The Tobacconists 7"

The music of Scott Foust and Frans De Waard, out on Scott’s Swill Radio label.

I’m totally charmed.  In the ships basement, slow lurch, there’s something happening in the laboratory. Experiment with scarfs at certain angles on beautiful mannequins, the scientists are in casual wear……………. They break to kneel and hymn, under the feeling they got from the ritual of their game. This is such a fuckin great sound, what more to say? $$13

Orca Team "Orca Team EP" Cassette

Soulful Pop music. Great rhythms. Drums, bass, guitar, and male sung vocals. Space in the songs, especially in the guitar playing. Nicely recorded too. Kinda makes me think a Phil Spector band but modern, and a bit quieter. Eggy number 13. $$6

Ryan Garbes 7" and new things

This is really nice. Relaxing sounds that are doing me good right now. drums and keyboard wander along the street eyeing all the adornments of the day. the vocals roll down the slippery slope at Wet n Wild back when i was a kid. After a few listens i can feel this record starting to crawl over me slowly like im asleep on the creaky couch and someones pulling the blanket over me, tucking me in. A meditation record, yeah! $$10

Other new things are the Kommissar Hjuler Und Frau/Idm thfftable split tape which i've listened to once and is crazy, + new goaty and eggy batches

The C&B "1991 pre Shadow Ring recordings" 7inch

Its all too perfect, big thanks to silt breeze for sending us these. 4 songs recorded by Darren Harris and Graham Lambkin in Cheriton, Kent in 1991. $$12

Taco Leg 'Freemasons Hall' 7inch

Here we go, Australia has some great punk experiment energy. They wouldn’t admit it but this band is arty. Andrew sits into his vocal pitch and drills his lyrics in and it effects like nothing before, especially with the extremely repeated yet carefully varied guitar and drum constructions, it comes together at the taco leg. Architecture meets jam energy… Seeing the songs live on their recent visit to Melbourne ruled so hard. Ten times better than the recordings and this is one of my favourite records. There’s an urgency yet complacency in this band which caused the energy that led to me anticipating the record and tour so much that when I did see them play it was a huge buzz. Can’t wait to see where taco leg or any of their perth mates go soon. Sunbathing in Squalor closes the record in style. This 7” is a beautiful, charming listen. $$10

Tyvek 'Mary Ellen Claims' 7inch

Tyvek are a nice punk band. They seem to know how to throw a party for everyone. They like to jam and make an energy. The way the singer sings is really nice too, writes great lyrics and draws nice things on the cover of the record. Mary Ellen Claims is quite restrained, one of the most charming Tyvek songs I’ve heard. B side is a car ride down through lilydale, a simple song that explains a lot. $$10
