Date: 9th - 12th July Location: Island of Pag, Croatia  Despite the current state of the world, a small brand with a strong local following decided to do what everyone else was afraid of doing, and that was to keep the good times rolling in a world filled with as many uncertainties as ever. So, coming out of lockdown, BSH Events had one goal, and one goal only, and that was to never stop dancing despite the music industry taking a massive hit, as most festivals around the world have been postponed until 2021.  Undeniably, the cards were stacked against this Croatian brand, which has been throwing some of the best parties at some of the unique locations across the country since 2013. For a brand that has gained a loyal fanbase thanks to their unique approach to venue selection as well as a genuine love for music, scaling up to a project, this initiative seemed very ambitious. Not to mention they had to make sure that the festival abides by all epidemiological measures necessary.  But nonetheless, the BSH boys got to work and against all the odds setting up a star-studded 4-day long BSH Island music festival in beautiful Croatia, on the amazing Island of Pag lasting from the 9th until the 12th of July. Island locals have dubbed Croatia's Ibiza due to its beautiful beaches and amazing nightlife, bound to take any visitor on an unforgettable musical journey.  The same island whose clubs on Zrce Beach have raised generations of ravers and party enthusiasts ever since the opening of Kalypso in 1987. The same club that will be hosting the official BSH Island Afterparties, along with the festival’s main venue Noa Beach Club, a club that literally stands on water, and features a newly built and already sold-out Noa Glamping Resort, whose luxurious villas with swimming pools and a breath-taking view of the Adriatic, will be accommodating the festival attendees. Throughout its younger history, the club has hosted reputable festivals such as Sonus and Hideout and had some of the world's most famous artists perform there.  The artists ready to rock the house this summer's BSH Island festival at Noa Beach Club are nothing short of spectacular, to say the least… The festival’s main headliners are international superstars, the likes of ARTBAT, Paco Osuna, Richy Ahmed, and Honey Dijon.  In addition to that, the festival's opening will be headlined by Manchester-based brand, Kaluki, whose performances are in demand from Ibiza to Miami. On top of bringing us one of the headliners in Richy Ahmed, they are bringing along Pirate Copy, Joey Daniel, Ki Creighton, and BSH Events' own, Pablo Panda. Kaluki are frequent guests at some of the most popular festivals such as Parklife in England, the BPM Festival held this year in Costa Rica, and many others. Their debut in Croatia could potentially mean more Ibiza based brands coming to Croatia. In an effort to expand on the musical experience, BSH Events has involved Under No Illusion Recordings, which will also showcase the likes of Andrew Meller, Tolstoi, and Viktor on top of a special Pirate Copy b2b Ki Creighton show.  Supporting the star-studded lineup will be upcoming local artists listed in no particular order such as PEZNT, Aldo Morro, Dea Tosh, Tom Bug, Goran Starcevic, Full ferry, Yakka, Inav Coste, Kali, Mike&Me, Mony, Tino Simich, Urban Pfeifer, DJ Jock, Shipe, Senno, Sin, Sonnet, Halaus, Neroa b2b Damian Leboss, and Stanky Baby. Some of these artists will be showcasing their tunes on Sunday at Mixmag Adria's daytime stage as well. The festival has already sold more than 1500 tickets in record time. In addition to that, the total number of attendees expected is around 4000 in total, proving that the hype around BSH Island is real. And with a quality lineup on a beautiful island, it is the perfect musical experience for anyone looking to enjoy the beauties of the Croatian coast, so it is not surprising that European dance lovers are truly eager to go.  Moreover, the festival hopes to spark the Croatian tourist economy by organizing and referring its guests to supplementary vacation activities in order to let the festival-goers explore the amazing wonders of the Adriatic Sea. The official pre-party for the festival happened on the 21st of June at Mint Club in Zagreb and left visitors ecstatic thanks to the performance put on by British DJ and producer Richy Ahmed, who will be returning to make his BSH Island festival debut. As of the moment of writing this press release, BSH is still actively pursuing potential partnerships and collaborations, which would make this festival's first year even more unique, so you never know what could happen in a week or so. But one thing is sure - no one wants to miss out on the BSH Island festival debut. Full Lineup: Aldo Morro, ARTBAT, Andrew Meller, Damian Leboss, Dea Tosh, DJ Jock, Full Ferry, Goran Starcevic, Halaus, Honey Dijon, Inav Coste, Joey Daniel, Kali, Ki Creighton, Mike&Me, Mony, Neroa, Pablo Panda, Paco Osuna, Peznt, Pirate Copy, Richy Ahmed, Senno, Shipe, Sin, Sonnet, Tolstoi, Tom Bug, Urban Pfeifer, Vedran Car, Viktor, Yakka Headliners ARTBAT A Ukrainian DJ duo that has an admirable rise to fame in recent years. Its members, Artur & Batish are currently among the most successful DJs and enjoy global recognition. The key to their success lies in their unique production, which is highlighted by massive sounds and dark undertones. Their songs bring powerful energy to any venue, no matter a stadium or an underground garage. In addition to dominating many dance charts, their music is widely appreciated around the world, as they are frequent guests at many festivals in places such as Brazil, Germany, Ibiza, and the US. PACO OSUNA A Spanish DJ and producer of techno music. Since 1999, he has been a resident DJ at the famous Amnesia club in Ibiza.

A veteran of many summers spent in Ibiza and an original resident of Paradise at DC10, Richy has toured the world playing some of the finest clubs and festivals around, from Panorama Bar to Space Miami and Glastonbury to Tomorrowlands, Richy is no stranger to applying his infectious ability to get people dancing. HONEY DIJON  A popular American musician and stage artist. She has successfully been flirting with a multitude of music genres, even though her base is the world of underground electronic music. Known for her subtle mixing skills, her almost sensuous transitions between house and techno music bring a warm, hypnotic vibe to her DJ sets.

StoKed is one of the exciting artists emerging from India’s fledgling techno scene, and his new release features a remix from Irish duo Loco & Jam who are best known for their works on labels like Drumcode and Tronic This new EP is forthcoming on Canadian label Deep Therapy who have been steadily picking up momentum with releases that often chart inside Beatport’s Top 100 Techno Tracks. In addition to Deep Therapy, StoKed has also featured on other labels including Steve Mulder's Orange Recordings and Durtysoxxx's Funk'n Deep Records. Stepping up on remix duty, Loco & Jam have featured on some of techno’s most established labels and their rework on this release is a fine example of why the guys are in such high demand. Previously they have put their stamp on tracks by the likes of Spektre, Green Velvet, Victor Ruiz and Pig&Dan. "Deeper Passion" opens the release with pitched tom drums, fizzing hi-hats and a pounding kick drum at the heart of its full throttle groove. Throwing in a healthy dollop of acid and some twisted vocals, it has all the ingredients needed to set the dance floor alight in a frenzy of peak time excitement. Loco & Jam take a stripped back approach to their remix of "Deeper Passion" that focuses on the original's twisted vocal. Adding additional atmospherics and other hypnotic elements it’s still got the solid foundation needed to rock the dance floor, but does it in a more understated way than the ecstasy of the in your face original. Closing the release is the gritty groove of the second original titled "The People" taking its name from the vocal sample. Slowly ramping up the tension with a series of drops that draw focus to the hard-hitting bottom end and kick drum, the track hits its peak with the euphoria introduced in the main break that morphs to become sinister and more intense as things unfold.

ELMO AOYAMA DEBUT EP 'SPELLS' OUT AUGUST 26 VIDEO FOR TITLE TRACK 'SPELLS' OUT NOW

ELMO AOYAMA DEBUT EP ‘SPELLS’ OUT AUGUST 26 VIDEO FOR TITLE TRACK ‘SPELLS’ OUT NOW

by the partae June 29, 2020
written by the partae

“Lofty lyrics, gentle vocal delivery, a punchy 80s synth and mesmerising accompanying visuals make for a kind of dream sequence-esque cinematic timelessness.” – FBi Radio

“I love how that the sweet pop chorus rises from this misty eyed DIY synth pop tale of regret.” – Declan Byrne, triple j  ★★★★

“[In Spells] Elmo has measured out each sonic ingredient perfectly – from the delicate and ethereal top notes to the a squelchy modulated undercurrent and even her own own buttery smooth vocal delivery.” – Weirdo Wasteland

Listen to ‘Spells’, the electronic-tinged synth-pop single from Elmo Aoyama, out now via Dinosaur City Records (AUS/NZ), Burger Records (North America) and Geertruida (ROW). The single is taken from Aoyama’s debut EP of the same name, out Wednesday August 26.

‘Spells’ premiered on FBi Radio on Thursday and is out now everywhere. The bewitching new song follows the release of debut track ‘Summertime’, which featured on ‘Stay Inside: Songs from the Great Indoors’ and saw praise from the likes of NME, The Fader, The Music, Mindies and more.

Listen to ‘Spells’ now on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp and Youtube.

“Spells is a song about loss and the change that follows. The subconscious is often responsible for processing transition, particularly when changing relationships and lost friendships occur suddenly or are unresolved.” Explains Aoyama of the new single.

Of the accompanying video, Elmo says, “[Spells] was shot in a single take out the front of my old house in computer. It was shot the morning I moved out of the house and right before I hopped on a plane to Mongolia. It entertains the notion of other paths and possibilities, the wonder of what would have happened or what could have happened if things had worked out differently. Strangely, not only was the video filmed at a pivotal point in my life, but also many of the objects in the video have been passed on or lost, tying in with the theme of loss within the song.”

Born in Tokyo and based in Sydney, Australia, Elmo Aoyama is best-known as synth-player, bassist and singer in much-loved Sydney band Big White who have released an EP and two highly acclaimed albums on Spunk Records/Caroline/Burger Records, toured the USA, Europe and the UK, and performed festivals including SXSW, Treefort Music Festival and Burgerama alongside acts including Ariel Pink, Gum, Julia Jacklin and Ty Segall.

Taking inspiration musically from the likes of The Knife, Dirty Three, Yann Tiersen, YMO, Miharu Koshi and Yosui Inoue, debut EP ‘Spells’ was recorded at Elmo’s Blue Mountains home back in 2017, where she had no internet, no phone service, a waterfall down the road and west facing windows backing onto bush. Elmo printed off a limited run of home-made CDs and took them to Japan where she played a run of shows, selling out the CDs and abandoning the project for a few years before resurfacing the tracks for a full release in 2020.

The songs that make up ‘Spells’ reflect on events significant and insignificant to Aoyama, exploring themes of love, life, death, loss and politics.

“When people are in transit they’re in their own vacuum. They think about where they came from, where they’re going, what they did and what they’ll do next. If it’s a familiar route fragments of memory are stored along the way which is triggered when you reach that same spot. Passing a corner or glancing up at a street sign might remind you of who you were with or what the weather was like last time. Spells is a collection of songs written during transit through automatic writing. Each song represents a time already passed which will never be revisited again. The songs include both significant and insignificant events, fleeting thoughts and feelings which deal with themes of life, death, loss and political comment.” Elmo says of the EP.

‘Spells’ (EP) will be released on August 26 via Dinosaur City Records, Burger Records (North America) and Geertruida (ROW).

Reece Lemonius – Something I Can Feel (Video)

The dark and compelling single ‘Something I Can Feel’, taken from Reece Lemonius’s ‘Midnight’ EP, is now accompanied by an equally captivating music video. Shot in a flickering red haze, the visuals are suggestive of the need to feel something, even if it hurts. The video complements the vulnerable lyrics of the sombre yet polished R&B track.

MYRY – Stuck In A Loop (Molly Mouse and Jett Polo Remix) 

Producers Molly Mouse and Jett Polo have created a remix of MYRY’s soft pop offering ‘Stuck In A Loop’, capturing the ethereal nature of her breathy vocals in the original track and elevating it into a summer anthem through buoyant beats and tropical house elements. We hope to hear more of the synergy between this sibling duo on future collabs.

LAGIOIA – Lord

Swiss R&B prodigy LAGIOIA released the enchanting acoustic ballad ‘Lord’ earlier this month. Cast over delicate guitar melodies, her soulful vocals effortlessly glide between honeyed falsetto and emotive belts as she sings candidly about struggles with self-love. Inspired by Erykah Badu and Alicia Keys, LAGIOIA possesses boundless potential.

Breon S.Y.N.D.E.L – Neon Blue (Video)

The video for Breon S.Y.N.D.E.L’s 2019 release ‘Neon Blue’ is out now, shot in an iridescent haze of purple lights and smoke plumes. The visuals are centered around Breon alone in a small bedroom, conjuring a sense of reflection that supplements the moody percussion, pensive lyrics and dark hip-hop flow of this interlude.

Dylan Joshua – hologramº EP

Canadian hip-hop artist Dylan Joshua transports listeners into the future with the release of his conceptual EP ‘hologramº’. Exploring the topics of mental health and digitalisation, Joshua raps candid lyrics mellifluously, flowing over dark chill-hop beats and atmospheric elements. This transcendent record uncovers more of its complexities with each play.

Anna Aarons – Since You Went Away

Specialising in soulful indie-pop, singer-songwriter Anna Aarons has released her second single of the year, both championing female empowerment and family. ‘Since You Went Away’ is an homage to Anna’s late grandmother; the lyrics portray grief and absence, yet the song is uplifting through its upbeat rhythms and elated melodies.

Holly Abraham – Love Will Come (EP)

Holly’s husky vocals are accompanied by softly strummed guitar and sweeping strings on the title track and EP opener ‘Love Will Come.’ This is the debut project from Bristol-based indie folk pop artist Holly Abraham, who specialises in expressing vulnerable emotions through her lyrics, paired with productions that feel both delicate and grand simultaneously.

DIVE DEEP INTO GUARD’S DEBUT ALBUM THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT
Music News

GUARD shares cathartic debut album ‘THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT’

by the partae June 27, 2020
written by the partae

“Serious music wrapped in a technicolour package and, as Guard says himself, if conceptual pop is up your alley, this will be just your thing.”
– Cool Accidents

”Left-of-center pop music that could be making waves internationally.”
– Tommy Faith, triple j

“The future of pop music is here, so jump on board early”
– Pilerats

Melbourne-based conceptual pop artist, Guard has today released his debut album, The Identified Patient, an eleven-track storybook of healing as he finds peace post-trauma, premiered via theMusic.com.au.

Dark, emotional messages hidden in blissful bops: Guard’s debut album The Identified Patient delivers crisp production alongside smooth vocals and emblematic lyricism. From lamenting the pain of unrequited love on ‘Phantom,’ to discussing the end of toxic relationships in ‘K BYE’, to learning how to put your heart and health first in ‘Styrofoam Heart,’ each track on The Identified Patient delves deeper into Guard’s journey of healing after leaving a toxic relationship he started while living in LA. “This is a breakup record about finding myself and finding acceptance,” Guard explains. That said, it’s also more than that: for Guard, it’s a story of holistically coming to terms with his childhood trauma, experiences with depression, substance abuse and precarious relationships.

In psychology, ‘The Identified Patient’ is a term ascribed to the dark horse of a family or the problem child: two things Guard has defined himself as throughout his life and is only now able to elevate above. More than your average pop artist, Guard’s music is a project fuelled by conceptualisation and personal exploration. The album was conceptually inspired by Damien Hirst’s work, and it’s artwork visually inspired by the works of Julia SH & Nic Sadler’s series Fresh Meat. Guard goes on to explain: “Due to unresolved trauma, I became a product of my feelings. Completely ruled by emotion & constantly falling into codependent relationships. The cover is a reminder to me of who I don’t want to be anymore. I don’t want to be a product of my trauma. Inspired by Damien Hirst, Julia SH & Nic Sadler, I am exploring the addition of psychotropic medication.  I also wanted to explore the duality of life/death, of beauty & pain.”

For the album, Guard worked with a number of producers including featured work from Umru (Charli XCX) for ‘im calling the cops’, and mixing by LA-based producer Tony Rodini (Terror Jr & blackbear).

The Identified Patient follows the release of preceding singles ‘I (Don’t) Miss You,’ ‘Phantom,’ ‘K Bye’, ‘Wine N Die’ and ‘Martyr,’ each having received praise from fans, streaming platforms and media tastemakers alike. To date, they have earned well over half a million streams on Spotify and were featured on editorial playlists such as Chill af, Study Zone, Indie Arrivals & Pop Edge. In addition, he has seen plenty of love from outlets such as  Billboard, Paper Magazine,  V magazine, Tone Deaf, Pilerats, and Cool Accidents as well as triple j and triple j Unearthed. This is also on top of success he’s seen as curator and admin of hugely popular Instagram meme accounts @mycriinge, @mymoistmemes, @dopegrounds and @tindervsreality. Join Guard today on a journey of self-discovery and introspection.

MUSIC FROM THE HOME FRONT ALBUM DEBUTS AT THE TOP OF THE ARIA CHART

by the partae June 27, 2020
written by the partae
Mushroom Group and Bloodlines are thrilled to accept a #1 ARIA Chart debut for the Music From The Home Front album. Music From The Home Front is so much more than just a soundtrack or compilation album – the songs are unique, live, in-iso recordings from the hugely successful Anzac Day concert of the same name, and the album features stellar performances from Jimmy Barnes, Crowded House, Vance Joy, Guy Sebastian, Paul Kelly and many, many more. The 27-track release is book-ended by a welcome speech from Michael Gudinski, and a performance of ‘The Last Post’ on bugle by James Morrison.

The event was conceived and created by Michael Gudinski who said today:

“I’m humbled and proud to receive this #1 award from ARIA on behalf of all the incredible artists who stepped up at the eleventh hour and delivered for Music From The Home Front, Support Act, the RSL and all the front line workers. I want to thank them all, and I’m also immensely proud of the Mushroom Team, Channel 9 and of course all the media that helped promote this most significant event. Music From The Home Front is in the top 5 moments of my life and I will never forget this unprecedented event that will remain etched in Australian music history.”    
Music From The Home Front saw an unprecedented line up of 50+ of the most iconic musicians in Australia and New Zealand come together with incredible live-streamed performances – filmed in lockdown – to commemorate our nation’s rich Anzac history and pay respect to the frontline workers fighting COVID-19. With 1.4 million TV viewers, and millions more watching on social media, the album’s rush-release became a priority. A special highlights program was also screened nationally by the 9 Network this past week.

The Music From The Home Front album has been available on double CD and digital download from last Friday. The strictly limited edition triple vinyl will be released on 31 July. It will be pressed on 180g premium vinyl, presented in an individually numbered deluxe gatefold sleeve and signed by Michael Gudinski. It is available to pre-order now.

All proceeds from sales will be donated to Support Act.

Mushroom Group would like to thank the many businesses and organisations who donated their services for Music From The Home Front.

ETE MURRAY SHARES NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO ‘FOUND MY PLACE’

PETE MURRAY SHARES NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO ‘FOUND MY PLACE’

by the partae June 26, 2020
written by the partae

One of Australia’s most loved singer songwriters, Pete Murray has today shared his driving new single Found My Place, a commanding song about offering wisdom to your kids.  The contemplative track is accompanied by a video shot in isolation in Pete’s hometown of Byron Bay that fittingly features his wife and daughter, a gallant move for the habitually guarded artist.

“Know who you are, just know who you are, trust that your compass won’t lead you astray. Just know that home is your heart and your heart’s where I’ve found my place,” Pete croons in that smooth, soulful and familiar voice.

Found My Place was co-written with Gavin Slate in Nashville and recorded with Canadian-born Byron local, Garrett Kato in Byron Bay. Taking sonic inspiration from artists such as JJ Cale and Frank Ocean, the introspective track exudes a warmth and charm that is buoyed by its strong and important message.

Pete explains, “Found my place is about passing on the wisdom of life to someone you love. If you trust your own instinct and stay true to yourself, then life will be fine. It was actually inspired by my own journey in life that I’m passing on to my kids now.”

Filmed and edited by fellow Byron locals, Mos & Co, the video features Pete and his young family on a local beach as the sun sets, perfectly complementing the heartfelt song with the typically private artist offering fans a glimpse into his private life.  Pete explains, “This was a last minute decision to get my wife Mira and daughter Saachi in for the shoot. I’m very protective of my family and keep my family life very private. We thought of just using Mira and Saachi as background silhouette shots, but when we we filmed on the day Saachi came in to shot out of nowhere and did this cute little dance. Once we saw this we knew it had to be in the final edit. The song is about giving wisdom to your kids, so this was perfect in the end.”

The quiet achiever of Australian music is committed to constantly growing and evolving as an artist and gets a thrill from offering fans new and exciting material with each release.  One of few artists with over one million album sales under his belt, Pete isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.  With an impressive haul of robust singles and two EP’s set for release over the next 12 months, this is an artist who is in it for his fans and the music and not necessarily the accolades, jesting, “I hold the record at the ARIA’s for the most nominations never to win.  17 nominations with 0 wins. This effectively makes me the biggest loser in the history of the ARIA’s! Funnily enough it’s actually something I’m really proud.”

Found My Place is released today via Sony Music Entertainment Australia.

Emerging talent Benjamin Trillado graces us with beautiful new single ‘Worth’ + live performances

by the partae June 26, 2020
written by the partae

Known for his heart-wrenching lyrics and unapologetic candour, Melbourne-based singer songwriter Benjamin Trillado combines the story-telling elements of folk with the gritty angst of indie-rock. Following the release of his successful debut single ‘Glue’ and 2019 follow-up ‘First Kiss’, Benjamin is back with yet another melodic stunner on his new track ‘Worth’.

Released today, ‘Worth’ sees Benjamin teaming up with acclaimed producer Jono Steer (Angie McMahon) and Grammy-nominated mastering engineer Joe Carra, for his most honest track yet. An empowering search for self-love and acceptance as a queer person, the track’s restrained production allows space for Benjamin’s ethereal voice to weave through delicate guitar work and tug directly at the heartstrings.

“This song is about understanding your own self-value and accepting that you deserve a place in this world. As a queer person, I grew up struggling to come to terms with my sexuality and often resented myself for it. ‘Worth’ shares the struggles I faced in accepting myself and the empowerment that lies in embracing one’s identity. This song is a love letter to the LGBTQIA+ community and goes out to anyone who needs a reminder to love and accept themselves for who they truly are.” – Benjamin Trillado

Raised in a Filipino household where karaoke was family religion, Benjamin was constantly surrounded by music. At the age of 12, he wiped off the dust from his father’s guitar and spent the majority of his childhood writing songs in his bedroom. He continued to study music into his tertiary years and was mentored by singer/songwriter Ainslie Wills and Killing Heidi’s Jesse Hooper.

With an extensive vocal range that can seamlessly shift between a powerful call to arms or a comforting whisper, Benjamin Trillado has left rooms full of rowdy punters speechless with his effortless delivery and humble stage presence. He has spent the past year playing countless shows in Melbourne and Sydney plus a festival appearance at Newport Folk Festival, garnering a dedicated fan base in tow. So, pour yourself a cuppa, sit back and soak in the ethereal wonder of Benjamin Trillado’s latest single ‘Worth’ and be sure to stay tuned for more to come from this artist on the rise.

GOLDING RELEASE GLISTENING ISOLATION-ANTHEM ‘ALONE.TOGETHER.’

by the partae June 26, 2020
written by the partae

“Alone. Together. provides a bit of a different spin on all the isolation-born records we’ve heard so far in the past few months. Instead of dwindling on the negatives, it instead almost-romanticises it in a way, pairing some incredibly sweet vocals with a gentle collection of rhythms and harmonies” – PILERATS

“Golding encouraging you to loosen the shackles for a night with this very slinky good time.” – Dave Ruby Howe (triple j)

Australian Indie-Electronic duo, Golding, have released their sophomore single ‘Alone.Together.’ – a paradoxical isolation anthem highlighting the blissful side of being locked down with loved ones.

The track came together serendipitously when vocalist Jay Bainbridge was singing off the cuff to his wife during a boozy night in lock down. “It was in a moment with my wife, we were just having fun and enjoying each other in a really normal and natural way. It was weird though because whilst I was fully in the moment with her, I was also able to be outside the moment and realise how relatable and real this same situation must be for so many other people.”

Instantly recognising the track’s potential, Jay rushed to his phone to record the hook. Golding’s other half, Matt Bartlem (previously produced for the likes of Matt Corby, Boo Seeka & Jarryd James), brought the vision to life with his signature production.

With a meticulosity composed sound that draws inspiration from artists such as Alt-J & Phoenix, the duo specialise in dreamy indie-dance that pays homage to the old-school with a subtle nod to a new era.

SUPPORT FOR 'NERVOUS BREAKDOWN' "It's timely and brilliant, and with plenty more on the way, we can't help but feel this is going to be another decade lush with the charm and excitement of one of Australia's best bands, ten years after their journey all started." - Pilerats (AUS) “A colourful animated clip which captures the song’s energy in adorable fashion.” - Cool Accidents (AUS) “Can you be surfing on a party wave whilst also having a nervous breakdown? sure sounds like it on this new Philly Jays one.” - 4/5 stars - Declan Byrne – triple j (AUS) “Philly Jays back and bouncing around the eardrums with this anxious surf pop song.” - 4/5 stars - Dave Ruby Howe – triple j (AUS) Following on from the release of their critically praised single ‘Nervous Breakdown’, Aussie indie legends Philadelphia Grand Jury have revealed the accompanying video clip – directed by Erin McBean. Using the illustrations of Luke Arnold, the artist behind the track’s single artwork, the clip is an amalgamation of his pieces, animated by Erin McBean. Remarkably, Erin only learned animation during the current COVID lockdown period, showcasing a charming collection of visuals that complement the song perfectly. Front man Simon Berckelman talks about the process behind the clip: "Erin taught herself to animate during COVID. Her background is film production, in particular documentaries, so it was a pretty wild ride watching it come together. She's a real badass boss woman. After working with Luke on the art for last year's single "$10k", once we finished 'Nervous Breakdown' we were desperately hoping he would say yes to working with us again. His art basically says everything we think, but before we think it and in a much better way.” The trio’s releases have been widely embraced by Apple Music, NME (UK), Clash (UK), Sydney Morning Herald, The Daily Telegraph, The Age, Pilerats, Channel V, Cool Accidents, Music Feeds, The Music and a host of others.

The band’s debut album ‘Hope Is For Hopers’ reached No. 34 on the ARIA Album Charts and was nominated for a J Award. Single ‘Going to the Casino’ won an AIR award for ‘Best Independent Single or EP’, with triple j Unearthed awarding them a slot in 2009’s Big Day Out. This support continued with single ‘The Good News’ also coming in at No. 57 in the that year’s triple j’s Hottest 100, and a performance on the station’s iconic segment Like a Version. In the live arena the trio have sold out multiple national headline tours and performed with contemporaries Franz Ferdinand, Manchester Orchestra, Megan Washington and Art vs Science, as well as playing world renowned festivals The Great Escape (UK), Live At Leeds (UK), Splendour in the Grass, Laneway Festival, Big Day Out and Fall Festival. ‘Nervous Breakdown’ is available worldwide now through Normal People Making Hits Click to view 'Nervous Breakdown' FOLLOW PHILADELPHIA GRAND JURY FACEBOOK | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM | SOUNDCLOUD | SPOTIFY | APPLE MUSIC

ANDREA VALLE Releases new Lovergirl EP

by the partae June 26, 2020
written by the partae

With high praise from i-D, Paper, Notion, Fader and more, and a sound that melds neo-soul, R&B, and a love for Erykah Badu and Ella Fitzgerald, Andrea Valle has served up seven new contenders for song of the summer. Today, the Philly-based songstress drops her sophomore EP Lovergirl via b4 / Remote Control. The seven-song EP includes recently released single ‘Wild,’ which Zane Lowe called “an absolute stunner” on his Beats 1 show, Nylon praised as “sensual and glistening,” and whose video is an otherworldly digital get down directed by Sarah Nicole Francois.

On Lovergirl, Valle expands on her blueprints that “sit in the sweet spot between R&B and neo-soul” (i-D) and her masterwork of lovelorn lyrics. Themes of love, closure and self-worth run through the 7-track EP, almost entirely penned by Valle save for a feature from Brooklyn rapper AJRadico.

‘Wild’ is the lead single from the Lovergirl EP. Valle explains of the single. “It’s saying: are you meeting my standards? Are you meeting my worth? This is what I need and what I require to be in this love.” The track was produced by acclaimed duo Nicky Davey. “Making the track with them was so surreal,” she recalls. “The vibe in the studio sat with me and carried its way through.”

BECCA MANCARI New album The Greatest Part out today

BECCA MANCARI New album The Greatest Part out today

by the partae June 26, 2020
written by the partae

PRAISE FOR THE GREATEST PART

“Shimmering…pointillist…skittering…and serrated-edge.” – Rolling Stone

“Even as she delves into devastating and dark subject matter throughout, Mancari often twists them into songs filled with hopefulness.” – Them. 

“Artist of the Month…Fantastic…Akin to Cate Le Bon or Aldous Harding” – Consequence of Sound

“Along with Hayley Williams’ recent debut solo album Petals For Armor [and Brittany Howard’s Jaime], it completes a trifecta of emotionally vulnerable albums by three of Nashville’s most audacious pop stars.” – GRAMMY.com

“Raw and intrepid” – Paste

“Storytelling that’s as captivating as the song’s hummable refrain.” – BrooklynVegan

“Lyrics are a raw but subtle gut-punch” – Nashville Scene  

“A hypnotic and atmospheric song that plays with elements of rock, psych, folk and more… A mix between Sharon Van Etten and St. Vincent”  – We All Want Someone To Shout For 

Today, Becca Mancari releases her new album The Greatest Part via Captured Tracks / Remote Control, her first project with the label. The deeply personal album navigates the tender crevices of Nashville-based Mancari’s origins, greeting past traumas head on with vivid, unflinching melodies and Becca’s crystalline voice. The album has already earned high praise from Rolling Stone, NPR and GRAMMY.com, who call Mancari one of Nashville’s “most audacious pop stars” alongside Hayley Williams and Brittany Howard. The album includes recently released singles ‘Hunter,’ ‘First Time’ and ‘Lonely Boy.’ To celebrate the album’s release, Becca will perform a livestreamed convert from Grimeys in Nashville tomorrow at 9.30am AEST via Becca’s Facebook and YouTube pages. Both Natalie Prass and Julien Baker will join Becca on stage to sit in on the performance of new songs from The Greatest Part.

Mancari says of The Greatest Part,

“I started writing The Greatest Part at the end of 2018. I was completely exhausted from non-stop touring for over two years and I was struggling to find a vision for the future. I was basically at my rock bottom, but just before the point of breaking, something happened. Melodies and words started coming to me out of nowhere, as if these new songs were given to me. I started to notice that I hadn’t really told my story of coming out yet, or grieved this experience in my life, and I think for a lot of people who have experienced trauma when they were young only know how to survive day by day. This record is about not running from the past anymore, and it’s about having the courage to step out into the bright and beautifully unknown future. Instead of all the heaviness and pain, the greatest part of life is actually living it, and being able to have joy and grief holding your hand at the same time and living through it to see another day.”
