EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: SUPEREGO - 'Nautilus' EP

27/4/2020

 
Picture
WA hip-hop collective SUPEREGO have released their sophomore EP, Nautilus.

Nautilus is a journey through the dark, choppy waters of SUPEREGO’s unified psyche. Exploring themes of isolation, depression and anxiety, the group pulled on the collaborative talents of Sampa The Great and Cruz Patterson (Koi Child) to bring their concepts to life. Nautilus sees the collective move on from their earlier rocky, guitar-driven sound to a darker, glitchier, electronic palette.

SUPEREGO explain, "Nautilus represents us at those times when we were most introverted and in our shells. Fighting rips of depression and anxiety, finding our identity and searching for the strength in ourselves to keep swimming. The creation of Nautilus was an incredibly cathartic experience and while the songs on this EP are often raw, honest and intense, they helped us come to terms with a lot of things and grow both individually and as a collective. Through our combined creative energy we’ve managed to channel all the inner turmoil into this EP, be there for one another, move forward and evolve. We’ve been truly blessed by the features on this EP and all those behind the scenes who’ve helped this project come to fruition. This is the best thing that we have created yet. We are super proud!"
​

Nautilus not only displays SUPEREGO's ability to eloquently explain the intricacies of defining one's identity but propels the collective's signature sounds to new heights. 

Release: March 25th, 2020, Independent
Words: Here For Good

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: RVG - 'Feral'

20/4/2020

 
Picture
Melbourne’s RVG return with their highly-anticipated second album, Feral. Following their beloved 2017 debut A Quality of Mercy, RVG perform the tricky alchemy of combining rock’s urgency, punk’s anarchy, and pop’s empathy to create a record that feels vital. Feral is a catharsis, a call to arms, and a forthright indictment of contemporary complacency. To Romy Vager, RVG’s lead singer and lyricist, to feel feral is to feel outside of everything. Throughout this album that feeling of isolation is incited, but it never feels hopeless: these songs channel the raw energy of despair and frustration into melodies that often feel victorious, perhaps only because they so aptly supply a soundtrack to the end of days.

Feral was recorded at Head Gap studios with producer Victor Van Vugt (PJ Harvey, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Beth Orton). Internationally renowned, Van Vugt currently resides in Berlin, Germany and travelled to Melbourne to work with RVG. One of the producer’s key tenets is a sense of spontaneity, of capturing the essence of a song’s live performance, a concern that RVG prize above all else when recording. The band recorded the album’s instrumentals live to track, allowing their playing to be infused with the kind of electricity that has seen the band’s live show lauded across Australia and internationally. 
​

Vager’s lyrics are concerned, as ever, with the state of the world around her. That said, these are not laments or elegies. Instead, the songs on Feral often feel like exorcisms. Vager isn’t afraid to inhabit voices other than her own as a way of thinking through the world around her. 


Feral is RVG’s first full-length release in three years, and marks the beginning of an exhilarating new era for the band. Both a cry for help and a call to action, this is an album that demands your attention.

Release: Our Golden Friend, April 24th, 2020

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Yaeji - 'What We Drew 우리가 그려왔던'

13/4/2020

 
Picture
NYC-via-Seoul electronic producer, DJ, and vocalist Yaeji has released her mixtape WHAT WE DREW 우리가 그려왔던 via XL Recordings / Remote Control. 

WHAT WE DREW 우리가 그려왔던 was produced entirely by Yaeji. Over the course of the past two years, she started writing the music with no specific narrative in mind, each track becoming a snippet of her life, a look into her diary. This total sense of freedom in her newly-built design and recording studio in Brooklyn allowed her to draw on a wide range of sounds, including the Korean indie rock and electronica that she listened to as a teenager in Seoul, and the late ’90s and early 2000s hip hop and R&B she grew up listening to. The guests featured on the project represent her community in New York City and beyond. Although the mixtape is much indebted to Yaeji's newfound laser focused creative vision and self-taught production work, it’s largely informed by her network of close-knit collaborators and friends.

Since the release of Yaeji's 2017 EP’s (Yaeji and EP2), which broke her out as one of the most exciting new voices in dance music, she’s produced remixes for Charlie XCX and Robyn, sold out two headlining worldwide tours, and was included on the BBC's Sound of 2018 list. In the midst of her swift rise, she has remained devoted to New York’s underground dance music scene; in 2019, Yaeji curated and organized Elancia, a massive Brooklyn warehouse rave where she gave her favorite local parties headlining slots. An artist who many pegged as the one to watch, Yaeji now aims beyond expectations, with an eye toward the worlds of music production, visual art, game design and more.

Release: April 2nd, 2020, XL Recordings/Remote Control

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Snowy Band - 'Audio Commentary'

6/4/2020

 
Picture
Liam 'Snowy' Halliwell has been one of Melbourne’s busiest musicians over the past decade. He’s written and played on more songs and in more bands in Melbourne, than anyone would care to write or read, however his new project SB (Snowy Band) might be his finest and most sincere work to date.
 
Self-produced and self-recorded, 'Audio Commentary'  is a work that Halliwell laboured over and sees his craft refined to its absolute finest. Perfectly matching the heartbreakingly sincere lyrical content, with beautifully crafted, spacious instrumental arrangements and ethereal vocal interplay, ‘Audio Commentary’  is an emotive record that’s entirely captivating.
 
To pull the project together, Halliwell enlisted the help of friends Emma Russack, Nat Pavlovic (Dianas) & Dylan Young (Way Dynamic), each of whom bring a complimentary piece to the band, both recorded and live.
 
Release: March 27th, 2020, Spunk Records/Osborne Again
