It’s been a great week for new music on Unearthed. Here are some of the tracks we’ve been listening to.
Mosquito Coast โ Commotion
Earlier in the year Mosquito Coast were announced (in style) as the winners of Unearthed High for 2015. For the 8th year triple j scoured the nation to find the greatest act still in High School, and this year it was the duo from Perth. Part of their prize was travelling to Sydney to record a brand new song with Greg Wales at triple jโs studio. The end result is โCommotionโ, a summary indie tune with a killer chorus.
SOUNDS LIKE: The Breeders, Karen O
Wild Honey
Wild Honey are on fire in the second half of 2015, their latest single โEye To Eyeโ is a slice of tasty psych pop that throws in just a hint of country. On top of that theyโre just about to kick off a tour supporting The Delta Riggs, that stops at Bar On The Hill on October 8th. These Sydneysiders are a band to watch next year.
SOUNDS LIKE: Tame Impala, Big Star
Jess Kent โ Get Down
CLICK TO LISTEN
The daughter of an African/Indian Mother and a Blues Rock Guitarist for a dad; Jess Kent was born in England, moved to Adelaide, and settled in Sydney. Her first song is an irresistible piece of electronic-pop, with just enough reggae in there to keep it grooving.
SOUNDS LIKE: M.I.A.
Postblue โ Glow Like Crazy
CLICK TO LISTEN
Postblue have dropped their first song following their debut album I Hope Theyโre Praying For Me which was released through Poison City Records. Their new song โGlow Like Crazyโ trades in some of their 90โs grunge vibes for more of an 80โs feel, with a really catchy chorus to boot.
SOUNDS LIKE: The Church, Pixies
Bad Decisions โ ALLDAY
CLICK TO LISTEN
Bad Decisions have been building a bit of buzz around the country. The combo of Andrew Ghisoni & Cameron Breen from Newcastle have played some tight sets on the East Coast, including an appearance at Snow Tunes in August. โALLDAYโ is a breezy little electronic tune with Trap and Future Bass influences. Thereโs some subtle drops through the song that keep things interesting. They want you to โmake bad decisionsโ ๅธ(ยฌโฟยฌ)ๅธ
SOUNDS LIKE: Flume, Crankdat
