EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: M.O.o.N - Clinically Blasé

29/5/2017

 
Picture
​Boston based producer M.O.O.N. (also known as Stephen Gilarde) has spent years putting out self released music. Now he has signed to the Friends Of Friends label and has released a new album called Clinically Blasé. 

Influenced by house, boogie and synth pop, the album is split into three parts that explore variations on similar themes and shared sounds recording live percussion, guitar, piano, and bass in addition to software instruments and classic analog synth gear. It navigates a wide range of emotive synthesizer music deviating from dance-geared tropes, in favor of freer arrangements and lush instrumentation.

"Clinically Blasé" never tips it's hand stylistically in any particular direction resulting in a playful balance of retro sounds and futuristic ideas highlighting a deft melodic sensibility.

The sequencing ties together 'Clinically Blase' into a compelling journey, ebbing and flowing in energy, timbre, and tempo much like a thoughtful, continuous DJ mix.

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Bad//Dreems - Gutful

22/5/2017

 
Picture
​Gutful" is Bad//Dreems’ sophomore LP. Working again with the production team of Mark Opitz and Colin Wynne at their West Brunswick studio over the latter half of 2016, ‘Gutful’ is 11 tracks of literate Antipodean rock and roll anthems that refines the powerful sound we heard on their debut record "Dogs at Bay."

But the world has changed dramatically in the year since and throughout "Gutful," Bad//Dreems have brilliantly captured the anger, fear and frustration felt by so many of us. The debut single from the record "Mob Rule" paints a disturbing picture of a modern Australian dystopia, underpinned by the ugliness of the angry mob. The acerbic title track "Gutful" speaks for itself.

The sound of the record will be familiar to those who have witnessed Bad//Dreems live.  Essentially tracked live, ragged garage guitars are underpinned by a rocksteady groove James Bartold (bass) and Miles Wilson (drums). Ben Marwe’s voice is more vivid and visceral than before.

In case you missed it...

The Meltdown - Saturday 10am-12pm
Oz was lucky enough to chat with local band Aon Stalp and the Out of Towners ahead of their very last show. While we're sad to see them hang up their instruments as the Out of Towners, at least we got to chat with them one last time.

The Ride - Wednesday 6-7pm
Pete's always got super special trash culture treats for you every Wednesday evening. He was lucky enough to interview Jade Imagine. They talk about everything from Dan Kelly's guitar to all the sounds and influences she like to work into her music.

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: GIRLPOOL - POWERPLANT

15/5/2017

 
Picture
​Over 10 days in August 2016, Girlpool holed up at Los Angeles' Comp-ny studios to record and mix Powerplant with Drew Fischer. For the first time, Harmony and Cleo were joined by a third performer, drummer Miles Wintner, a friend who easily meshed with the tight-knit duo. The decision to add percussion came as a natural decision for Harmony and Cleo.

The 12 tracks that comprise Powerplant grow and burn with greater fire than the duo have possessed before. Both bandmates were heavily inspired by Elliott Smith, the Cranberries, the Cocteau Twins, Brian Eno, Arthur Russell, and Graham Nash; the influence of each appear in the record's deliberate and intricate guitar work ("Fast Dust," "She Goes By") as well as its embrace of dissonant noise ("Corner Store," "Soup"). Though they were living apart for most of the writing process, the pair still managed to write all but four songs together, another testament to their dedication to Girlpool and each other. Now 21 and 20, Harmony and Cleo confront projections, despondency, apathy, romanticization, love, and heartbreak with a more devastating emotional pragmatism than before.​

Edge Radio Recommended: Perfume Genius - No Shape

8/5/2017

 
Picture
Perfume Genius, also known as musician Mike Hadreas, has released his fourth album, No Shape, May 5 on Matador Records / Remote Control Records. The album was recorded in Los Angeles, produced by Blake Mills, mixed by Shawn Everett.

Perfume Genius’s 2014 breakout album Too Bright— featuring the anthem ‘Queen’ — marked a musical and performative leap for the artist. With his new songs, Hadreas goes even further, merging church music, makeout music, R&B, art pop, krautrock, and queer soul into his take on stadium anthems, completing the journey from critically praised underground hero to pop auteur.

Guest music directors for may

6/5/2017

While the cat's away the mice come out to play, or something like that... So Aeron our Music Director is off on an adventure on the other side of the world, we needed some talented ears to keep the new music playing on the airwaves. So we tapped the two Louis' (second Louis not pictured) from Faces for Radio and Pete The Ride to band together for the month of May to be Edge's Music Directors. We better ask them a few questions

​What did you think when you were asked to be guest Music Directors?
Louis: What went through my head was, sweet, not I get to tell people what to listen to.
Pete: I has no idea what work was involved in being an MD. All the cataloging and organising that goes into it. I'm amazed.

How different is it from doing your own program?
Louis: It's not that different, really. But there's way more music the sift through. The influx of new music is non stop.
Pete: It's completely different. You don't get to be anywhere near as self-indulgent.

You've been doing it for almost a week now. What's the most surprising thing you've learnt so far?
Louis: I didn't realise how diverse the music Edge gets sent to it. I think I've discovered at least ten bands that I have a hard time describing.
Pete: I've been quite surprised at how little information some press releases give us. Some waffle on and don't really manage to tell us anything about their music. Top tip artists, good press releases are essential.

That'll do for now. Thanks Pete and Louis!
