From Terrascopic: " More fucked noise can be found on “Should You Fear Hell?”, the debut ep from Brisbane based band AXXONN. Featuring one long drone, that starts in relaxed fashion, descends into hell, then saunters out of the other side, wiser and none the worst for its adventures; this is an engaging and worthwhile listen that benefits from a major crank in the volume department."
Before Hollywood: "...one can only imagine where they would journey given a full length release. Brisbane has been putting out a huge amount of great experimental/avant-garde/post-rock music in recent times, and Should You Fear Hell? is a great addition to that canon."
I am launching my new album BURSt through the roof this Friday at the Uber Bar, West End, Brisbane. Come party! Spcial guests Wild Marmalade, Spankinhide & DJ Dakini. 8PM $15
Brisbane outfit Toy Balloon will release their debut album Toy Division on
November 8 through Lofly Records, and to celebrate will perform an east coast
launch tour throughout November.
Formed in 2007, Toy Balloon was
originally a fledgling two-piece made up by Nimai Etheridge’s uniquely melodic
wall-of-sound guitar and Greg Cooper’s beautiful sequenced electronic
compositions. The band have since matured into a four piece featuring Chloe
Cooper (Mr Maps) on key boards and Ben Green on drums.
The album was
recorded and mixed at the Lofly Hangar in Brisbane, a DIY performance space that
Toy Balloon has been an integral part of creating. Fostering emerging artists
and left-of-centre music, the Hangar acts as a performance space, recording
studio, and meeting place; and has resulted in a record with a rich, layered
sound reminiscent of New Order, Mogwai, Boards of Canada, and LCD
Soundsystem.
Catch Toy Balloon launch Toy Division at a venue near you
this Oct/ November.
