EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Marcus Whale - 'Lucifer'

27/7/2020

 
Picture
Marcus Whale (Collarbones, BV) has released his second studio album Lucifer.

In development for four years and teased by a series of performance artworks in collaboration with artist Athena Thebus, the album mines the grand drama of good and evil from Catholicism to make a case for Lucifer, the brightest and most beautiful angel, as a light for those forsaken by God.

In the rich tradition of queer performance, Lucifer appropriates and displaces the theatrical moralism learned from a Catholic upbringing in service of imagining a world beyond its present bounds.

Extending on the orchestral scope of debut album Inland Sea (co-produced by HTRK’s Nigel Lee-Yang),
the self-produced Lucifer places the fallen angel in a strange and uncanny intersection of soundworlds, as linked to the sci-fi elasticity of contemporary club music as to 90s industrial metal or the ecclesiastical tones of an organ-accompanied church choir. At the centre of each song lies Whale’s voice, whose melodies serve as a guide through this spooky milieu.

Lucifer follows Collarbones’ 2019 album Futurity and 2016 solo album Inland Sea, both longlisted for
the Australian Music Prize and nominated for SMAC Awards. Like Inland Sea, Lucifer is paired with a written work as its physical product, a zine containing lyrics, further texts, visual works and a dialogue with collaborator Athena Thebus.

Release: July 24th, 2020, Independent
Words: Marcus Whale

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Floodlights - 'From A View'

20/7/2020

 
Picture
Melbourne four-piece Floodlights have unveiled their triumphant debut album, From A View, via Spunk Records.


Made up of members Louis Parsons, Ashlee Kehoe, Joe Draffen and Archie Shannon, Floodlights present a distinctly Australian perspective, with a shambolic, catchy sound that melds 80s alternative rock with 90s New Zealand jangle-pop.


On From A View, Floodlights sort through everyday observations, memories and notions of identity with a refreshingly plain-spoken sincerity. Weaving vivid, character-centred storytelling with spirited calls to action, the album charts the political, the personal and everything in between. It’s an album of reflection, both inward and outward looking, but also importantly of curiosity and learning.


“The ideas behind the lyrics were often prompted through conversations and interactions that took place in different settings, such as on the job site at work, in everyday life and while travelling around the country and overseas,” says lead singer and songwriter Louis Parsons. "Often these interactions helped generate perspectives that we’d speak about as a band, and I’d write lyrics about. Some of the key themes in 'From a View' revolve around identity, personal cross-roads, and the misuse of power.”

From A View follows the band's debut EP Backyard, which was re-released at the tail end of 2019 through a freshly inked deal with Spunk Records. The album is the band’s first exploration into proper studio recording with a well-regarded sound engineer. It was recorded in November 2019 over two days onto a 24 track tape machine at Head Gap studios in Preston. Legendary Nao Anzai (Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Cash Savage) engineered the album and then mixed it over the summer, with Mikey Young (Total Control, Eddie Current Suppression Ring) on board to master.

Release: July 17th, 2020, Spunk! Records

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Phoebe Bridgers - 'Punisher'

13/7/2020

 
Picture
One of the most highly anticipated albums of the year, 25-year old singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers has released her sophomore solo album, Punisher, on Dead Oceans.

Bridgers released her debut album in 2017 as a relatively unknown singer-songwriter living in Los Angeles. A little over two years later, she’s become an internationally lauded musician with three acclaimed bodies of work to her name: her solo debut, Stranger In The Alps, the boygenius EP with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus in 2018, and Better Oblivion Community Center, a surprise collaboration with Conor Oberst, in 2019. 

Bridgers is a singular talent, and also the rare artist with enough humour to deconstruct the tired heuristics of a meteoric rise. Punisher, written and recorded between the summer of 2018 and the autumn of 2019, cements her as one of the most irresistibly clever and tenderly prolific songwriters of our era. Returning to work with her Stranger In The Alps collaborators Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska, Bridgers - who co-produced the boygenius EP and Better Oblivion Community Center album - stepped into the role of co-producer for Punisher and has drawn from the same tight-knit group of musicians who appeared on her debut as well as those she has worked with since. The album includes Bridgers’ band of Marshall Vore (drums), Harrison Whitford (guitar),  Emily Restas (bass) and Nick White (piano) as well as performances from Conor Oberst, Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker, Blake Mills, Jenny Lee Lindberg, Christian Lee Hutson, Nick Zinner, legendary drummer Jim Keltner, and Bright Eyes’ Nathaniel Walcott on horns. Punisher was mixed by Mike Mogis, who also mixed Stranger In The Alps.

Release: June 19, 2020, Dead Oceans/Inertia

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Simona Castricum - 'Panic/Desire'

6/7/2020

 
Picture
Simona Castricum is one of Melbourne’s most unique underground electronic artists, DJs and producers of emotionally textured synthwave and technopop. Hers is inspired by gender and sexual nonconformity, relationships with architecture and dreamy futures of transgender cities between URL and IRL spaces. Simona’s iconic live performances are cardio-electronic percussive expressions in rubberism, smoke haze and laser beams, shared catharsis, and self-confrontation.
 
Panic/Desire is the third full length album from Simona Castricum — an allegory about gender nonconformity lived in the spaces between urban and digital realms.
 
Of the album, Simona says:
 
“Panic/Desire is the soundtrack to my experiences of the city as a gender nonconforming person; songs about how I move and navigate through the city in the night; how I find a place of belonging — somewhere between my fears and desires. Panic/Desire is about transition, resistance, empathy, and how the city, its architecture, and its relationship to tactile and virtual worlds hold archives of emotion that influence the way I move a feel about urban space.

Release: July 19th, 2020, Trans-Brunswick Express
