Life takes twists and turns and good things take time. Four years since the release of her acclaimed ‘Survivors’ EP. The debut album from Kids At Midnight is upon us. In both theme and tone, All I Ever Wanted Was Your Love embodies the romance and nostalgia that Kids At Midnight has become renowned for. Her music is often described as ‘The soundtrack to a teen romance film that never existed’, the metaphor became reality earlier this year when album track ‘Boys Like You’ was selected to score the climactic final scene of Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever” series. A US teen series that has reached 40 million households!

Having reached a vibrant novel audience, Kids At Midnight’s healthy catalog was not quite enough to satiate her excited new fans and anticipation for her debut album has become palpable. With her listener base sharply growing in 2020, All I Ever Wanted Was Your Love’s imminent release is not just timely, but poetic. 

“After a couple of years of promising this album and life and love drama getting in the way, writing and producing these songs and then finally getting to the place I could let them go, it feels so amazing to have it ready right now! Not just to share with my new fans from my song being on ‘Never Have I Ever’ (which has been crazy), but as a slow motion rom com running embrace to the people who’ve waited so patiently for its completion.” 

Eleven tracks of enchantment and intrigue, of romance and reconnection; All I Ever Wanted Was Your Love is an elaborate showcase of Kids At Midnight’s composition, production & performance. It is a record that is both timeless in essence and timely in apparition.

Added to Spotify’s ‘Indie Fuzz’ playlist

Added to Apple Music’s ‘New Music Daily’ playlist

Bryon Bay-based indie-rock group SEASIDE have just unveiled their compelling new single ‘Dopamine’ – produced by the band themselves and mixed by Paul Pilsneniks (The Mars Volta, Boy & Bear, Silverchair).

Opening with ominous synth and an unwavering beat, ‘Dopamine’ swiftly kicks in with dreamy reverb-soaked guitars, as the mesmerising melodies of Darcy Dexter float elegantly above. The track coasts along effortlessly, before dipping down momentarily and gradually building back up, as it transitions into its soaring and infectious chorus.

Dexter talks about the meaning behind ‘Dopamine’:

“’Dopamine’ is about being so caught in the whirlwind that is love – letting it consume you and throw you around without giving it a definition or needing to explain it. It can be both the best and worst feeling all at once, but it’s the one thing that universally ties us all together.”

To celebrate the release of ‘Dopamine’ the band will perform to a limited capacity audience at Black Bear Lodge, Brisbane. Joining them on the show will be special guests Melaleuca.

In the live arena, the group have toured Australia multiple times, selling out headline shows and sharing stages with Last Dinosaurs, Angus and Julia Stone, The Jungle Giants and Lime Cordiale, and also performing at mainstay festivals Splendour in the Grass, Party in the Paddock, Summersalt Festival, BIGSOUND Festival and Grampians.

Previous singles have been widely embraced by the likes of Australian radio stations triple j, triple j Unearthed, FBi, 3RRR, PBS FM, 4ZZZ, 2XX FM, Bay FM and Edge Radio.

The tracks have also received strong support from tastemaker outlets Pilerats, Life Without Andy, The Revue (CAN) and Indie Obsessive (USA), and Spotify via their playlist’s New Music Friday (USA) and (AU/NZ), Front Left, Chilled Afternoon, Brekkie Time, The Office Stereo, Low Key Weekend, Australian Viral 50, Indie Arrivals and Gegen den Strom.

SUPPORT FOR ‘SIX FEET UNDER’

“It’s pristine and soothing and has a bit of Flight Facilities about it. My fave of the recent Lamalo tracks, it’s got me laying back in the afternoon sun.” – 4/5 stars
– Declan Byrne – triple j (AUS)

“It’s an elegant, vibrant kaleidoscope of brooding electronica with irresistible disco grooves.”
– Music Feeds (AUS)

Sydney-based producer duo Lamalo have just unveiled their moving new single ‘Six Feet Under’ featuring Charlotte Adelle – mastered by Ben Feggans (Flume, Mallrat, Coda Conduct).

Opening with thudding kick drums and rumbling synth bass, ‘Six Feet Under’ is an exquisite amalgamation of deftly produced house music. The track immediately introduces Charlotte’s captivating lead vocals as the instrumentation dynamically dances around her melodies, creating a kaleidoscope of brooding electronica. Bright hi-hats splatter across serene percussion, building intensely as the vocal harmonies float effortlessly above.

Lamalo talk about the inspiration behind ‘Six Feet Under’:

“The song is about burying the love you had for someone. Realising all the things that weren’t right in the relationship and taking the rose-tinted glasses off.”

Previous singles have been strongly supported by Spotify and Apple Music, including an entry in the Spotify AU Viral Chart, with their single ‘Outside’ amassing nearly two million streams. They’ve also been widely embraced by Australian radio institutions triple j, triple j Unearthed, FBi Radio and various other community radio stations.

THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SHOW IS TOMORROW

PREVIOUSLY-UNHEARD SOUNDBOARD RECORDING
OF THE ORIGINAL STOOGES LINEUP’S FINAL PERFORMANCE
AT GOOSE LAKE FESTIVAL

It is with great excitement that Ivy League Records announce the release of Lewis Coleman’s beguiling debut album Method of Places – out Friday 20 November. Alongside the album’s previously-released offerings ‘Going Your Way’ and ‘Animal’ also comes the brand-new single, ‘Good Side’. Premiered last night on Triple R’s Out on the Patio, ‘Good Side’ is a mesmeric four-and-a-half minutes that encapsulates the depth and artistry of the Melbourne musician.

Lewis Coleman on ‘Good Side’: “Good Side is an all-encompassing crush. The limbo period of excitement and possibility, in combination with the fear of edging too close and dissolving the delicate fantasy.” The fruits of Lewis’s labour are on brilliant display on Method of Places. It’s an album which effortlessly straddles the worlds of indie rock, electronica, jazz and soul, bristling with big ideas and artfully arranged songs that are both abstract and melodic, shifting and morphing around you, pulsing with a hushed intensity, but always grounded by a rhythm section so spartanly groovy that your head can’t help but nod along in assent. Written, played and self-produced across five years, in five bedrooms, the record has a big kind of history in it, both sonically and lyrically. Ask Coleman and he’ll unassumingly tell you that for him each song is a micro-world containing multiple moments in time, each one swimming with memories and pieces of himself that span the last half-decade. In ‘Good Side’ he is a 15-year-old kid in Year 9, trying on corduroy pants at Savers (Melbourne’s much-loved Mecca for secondhand clothes), developing a personality, finding friends, having crushes. In ‘Going Your Way’ he’s six wines in, a piano stool creaking beneath him as he idly plays the keys. In ‘Is This Me Now’ he’s accidentally out of his mind on hallucinogens, as synths warp and crash around his distant voice, convinced he’s broken his brain forever.  When taken as a whole, Method of Places becomes a history of his young adulthood up till now. A Memory Palace, where all the songs are different rooms, co-existing under the album’s roof. As well as being championed by the likes of FBI & triple j unearthed, Coleman’s previous single ‘Going Your Way’ was CLASH (UK) ‘Track of the Day’, with the publication describing the song as “heady, bewitching, and ultimately immersive” and labelling him as ‘definitely an artist to watch as 2020 develops’.

FROM EXILE

Philadelphia-based punk band, The Menzingers will release From Exile, a reimagined stripped down version of their 2019 release Hello Exile. From Exile was recorded from the band’s respective homes while in isolation during COVID-19 stay at home orders. The album will be released digitally on September 25 and on vinyl November 13. Fans can pre-order the vinyl now via the band’s webstore, here.

Today, the band share “Strawberry Mansion” and “High School Friend” from the forthcoming release.

LISTEN TO “STRAWBERRY MANSION” & “HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND” NOW

The Menzingers were on tour in Australia when the world seemed to abruptly stop due to COVID-19, forcing the band to cut their tour short and make their way back to Philadelphia. “The live music industry vanished before our eyes, and just like that we were out of work like tens of millions of others,” notes singer/guitarists Greg Barnett. “As the weeks progressed the upcoming tours got rescheduled, then rescheduled again, then effectively cancelled. There were times when it all felt fatal. There’s no guide book on how to navigate being a working musician during a global pandemic, so we were left to make it up as we went along. We wanted to document and create in the moment, and though we couldn’t be in the same room together due to social distancing lockdowns, we got creative.”

Over the next few months, the band would re-record Hello Exile from their separate locations. “We would track the songs from our own home studios, share the files via dropbox, and pray it all made sense when pieced back together. Initially, we planned for the album to be similar to our acoustic demo collection ‘On The Possible Past,’ but we quickly found out that this batch of songs benefited from more detailed arrangements,” adds Barnett. “We rewrote, and changed keys and melodies. We blended analog and digital instruments in ways we never had before. We dug through old lyric notebooks and added additional verses. We got our dear friend Kayleigh Goldsworthy to play violin on two songs. No idea was off limits. Hell, I even convinced the band to let me play harmonica on a song (no small feat!). The recording process ran from mid-March till June, and upon completion we sent it over to our dear friend and close collaborator Will Yip to mix and master.”

SUPPORT FOR KIYANOSH

“The combination of boom-bap type flows over heavy 808 production from label mate shue which makes ‘KARMA’ unique.”
– AUD$ (AUS)

“Woozy left field hip hop definitely up my alley.”
– Gemma Pike – triple j (AUS)

“Riding that lo-fi beat with total confidence. Love the eccentric chaos of this record.”
– Tommy Faith – triple j Unearthed (AUS)

“Jazzy funk and soul over traditional Hip-Hop soundscapes.”
– The Word is Bond (USA)

Sydney-based Iranian jazz rapper Kiyanosh has just unveiled his daring new single ‘KARMA’ – lifted from his forthcoming EP ‘Dying Alone’ – produced by label-mate shue, mixed by Doebas Petes and mastered by Jack Prest at Studios 301.

Opening with ominous swirling sounds, ‘KARMA’ is a thought-provoking slice of introspective hip hop. The sincere and commanding cadences of Kiyanosh float effortlessly above the flawless and brooding production of shue, to create an infectious and bouncy track led by its subtle chaotic energy.

Kiyanosh describes the motivation behind the track:

“The inspiration for this one loosely stems from me comparing my life and what I’ve gone through to that of my Mother’s, and realising how much more cynical and jaded I am, even though I’ve kind of gone through nothing in comparison to her.”

Kiyanosh embraces the sounds of jazz, soul, electronic and everything in between. Born and raised in Sydney with most of his family overseas, Kiyanosh often explores his Iranian roots, his Australian upbringing and the inevitable clash of cultures, ideals and lifestyles between his two worlds.

Sonically speaking, Kiyanosh continues to consistently manipulate genre in order to better explore a wider range of emotions and ideas. In addition to his solo project, Kiyanosh is also a member of hip-hop duo SKID2 and founder of the Spretbot Syndicate record label and collective.

Previous releases have been strongly supported by the likes of triple j, triple j Unearthed, FBi Radio, 2SER FM, 2XX FM, The Word is Bond (USA), Hip Hop Magz (USA) and many more.

In the coming weeks Kiyanosh will reveal an accompanying music video for ‘KARMA’.
