Tangled Star's stunning new EP That Time has just received an equally stunning review in the wonderful Losing Today zine. "...blessed with an acute ability to have you all at once marvelling aglow in subdued awe at the spectacle of their delicately calibrated caress like airy drift pop while simultaneously drawing you low amid the affecting undertow of bruised hurt..." - Losing Today Head over to Losing Today to read the review in full or check out Tangled Star's review section .

"Tangled Star 'that time' (hidden shoal). How could we honestly resist, another case of a band seemingly so far escaping the affectionate gaze of our usually slightly off tuned radar - until now that is. Led from the fore by a certain Craig Hallsworth, Tangled Star have been something of a much admired fixture on the Australian indie underground for a few years now releasing in that time a self titled debut full length and several EP's and singles the most recent being this demurring 4 track set entitled 'that time'. blessed with an acute ability to have you all [...]
Hidden Shoal Recordings have announced the release of That Time , the gorgeous new EP by the Craig Hallsworth-led Australian outfit Tangled Star . That Time features the stunning single 'seabirdtown'. The track opens with the expansive open-air sound of Pink Floyd-style organs and spatial guitars before falling into an earthbound shuffle and a taste of a lush, full-band sound for Tangled Star. The song's gradual build to a towering edifice of glowing overdriven guitar, droning organ and harmony vocals is topped off by an echoed guitar line that [...]

London based Freestyle Records is one of the best funk and soul labels in the world. I like to think of them as a new-school version of Stax Records . Set up in late 2003 by the Jazz Cafe's Adrian Gibson , Freestyle Records has rapidly amassed an impressive catalog of well-known musicians. Some of their featured artists include Fred Wesley, Me'shell Ndegeochello, Soulive, Chali 2Na (Jurassic 5) and Michael Franti (Spearhead). If you dig deeper into their catalog you can find some serious Meters-style funk and Afrobeat music. My favorites are The Apples, [...]
We went on a short vacation in the countryside this weekend, here's 5 of the tunes that stuck most in my mind during hours of idle car time. The Bamboos cover Kings of Leon , Dom um Romao track found on Donnaslut . More Congos . The Bamboos - King of the Rodeo feat. Megan Washington Dom um Romao - Amor en Jacuma The Congos - Sodom and Gomorrow The Clarendonians - Goodbye Forever [...]
Here's a pretty nifty version of Kings of Leon's King of the Rodeo by The Bamboos featuring Megan Washington. I assure you that I did not hear this on Off The Rails . I swear.
We all know women are good for essentially 3 things: Fucking. Cooking. and Cleaning. But did you know that some women possess a startling fourth degree of usefulness ? Yes, some women actually have talent that goes well beyond getting my dinner my ready, or making sure that my khakis are pressed. At some point in time the good lord gave women the ability to make music, and some of these bitches can make music pretty god damn good. Now Imma preface this by saying I essentially *hate* hearing females rap, but for [...]
Ah cassette tapes. This time yesterday I had almost forgotten their existence, browsing my library of mp3s and contemplating that it has been an alarmingly long time since I actually purchased a CD for myself. Then my friend Maedhbh called to my house clutching her handbag, for what was to become a night of extremely excessive drinking, dancing, and pancake-making (surprisingly good drunken food fodder, in case you were wondering). From her handbag she proceeded to produce these... things. "What are they again?" "Cassette tapes, dear boy, cassette tapes". This exchange did not actually take place but it [...]
Featuring Megan Washington. Out now on a 7, with the flip feat TY and is also rather super. Album to follow soon on Tru Thoughts .
The Bamboos ft Megan Washington - King Of The Rodeo ( mp3 ) I saw The Bamboos at Meredith Festival two years ago, I've seen the name plenty of time around Melbourne's streetpress, posters and flyers. I've never really paid much attention to their music when I should be really because they are every bit the great funk band that everyone keeps talking about, perennial local Melbourne favourites. The Bamboos are about to release their fifth album Side-Stepper and the first song that surfaced features the vocal talents of jazz [...]
Recently I featured the new single from The Bamboos , a cover of King Of The Rodeo by Kings Of Leon. Well, here is the fancy new video to accompany said track. Nicely done too! The track features the incredible Megan Washington , and the b-side to the single is a track called Can't Help Myself featuring Ty. The single is out on 1st September and the new Bamboos LP, Side-Stepper, is out on 5th October. mp3 : The Bamboos - King Of [...]

It could be pure coincidence that on the same day that Kings Of Leon decide to release their first single, Crawl , for free on the web from the upcoming new LP, Only By The Night , that I should receive news from those good people at Tru Thoughts telling me that The Bamboos ' first single from their upcoming LP, Side-Stepper , is in fact a cover of King Of The Rodeo by Kings Of Leon . Kings Of Leon burst onto the scene [...]
Une fois n'est pas coutume, l'artiste que je m'apprête à vous présenter ne vient ni d'outre-Atlantique, ni d'outre-Manche, mais bien d'Australie. J'avoue sans honte mes lacunes en matière d'artistes Soul locaux, mais il est vrai qu'à ma décharge, l'Océanie a du mal à exporter ses talents. Et c'est un achat "coup de coeur", à l'aveugle, qui m'a fait découvrir Kylie Auldist il y a quelques jours. Originaire de Melbourne, elle vient de signer son premier album "Just Say", sur le label britannique Tru Thoughts Recordings (celui d' Alice Russell ). Son univers ? De [...]
I am good at distress. There's a metaphor if I ever heard one. This is the last tee-shirt I do for a while. It was a fun little distraction project, and I learned some stuff about typesetting and printmaking that I hadn't thought about previously. I'd been too caught up in the process of making that I hadn't really sat down to learn anything about how to move the crap I generate into the alleged real world-paper, cloth, whatever. As far as art goes, I'm in the process now of printing, sorting, deciding [...]

I made the very costly mistake of visiting Amoeba Records yesterday. Yes, my wallet is a little thinner, but my soul collection is much, much filthier. And you, loyal readers, shall reap the benefits. But first, a few things I wish would cease to exist this Saturday morning: Lou Holtz's "Pep Talk" segment The Fighting Illini Football announcers who can't simply call it a "ball" (e.g., "He's gotta get rid of that football "; "They're moving the football now, boy") Pam Ward [...]
