Last Friday evening's viewing of rage was somewhat eye-opening in that one after another, great Australian tracks continued to appear. Songs and bands I had never heard of, yet given a slot in our most well-respected music program at a reasonable hour. This run was ultimately ended by Kylie Minogue's new track, however some may say that the run in fact cranked up from there... Anyhow, I thought I would display these tracks on here in video form.
Lacey - Set
Perth band Lacey have been kicking around since 2007, and, after being found on triple j Unearthed in 2009, have since released their debut EP 'Ropes' which spawned the single 'Afraid Yet?' (which also has a cracking clip, as I've found). Latest single 'Set' shows the band in a softer light, with inviting electronics and a thumping bass drum setting the scene for a track that perfectly blends acoustics and electrics.
Cogel - Aquarium
Cogel, with the help of production team ChocFish, have created some fantastic imagery with this video for 'Aquarium', a slow burner that thrives on minimalism on the whole. The track sits somewhere between David Gray and Snow Patrol in essence, though if you are not a fan of either of those artists do not feel the need to tune out. The voice of Nic Cogels carries 'Aquarium', a song that introduces Cogels to the world in sublime style.
Sky Squadron - IPQR
Another brilliantly shot clip, this one coming from young Sydney band Sky Squadron and completing the run of great new tracks this week. Beware of the wondrous twists and turns this track takes. Once the raw edge is taken away from this band, mark my words they will be something incredible.
