And now, we're oh-so-excited to finally share it with you! .... Retaining the unique brand of psych-pop which emerged on her debut album, ..Pikelet..'s sophomore release represents an evolution of her distinctive, loop-based sound, recorded with the ..Pikelet.. band who she has been playing live with over the past year or so. It's a truly amazing album, with aptly beautiful artwork by Celeste Potter. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Stem.. is now available instore or from ..iTunes.., released in conjunction with our friends at ..Chapter Music.., and distributed by ..Shock... .. .. ..-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.. .... ......VIA TANIA...... ..

'Champagne Glass' is the first ..Super Melody.. single, taken from the ..Life is Like Glass.. EP, which is out now in selected stores or worldwide via Apple iTunes. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .."James Cecil,...formerly the backbone of Architecture in Helsinki, local kids made good internationally, is now fronting Super Melody. On the basis of 'Champagne Glass'..., the lead track from the group's first EP, he deserves the spotlight. Opening with a cushioned percussion and dubbed-out bass, the track combines studio smarts and a live dynamic, with Cecil as the addled narrator offering wisdom only he can. Pay close attention to them next year."...... ..- The Age, 4/5 Stars.. .... Check out the brand new video, directed by Jeremy Dower, below:.... .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Super Melody - Champagne Glass.. from ..Super Melody.. on ..Vimeo..... .. .. ..-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.. .. .. ........SLEPT AWAKE.... INSTORE NOW...... .. .. .. .. After a four year hiatus, we're proud to announce Melbourne trio ..Music vs Physics.. are making their long-awaited return to the world of melodic storytelling with their new release ..Slept Awake... .... On this album, ..Music vs Physics.. take a step back from their hip-hop and break-beat history, as enshrined in previous efforts in ..Northside Perspective.. (2000), ..Underscore ..(2003) and ..Oblong Data.. (2005). Like ..Oblong Data.., however, this album contains a strong vocal presence; the voice of Rebecca Charlesworth features across the album, bringing together elements of pop, folk and blues. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Joseph Brady’s production, although grounded in the band’s hip-hop history, this time shies away from large samples to rely on a more minimalist approach to songwriting and performance. Morgan Fayle’s drumming, recorded in an old abandoned barn, lends the album more of a live feel, helping to create a distinct setting for the band’s unique mode of storytelling. .... Highlights include the first single ‘All the Pretty Little Horses’, and ‘Don’t Mess With Me’ – a pop/hip-hop hybrid and tirade of a spurned lover. .... ..Slept Awake.. is instore now, and available globally via Apple iTunes: ....... ....If you're in Melbourne, make sure to come to the album launch on 6 Feb 2010 at ..the Toff... Not to be missed!! .. ..-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.. .. ......FIRST SINGLE RELEASED FROM MVP'S UPCOMING ALBUM...... .. .. .. 'All the Pretty Horses' is the first single from ..Slept Awake.., the long awaited fourth album from ..Music vs Physics... Paring back the band's distinctive trip-hop sound, Rebecca Charlesworth's haunting vocals drift over a sparse banjo and nostalgic record crackle - a combination which creates an old-world lullaby whose unsettling undercurrent belongs very much to the present-day. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. Check out the video below:.... ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.. .. ........GOODMORNING SUN REMIX EP........ .. .. .. .. From his cut-and-paste beats to the weird-and-wonderful creatures who inhabit his artwork, the world of ..Qua.. is very much his own. So what happens when his latest single 'Good Morning Sun', lifted from Q&A, is remixed by hip-hop producer ..AOI.. and poptronica newcomers ..Shady Lane..? Or retold by ..Wagons.. as a wistful country ballad? You'll have to get the ..Good Morning Sun Remix EP.. to find out..... Available from Apple iTunes now: ....... .. .. .... .. .. .. ..-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.... ......'GOODMORNING SUN' - QUA...... .. Escape the city. Transcend reality. In the brand new video for 'Goodmorning Sun', director ..Antuong Nguyen.. takes us on a journey into the psychedelic dreamscape of a scantily clad Cornel Wilczek aka ..Qua... With character design by ..Cailan Burns.., who produced the ..Q&A.. cover art and tour posters, animation by Chris Northey, special effects by Warran Wright and Gus Kemp on camera, make sure you check out the distinctive sound and fantasy world of ..Qua.. made flesh. Well... that, and Cornel in his undies. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ..-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.. .... ......'CIRCLES' - QUA...... .. In director Gus Kemp's video for ..Qua..'s 'Circles', taken from ..Q&A.., Melbourne is transformed into a bizarre dreamsscape where the Prodigy's 'Smack my Bitch Up' and Jim Henson's ..The Muppets.. collide. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ..-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.. .. .. ......'CHANGE THE ENDING' - GASLIGHT RADIO...... .... ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.. .... ......'COMING IN FROM ALL ANGLES' - GROUND COMPONENTS...... ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.. .. -
