See: Jo Meares releases visually arresting video for the sublime track ‘Faster Than A First Kiss’
I wrote that Jo Meares’s track ‘Faster Than A First Kiss’ (with musical production by Anth Dymke) catches that sense of ephemeral, fleeting beauty, the transience of our very existence as brief sparks in a continuum of life across the immeasurable line of time. He has just released a breathtakingly beautiful video to go with …
Track: Naarm/Melbourne trio Summer Flake wonder who the ‘Stranger’ in the mirror is – an easy slow burning track with a delicate pop sensibility.
‘Stranger’ is a slow burning fuse of a song that floats in the ether with a gorgeous slide guitar motif and layers of glorious harmonies. Summer Flake have that laid back low-fi burnish that brings to mind bands like Mazzy Star or Cowboy Junkies – soft velvet vocals and shimmering guitars that create an evocative …

We are very pleased to be able to premiere the new video for the song ‘Beyond The Sun’ from the US electro-goth outfit Lunar Twin. It’s been an eventful two years since we reviewed the duo’s magnificent album ‘Ghost Moon Ritual‘ back in April 2020: a point in time when we were oblivious to the …
