Who I'd like to meet: AKA SENSORY PROJECTS label releases:
MUM SMOKES- 'Easy / House Music'(SRP060)
Formed by Jonathan Michell (The Ancients) in 2003, MUM SMOKES were originally a three-piece. Now the band comprises of four songwriters; Michell, Karl Scullin (KES Band), Julian Patterson (Minimum Chips) and - member since 2006 - Justin Fuller (ZOND).
Easy / House Music is the second release from MUM SMOKES. Easy / House Music follows on from the band's 2005 debut, Railroads, Chasms and Fantasies.
Easy and House Music are two albums made available as one release; the package comprising 31 tracks, the 2 discs nestled in a lovely recycled card wallet with artwork for both albums by Mark Rodda and 2 fold-out posters including full track details.
Easy and House Music were recorded at home in Melbourne by MUM SMOKES and mastered by Casey Rice(Tortoise, Dirty Three, Pan.American et al.). Easy was recorded between January 2006 and March 2007, and House Music was recorded between August 2007 and September 2008. The albums are considered by MUM SMOKES to be separate albums coming from distinct periods and distinct recording sessions. Mum Smokes
THE DECLINING WINTER– ‘Goodbye Minnesota’ (SRP059)
The solo project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds, England, he co-founder of HOOD.
Goodbye Minnesota delivers hypnotic melancholia via abstract hip-hop, shoe-gaze, dub, and electronic folk, with spectral atmospheres anchored to pastoral roots. The Declining Winter CHILDREN OF THE WAVE – Carapace (SRP047)
Their debut album; filled with experiments in pop, ethnic-melds, field recordings, and cinematic abstractures. Think Animal Collective, Mum, Grand Salvo, Tuung, Eno, and Juana Molina. ‘Children of the Wave are a two-piece comprising a music writer and a producer, and in Carapace, they’ve made a strange and remarkable album, one that’s every bit as beautiful as a burst of sunshine on a winter landscape.’ Tom Hawking - INPRESS
“Carapace seeps into the real world and exudes a vibrancy that’s simply astonishing to behold.” Alexandra Savvides – CYCLIC DEFROST
Children of the Wave
THE SUN BLINDNESS – Like pearly clouds (SRP058)
Onward with the debut album from The Sun Blindness. Already having found a fanbase on-line, The Sun Blindness finally release their widescreen debut, Like Pearly Clouds; an album drenched in dreamy psychedelia, druggy, droning landscapes, and infused with Beach Boys-infected harmonies. “This is a remarkable album.” INPRESS
“..one of the best psychedelic albums of the 2000’s..” INPRESS
“Anything that sounds like early Spiritualized is absolutely OK with us.” – INPRESS
“Like Pearly Clouds is an album of glittering psychedelic quality.” Patrick Emery - BEAT
“This Melbourne duo has created a remarkable, ornate, and detailed psychedelic suite of songs that shimmer and melt in the mind.” Stephen Walker – THE AGE on-line
The Sun Blindness
THE RECTIFIERS – Playtime for John Mountain (SRP056)
Five years on from their hugely acclaimed second album ‘Wear The Weight Of The Resting Sky’, ‘Playtime for John Mountain’ is The Rectifiers' most ambitious and accomplished work to date and signals the return of one of Melbourne's most singular and ahead-of-the-curve bands, emboldened with a beatific new musical and lyrical vision. ***** JASON WALKER - MAG
“Brilliant, inventive & timeless soul stirring pop!” - NORMAN RECORDS(UK)
“With the eclectic pop sensibility of The Flaming Lips and the sun-drenched harmonies of The Beach Boys, the third album from this Melbourne band is a gem.” Alex Fregon - MX
The Rectifiers
PANOPTIQUE ELECTRICAL - Let the darkness at you (SRP057)
Panoptique Electrical is Jason Sweeney, best known for his work as part of Pretty Boy Crossover.
‘Let the darkness at you’ collects instrumental pieces recorded by Sweeney for film, animated film, and theatre performances, in various towns and cities between 1998 and 2008; Sweeney capturing a shimmering introspection through the manipulation of pianos, and computers.
‘Let the darkness at you’ is perfect for fans of Eluvium, Stars Of The Lid, Brian Eno, and Fennesz. ‘This is experiential music, tightly crafted, gentle, warm and beautiful. It's experimental ambient music, the kind of music that elevates the listener and changes everything for the better.’ BOB BAKER FISH – INPRESS
Panoptique Electrical
‘TINGLING CHEEKS ARE LOVE’ -a Sensory Projects compilation- (SRP055)
This double CD label compilation features 33 tracks over two discs, some previously released thru Sensory Projects, others unreleased and exclusive to ‘Tingling Cheeks Are Love’.
CANON BLUE – Colonies (SRP051)
Canon Blue AKA Daniel James, wrote, recorded, and played almost every instrument on his debut album, Colonies. Colonies is a record that defies its ‘bedroom artist’ origins; covering a range of emotions with its wonderfully textured, sizzling, and gritty electro art-rock. Mixed by Chris Taylor(Grizzly Bear) and mastered by Cristian Vogel, Colonies staunchly refuses to be pinpointed.
****The Australia/New Zealand release of Canon Blue’s Colonies comes complete with 4 brand additional tracks lifted off Canon Blue’s previously download-only Halcyon EP. Canon Blue
THE SAND PEBBLES - Ceduna (SRP053)
For their fourth album, The Sand Pebbles shook off the modern world and went to a place where the desert meets the sea. They spent two weeks away from civilization, their provisions being rather minimal; a little food, water, and some psychedelics, and with this in hand they explored the terrain in a town called Ceduna. ‘Dripping with summer haze and '60's psychedelia... It's great stuff, warm and floaty and one of those records you chuck on and kick back to..’-ZAN ROWE, TRIPLE J (CATCH OF THE DAY)
‘A gloriously woozy dreamscape of transportive psychedelia’-BERNARD ZUEL, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
