EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Jaala - 'Joonya Spirit'

30/4/2018

 
Picture
Through your ears, deep in your mind, down in your heart, in a way you never knew you wanted, Jaala will caress you and Jaala will entice you. Like the roots of a tree Jaala is ever growing, pruned only by themselves and never by the expectations of the public.

Since the release of Hard Hold they have transformed into a completely new animal, stylistically and literally. The addition of Carolyn Schofield (synth) of Fia Fiell has moved the band towards a more haunting, dreamy experimental pop movement as opposed to the guitar shredding melt your face prog rock vibes of yesteryear. 

Vocalist/guitarist Cosima Jaala and drummer/genius Maria Moles stand firm with their intricately woven telepathy. The ornate and ever flowing creativity is still ubiquitous, only it feels different now, rather than falling down a beautiful waterfall into a pit of demons that become your mates it’s more like your feet have been confiscated at the same time as you’ve been given the ability to fly. 

Release: April 20th, 2018, Bedroom Suck Records
Words: Bedroom Suck/Remote Control

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Ryan Downey - 'Running'

23/4/2018

 
Picture
On his jaw-droppingly beautiful debut album Running, Ryan Downey has created a musical world unlike any you’ve heard, illuminating an artist who has the power to break your heart, mend it and set it on fire, all at the same time.
 
There's something inherently classic - an elegance - to Downey's blend of pop, rock and folk. Reminiscent of Bryan Ferry or Leonard Cohen, his voice transports you somewhere deeply familiar. However, the songs are punctured and detailed by unmistakably contemporary sounds. He is an artist uniquely capable of balancing cheek and sincerity, classicism and swagger, and grandeur and restraint all within a single, composed breath.
 
Much like his music - limitations, stillness and contrast played a large part in Downey’s youth. A born entertainer, he grew up in rural Victoria on a property out of town, far from any audience. At 10 he was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis.

“I was a young boy with an old man’s body,” he explains. “There were days when I couldn’t walk and during the worst of it my hair turned grey for a while.” He matured fast and got a sense of humour about life fast too. “Being a forced bystander through those early years really bound me to my love of art, music and cinema.” 


Running
 was recorded across New York and Melbourne - at the Brooklyn studio of Zoe Randell and Steven Hassett of duo Luluc. It was produced by Hassett, who Downey met when supporting Luluc on their 2014 tour. The two quickly became friends, recognising a kinship in their musical tastes and visions. It was a perfect pairing with the two of them embarking on an intense five weeks of recording. “Steve has an amazing, innovative ear and could always understand where I wanted to take something, how to achieve it and more importantly, when to stop me making the mistake of taking it there at all.”
 
Release: April 13th, 2018, Barely Dressed Records

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: All Fires The Fire - 'Songs Of The Silent Age'

16/4/2018

 
Picture
Trances, doppelgängers, impending doom, surveillance, romantic longing. The third and final album from Hobart 5-piece All Fires the Fire, Songs of the Silent Age, has its roots in the brief halcyon days of German cinema, which began shortly after the end of WWI, ended with the coming of sound, and was preoccupied with evil, the terrors of war, greed, alienation and the rise of totalitarianism.
 
The album features the shambolic sparkling madness and pop of Postcard-era Glasgow bands, the crooning moodiness of Bowie’s Berlin records, while speaking about bloodlust, the crumbling of a familiar world and the emergence of something horrible and unhomely.


All Fires the Fire is:
Adam Ouston – vocals, synthesisers, guitar
Peter Ferguson – bass, guitar
Nina Bok – vocals, synthesisers
Adam-Carl D’Andrea – drums
Chris Wessing – guitar

Release: March 30th, 2018, Independent

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: MOD CON - 'Modern Convenience'

9/4/2018

 
Picture
The trains of thought that MOD CON — Erica Dunn (guitar, vocals), Sara Retallick (bass), and Raquel Solier (drums) — take us down on Modern Convenience follow a series of themes that question the modern world; is it a joke? A burden? A clean slate?

These lyrical cornerstones, along with the undeniable ferocity of the three-piece, make a compelling debut release. Gareth Liddiard aptly describes the band as occupying musical territory “between the Bangles and Black Flag.”

Recorded over the Easter weekend in 2017 with Liddiard at his home in the Goulburn Valley, Modern Convenience documents the band's creative alchemy and unique approach to song writing. “The isolated rural backdrop provided a perfect combination of clear-cut focus and cabin fever to get the job done,” explains Dunn.

Noisy, subversively catchy and rhythmically sophisticated, girl group/60s surf is thrown on its head in an aggressive turn of tables which leaves the listener contemplating capitalism, consumerism and the black market price of a human kidney.

Release: April 6th, Poison City Records
Words: Future Popes

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Young Fathers - 'Cocoa Sugar'

2/4/2018

 
Picture
With the release of their third album Cocoa Sugar, Young Fathers (Alloysious Massaquoi, Graham 'G' Hastings and Kayus Bankole) have presented us with something typically unique and exhilarating, but leaner, more muscular and self-assured than ever before. 

The record follows on from the group's previous two albums: 2014’s Mercury Prize-winning DEAD and 2015’s White Men Are Black Men Too. Written and recorded throughout 2017 in the band’s basement studio and HQ, Cocoa Sugar sees Young Fathers operating with a newfound clarity and direction, and is without doubt their most confident and complete statement to date.

Release: March 9th, Ninja Tune
Words: Ninja Tune/Inertia
