Both artists have had an extremely busy 12 months; renowned as one of Australia’s finest live performers, Ash Grunwald released his critically acclaimed new album MOJO along with his first book, “Surf By Day, Jam By Night” whilst The Teskey Brothers followed up their ARIA Award-winning and Grammy nominated second album Run Home Slow with the 2020 release of Live At Forum, earning them their first ARIA chart #1. Many years ago, before Ash even had an album out, he’d often play near Warrandyte on a Saturday afternoon. Over the road there were some ten-year old kids busking who would wander in and listen, The Teskey Brothers. It all feels part of a local blues tradition. As Grunwald looked up to Australian blues icons, maybe a bit of Ash’s music rubbed off on the youthful The Teskey Brothers. “The best thing of all is,” says Ash, “there are gonna be a whole lot of young musicians listening to these blues tracks. And so it continues…”

Today Captured Tracks releases Strum & Thrum: The American Jangle Underground 1983 – 1987, the first volume of Captured Tracks‘ new venture into compilations – Excavations. Spread across two LPs, Strum & Thrum includes an 80+ page booklet with an extensive oral history of the ‘80s indie scene, an introduction by Captured Tracks label head Mike Sniper, and tons of archival images and ephemera. The release caught the attention from major music outlets including Pitchfork, Stereogum, BrookynVegan, Paste and more and has already been praised by The Vinyl District saying the comp is “an eye-opener and ear-pleaser (A Rating).” Watch the compilation teaser featuring The Reverbs ‘Trusted Woods’ and archival footage of many of the bands included on the LPs HERE.

Due to the overwhelming excitement and praise for this compilation, all limited editions of orange vinyl + black vinyl have sold out. Captured Tracks will have more LPs coming in the new year, but in the meantime, check your local record store for copies of the black vinyl. You can also listen to the entire compilation digitally HERE.

Mike Sniper on Strum & Thrum: “Strum & Thrum seems like the right fit for the first reissue compilation for Captured Tracks. I’m happy that the first compilation I’ve ever produced features overlooked records that are still affordable – anyone who enjoys this comp can dive deeper into this scene without having to take out a loan. People nowadays sometimes say that guitar music is dead. Strum & Thrum is certainly against that notion. Listening to it and reading the oral history sheds a light on a largely forgotten scene full of great bands with some really great songs. I’m glad to be able to help share this story and get the bands some of the recognition they’ve deserved all along.

Inspired by Pebbles, Killed By Death, Soul Jazz and Numero Group compilations, Excavations is a series dedicated to compiling forgotten music from the 1970s – 1990s that has a connection to Captured Tracks’ sound and aesthetic. Much like the Cleaners from Venus, the Wake, and Saäda Bonaire reissues we’ve put out, Excavations releases will bridge the past to our current roster and showcase the kinds of sounds that inspire us. It makes sense that the first volume of Excavations is Strum & Thrum. As an American label, we’ve often wondered why British, Aussie, and Kiwi indie rock from the ‘80s has had the most influence on modern acts and the collector’s market. Granted, the music released on Creation, Sarah, Cherry Red, Postcard, Flying Nun, et al. during that era was fantastic, but a parallel to this sound existed in the US and Canada as well. Outside of bands like R.E.M., the Rain Parade, the Dream Syndicate, and a few others, most of these bands received little attention from national or international press outlets and markets – unless they opted for a “big ‘80s” sound and signed to a major. The acts on this compilation are the antithesis of that, with a true DiY spirit that lead many of these bands to self – record and self – release within tiny local scenes in small cities and college towns across America.

Though hardcore dominated the American underground at the time, the indie scene was no less vital and operated utilizing many of the distribution channels hardcore set up. The two genres may have sounded nothing alike, but the DiY ethos and dedication to community was the same… But this isn’t the story we’re used to hearing. While noted underground archivist and compilation producer Johan Kugelberg has called the ‘80s the “Dark Ages” of indie rock, Strum & Thrum aims to shed light on this forgotten era of jangly, melodic rock music that emerged from the ashes of post punk and helped kick start the indie rock boom of the early ‘90s that continues to this day. Indeed, many artists featured on Strum & Thrum went on to be part of this boom – Archer Prewitt from the Sea & Cake, Jon Ginoli from Pansy Division, Ric Menck from Velvet Crush, Brent Rademaker from Beachwood Sparks, Barbara Manning, and more went on to be in well known bands in the ‘90s.”

Lead singer Nathaniel Peacock wrote the songs with fellow band members Harry Bohmer (Guitar), Julian Addati (Bass) Ewen Stewart (Drums) and their live sounding EP was produced by Colin Wynne of Thirty Mill Studios in Melbourne.

MYLK’s debut EP encapsulates the young band’s successful journey from four school friends playing together for fun at home, to performing sell out shows on the East Coast.

Mylk’s name came about from their lead singer Nathaniel’s nickname in High School. Retelling the story, Harry says “he used to have stark blonde hair and so he naturally acquired the nickname Milky. We thought we’d throw in a bit of pizazz and change it to Mylk for our band. We do often get mistaken for vegan mylk but we’re not complaining.”

Their versatility as musicians and songwriters is highlighted throughout the EP and especially on alt- rock track ‘Holy Moly’ to the breezy indie-pop vibe of ‘Snooze’.

Their new single ‘Amends’ is “a melancholy groove about yearning for friendship and solace after a difficult relationship, even with the person you were in the relationship with.”

A staple for their loyal fans, ‘Amends’ shows a more vulnerable side to the band whilst keeping the signature easy going feel that their listeners have come to know and love.

Reflecting on their debut EP, MYLK says “It seems so strange to be releasing our debut EP and having to watch the reaction through a computer screen, but even though there is this disconnection, the support we have seen so far has almost made us forget that we’re playing gigs from our couches and broadcasting it through a phone.”

MYLK’s debut EP ‘Excursion’  is out now.

Inspired by a new era of music and songwriting, former RACKETT frontwomen Rebecca Callander announces her official name change to Beks and debut single ‘Stars in My Eyes’ out Friday, 6th November, from her upcoming mixtape. 

‘Stars in my Eyes’ is an indie-pop track that showcases Beks rich vocal tones and progressive songwriting. With a swelling bass, layers of melodic vocals and velcro accents and beats, the single echoes similarities heard from artists such as Caroline Polachek, Sophie and Allie X.

“‘Stars in My Eyes is based on a personal confession or realisation I had the day before entering the studio. I’ve always struggled to balance my personal life with my music, the latter taking priority. Finding myself in a familiar cycle of imbalance, holding onto the threads of an unravelling relationship, revealed a phrase that felt symbolic of my fantastical obsession with music; ‘I’ve got stars in my eyes’. This phrase became the closing statement of the relationship and the beginning of the story told in the song” – Beks.   

Produced by Tasker, the song was written at Fear and Loathing studios, Sydney, during a songwriting session between the pair who met on Sydney’s punk rock scene. Upon leaving the session, ‘Stars in My Eyes’ set Beks on an intensified songwriting journey, collaborating with artists and producers throughout Australia and the UK, which she has encapsulated in her upcoming mixtape. 

Since September 2020, Beks has been working daily with songwriters and producers in studios within Sydney and also in the UK via Zoom to create 12 unique tracks which will feature on her debut mixtape set for release mid-2021. The mixtape features co-writes and production by Taka Perry, Jim Eliot (Ladyhawke, EAST), Xira, Cam Nacson, Tasker, Lucy Neville, Nina Jirachi, Kim Moyes (The Presets), Airports, Clara Fable and more. 

Artist biography:

Ben Harper has shared a new video in which he performs his new solo album Winter Is For Lovers (ANTI- Records) in full, from front to back.  The mesmerising performance, featuring just Ben and his Monteleone lap steel guitar, was filmed at The Folk Music Center, the famous music shop that his grandparents opened in the late 1950s in Claremont, CA.  The Folk Music Center is central to the story of this album, which is out now and has been met with raves.

Winter Is For Lovers (ANTI- Records) is in many ways a culmination of Ben’s entire musical life. The intimate and ambitious solo recording is his first-ever entirely instrumental project, 15 original compositions that seamlessly flow together, imagined as a symphony for guitar.

“Virtuosic, heartfelt and quietly but compellingly brilliant” – Uncut Magazine 8 out of 10 stars 

“Winter Is For Lovers may be the perfect album for our time” – Folk Alley

“A lovely, sweet, immaculately recorded and performed set perfect for Sunday morning coffee” – American Songwriter

“The melodies are memorable, the flavours warm. It’s calming and rich and rather beautiful” – Financial Times UK 

The music heard on Winter Is For Lovers is deeply ingrained in Harper’s DNA and leads directly back to aforementioned Folk Music Center.  The shop and community centre has hosted music legends of all stripes, many of which Ben met while working there.  Some of the album’s many musical inspirations were visitors, including John Fahey, the godfather of the American Primitive movement, slide guitar master Taj Mahal, who Ben would later study with, plus the likes of Leonard Cohen, Jackson Browne, Doc Watson.

Winter Is For Lovers also swirls with the music Ben heard growing up, listening to the blues, Hawaiian and classical guitar masters in his mother’s record collection. He gravitated early on to the distinct wail of the slide guitar, learning finger picking from Taj Mahal and later studying with Chris Darrow of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band – a lap steel virtuoso who had a major influence on Harper’s lifelong embrace of the instrument.

The first pressing of a 2,000-piece limited edition vinyl of Winter Is For Lovers sold out in just 24 hours, but fans can order both digital and additional physical versions of Winter Is For Lovers here.

Melbourne’s SoundMerch today proudly announces a partnership with The Australian Music Prize (The AMP) in 2020, stepping up as the naming rights sponsor. The partnership guarantees a cash prize of $20,000 for the winner.

Australia’s most prestigious music award announced its return in 2020 for its 16th prize, last month. With COVID-19 putting many people and businesses under immense financial pressure, The AMP, whose primary source of income had been sponsorship, announced a unique opportunity to purchase t-shirts with 70% of all profit from sales going directly to the artists through prize money and marketing of the albums.

Since then, SoundMerch has generously stepped up to give back to the Australian music industry by sponsoring the prize. With COVID-19 putting a pause in live music and the tour merch that comes with that, bands have been pushing their online music merch more than ever as one of their main sources of income. This saw online merch and vinyl sales triple for Australia’s SoundMerch who has been printing and producing merch for over 10 years.

“We’ve had a great year and would like to give something back to Australian artists given most of them haven’t had a great year. Doing this through The AMP also helps promote a healthy music scene which in turn helps SoundMerch” said Tim Everist, CEO of SoundMerch.

Emerging in 2005, the Australian Music Prize has provided a mouthpiece for the best albums in Australian contemporary music, judged by esteemed peers within the Australian music industry that focuses on creative merit over mainstream popularity. A sister prize to the UK’s coveted Mercury Prize, the Australian Music Prize is Australia’s most sought-after achievement within the music community, honouring the album as an art form.

With over 50 Australian albums nominated – so far – the 16th AMP will announce its final list of 2020 Nominated Albums in December. In 2019, this list was 107 albums long out of 440 eligible albums with numbers looking similar this year. As per previous prizes, the Shortlist will be announced in early-Feb 2021 and then a select panel of the judges will meet in March to decide on and announce, a winner.

“It’s admirable of Tim to stand up to declare he’s making money from Aussie music and therefore he wants to give back and support the artists, I urge artists to work with companies like this.  SoundMerch’s support means we can guarantee a cash prize of $20,000 and if our t-shirt sales continue, we may even be able to offer more funds for those artists making great albums” said Scott B. Murphy, the founder and prize director of The AMP.

KINGSWOOD are rounding off what has been a massive year of music for the band with their take on some Christmas classics in forthcoming album – A Kingswood Christmas.

Engaging a long lasting love for pioneering voices such as Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole, the album is Kingswood’s tribute to the music that has soundtracked many a classic festive season.

The idea of creating a Christmas album is one that Kingswood have been ruminating on for some time. With a year as unpredictable as 2020 finally coming to an end though, it feels like the perfect time for Kingswood to release a record that is both fun, warming and hopeful.

12 Christmas favourites are brought to life on A Kingswood Christmas, including some inspired takes on ‘O Holy Night’, ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ and ‘Silent Night’, with both Alex Laska and Fergus Linacre trading lead vocal duties throughout, beautifully complementing one another.

“With a deep love of the many and varied Jazz-eras and the show-tune stylings of big bands that shaped American and furthermore, western global musical trends for some decades, our fascinations with the classic inspired interpretations on Christmas standards have long been celebrated throughout the years of Kingswood.” KINGSWOOD

The band recorded A Kingswood Christmas out of Melbourne’s Newmarket Studios with Guus Hoevenaars, along with added instrumentation from some talented musicians including Irena Laska (Flute), Richard Butler (Tenor Saxophone), Steve Hornby (Double Bass) Jack Davies (Double Bass). Following on from the band’s previously released 2020 material on the Reveries and Juveniles records, the team behind A Kingswood Christmas have engineered this album into a final product that fits in alongside perfectly.

The band’s already proven versatility as musicians lends itself brilliantly to a Christmas album such as this, bringing together rich vocals and instrumentation in a way that provokes some great nostalgia while also demonstrating the band’s talent in a fresh way.

Profits from the sales of A Kingswood Christmas will be donated to Beyond Blue, an effort that holds special significance for the band. Realising that they have the opportunity to help others less fortunate, particularly as we head into the Christmas season, Kingswood have paired up with Beyond Blue to raise funds for their Coronavirus Mental Wellbeing Support Service.

“Mental health is an issue that we have always been passionate about, and we have had the honour to work with many great organisations throughout our career. Many Australians are approaching an unprecedented period of difficulty, with the ongoing hardships the pandemic has caused, running into Christmas. The experts at Beyond Blue recognise that sometimes holidays can also bring stress, anxiety and depression, particularly among those dealing with loneliness, relationship difficulties or financial worries. Beyond Blue provides vital support for all Australians and together, we want to remind everyone that if you’re in strife and you need support for your mental health, reach out and ask.” KINGSWOOD
