Utility Fog

Sunday, 8th of March, 2009

Tonight, so much new Aussie stuff it was dribbling out of our ears. In a nice way.
Starting, however, with the electro-post-prog-punk sounds of Maserati, from an excellent split 12" with Zombi (more keyboard-driven prog rock...)
Then we had an amazing old track from HTRK from the Melbourne Water 2 compilation, followed by two fantastic up-and-coming Melbourne bands, Kid Sam and Psuche.
Also tonight, I finally get around to playing Zach Condon's double-EP from Beirut and his old Realpeople project. And we have two tracks from Jasper TX's beautiful new album Singing Stones.
Later there's a long new piece of chamber music from Hauschka, and Tunng from a split 7", covering Soy Un Caballo.
Meanwhile, a whole stack of stuff from Crab Smasher member Grant Hunter's Monstera Deliciosa label, including a sizeable excerpt from the latest release, an archival live improv from Sydney's scissor lock & Melbourne's mousetrapreplica. Many awesome sounds in there, including the always-brilliant polyfox and the union of the most ghosts (another member of Crab Smasher).
And we finished up with a track from FBi's album of the week, in which Spoonbill blends acoustic funk, folktronic tendencies and dubstep's wobbly basslines into something fun and silly.
