EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Emma Anglesey - 'Some Things Can't Be Undone'

30/7/2018

 
Picture
Tasmanian Emma Anglesey's debut album, Some Things Cannot Be Undone, is an intimate reflection on life changing moments that cannot be erased.  To celebrate its release, Emma will be hitting the road in August, travelling to Melbourne, Callala Bay, Canberra, and NSW, before heading home to shows in Hobart and Launceston in September.

Produced by Joshua Barber (Gotye, Archie Roach, Gretta Ray) and recorded at his studio The Barbershop in Melbourne, Some Things Can’t Be Undone feels like the kind of album songwriters themselves will listen to for inspiration.  On the making of the album Josh said, “I met Emma at a small folk festival in Tasmania and she was one of the stand-out writers I heard there, so I told her I’d love to work with her.  Emma’s songs are thematically articulate, with visual and almost tactile lyrics that I really enjoyed working to and selecting sounds that build towards these emotional environments." 

Emma elaborates on the process and inspiration behind this collection of songs, “Some Things Can't Be Undone is the name of one of the songs on the album.  It felt right for it to be the album name because it's a concept that seems so simple and so profound to me, and one that weaves through all the songs and connects them.  Our lives are full of amazing, terrible, virtuous or treacherous moments, that can never be undone.  For me, the idea of Some Things Can't Be Undone truly acknowledges and celebrates these moments for all the incredible passion, excitement, regret and pain they have given us and then sets ourselves free of them.”

Release: June 29th, 2018, Independent

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Happy Axe - 'Dream Punching'

23/7/2018

 
Picture
Happy Axe is Canberra-based multi-instrumentalist and musical polymath Emma Kelly, who weaves layers of vocals, violin and musical saw into a vibrant fever dream on debut album Dream Punching. 

Listening to Dream Punching is a hypnotic experience. Deft melodies and atmospheric loops cascade and fold themselves around you. Entrancing patterns form and then dissolve.

“This music for me ties into memories of my childhood,” says Emma. “I think my parents liked plants more than people, but that meant we always lived in these really beautiful faraway places - like Belmore Falls, a rainforest-like place way out in a national park. It was the most beautiful untouched place where you could walk to these amazing waterfalls and bits of forest that nobody else knew about or ever went near. It intrigues me to think about that time, and when I write music it often takes me back there. It’s a magical feeling to bring the past back into the now.”
 
Emma lists Debussy and Moderat as equal inspirations, alongside provocative auteurs such as Björk and David Lynch. The album’s organic sonic landscapes comfortably sit alongside the earthy experimentation of Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith or even the ethereal pop of Julianna Barwick - but Emma has developed a personal and unique sound all of her own.

“For me, this album is also about wanting to challenge the everyday patterns and expectations that are put on us by society and sometimes by the people in our lives. I want to invite adventurousness or even a kind of defiance - a confidence to break out of expectations and do or be something different.”

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: serpentwithfeet - 'soil

16/7/2018

 
Picture
serpentwithfeet is an experimental R&B/gospel vocalist and performance artist whose growing body of work is rooted in duelling obsessions with the ephemeral and the everlasting – key components of his artistic journey from a childhood stint as a choirboy in Baltimore through his time at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where he studied vocal performance before relocating to New York City. soil is a return to the sensibilities and wide-eyed curiosity of his musical youth before symmetry and sterile soundscapes ruled the roost. With the release of his debut album, soil, the chameleonic serpentwithfeet (born Josiah Wise) rediscovers and ultimately returns to the unhinged version of himself he was sure he had outgrown.

On soil, serpentwithfeet trades glossolalia and peacocking showmanship for intricately layered harmonies, a sumptuous bottom register that appears for the first time to challenge his fluttering tenor, and ballsy sonic experimentation encouraged by Gately, whose talent he describes as “making voices sound like elephants and elephants sound like car engines.” Together they develop an unctuous sound that suggests billowing clouds and the dense, plodding stomp of 12-bar blues. Once concerned with perfect execution of gospel runs and dishing up a gossamer falsetto, serpentwithfeet is out of balance and reveling in the concept of mess on soil. Particularly, what it means to part ways with sterility and the urge to uncoil himself in order to occupy more space. soil is the moment at which he unfolds himself with zero intention of closing back up.

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: East Brunswick All Girls Choir - 'Teddywaddy'

9/7/2018

 
Picture
Teddywaddy is a slumbering patch of country just off the Calder Highway in northwest Victoria, now mostly farmland. It sits 90 minutes from Bendigo, where East Brunswick All Girls Choir frontman Marcus Hobbs grew up, and he knows the drive all too well from regular visits there to see his father’s family. It’s also the namesake of the Melbourne ensemble’s long-awaited second album.
 
Alongside Hobbs who pens the songs is bassist/keyboardist Rie Nakayama, drummer Jen Sholakis and guitarist Rob Wrigley. Co-produced with Anna Laverty (Courtney Barnett, The Peep Tempel), the album is etched deeply with contrasts. For every spacious swath of majesty, there’s ample punked-up exorcism to match.
 
Following on from their 2014 Australian Music Prize-long listed Seven Drummers, Teddywaddy is the most profound and riotous statement of the band’s career, anchored at every turn by the ragged glory of Hobbs’ eruptive singing and the piercing details of his lyrics.

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Mares - 'Wherewithal'

2/7/2018

 
Picture
Mares make the kind of music you’ll want to put on at dusk on a road trip through expansive landscapes. They play with a distinct connection to their Australian context, with bold vocals and picturesque sounds that teeter between light and dark, wonder and discontent. 

Inspired by the music of Rowland S Howard, PJ Harvey and The Triffids, Mares fuse the restlessness of inner-city Melbourne with imagery of oceans and rural bush-scapes. Their driving bass, arching guitars and intricate pace offer a glimpse into the expansion that exists outside of the city, in open landscapes.

Having captivated audiences throughout their first four years of existence, Mares have performed alongside the likes of Mere Women, Ouch My Face, No Sister and more. Now they are ready to emerge from the shadowy depths of the Melbourne music scene with the release of their debut album. 

Release: June 1st, 2018, Psychic Hysteria
