Doctor Zoots presents his involvement toward a rising catalog of releases to come from the Antisocial Music label. Dirty Work is ironically one of those flawless and unified hip-hop album that the music industry has ever heard.
It was really unexpected of Diamond Nights to concoct a beautiful combination of the acoustic and ambient genres, but when they did, boy, it was magic.
The Melbourne-based band are bringing grit to their second EP release, Irrational Fears, a superbly raw affair released just this year.
Don’t get tongue-twisted with its name. Haywyre, consists of Martin Vogt, has been performing since 2009, and he gets better. Free & Unreleased is a three-track album has its own “criteria” according to Haywyre: 1) Original file got corrupted and he couldn’t finish the track; 2) He didn’t like the idea enough to finish it and make it into a full track; and 3) Some aspect(s) of the track are below his standards.
DX by Friendzone is a hip-hop rnb EP that is confident, genius, and modern as any mainstream hip-hop being produced. The tag team James Laurence and Dylan Reznick claims that their EP is about the inner circle and not about a guy being “friendzoned”.
Dances with WoolFolk is a solid record that stages the members’ talents and captures them toward their journey further down the road. Band members include Michael Suhr (vocals, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, keyboards, percussion), Burgess Brown (vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards, percussion), John Ewing (drums, percussion), Brantley Macfie (lead guitar, rhythm guitar), Sean Williams (vocals, bass, rhythm guitar, keyboards, percussion, drums), and Heath Abney (lead guitar).
Erin by Chris Rubeo is a stash of spellbinding and enthralling folk ballad music. This EP makes it clear that the passing of time hasn’t reduced down the taste for the mysteries of folk music.
In Lights, Grace Rolland’s dulcet tones and phrasing are wonderful to listen to; you just can’t help swaying along to them. The song shows simplicity, yet it will keep you amazed.
There is beauty in understated simplicity, ease, and moderation which is shown in Jordan Rakei‘s music. In Franlikn’s Room released last September, the Brisbane native offers a pleasurable mix of hip hop, soul, and reggae.
The self-released Full of the Light is a short assemblage that covers six melodic folk ballads with exceptionally low-key arrangements that boast of vocal layers, acoustic guitar, and a couple of overdubs. There’s a lot to digest in this album—Anna’s sweet vocals, guitar rhythms, and eloquent lines.
You haven’t really heard the “rawest” kind of acoustic music until you hear the Without Feathers.
Composed of Nat Johnson, Emma Kupa, and Rory McVicar, the trio just formed their band last March 2013, yet they bring a musicality that’s so amazingly polished. This is no mystery, since each of them already came from different seasoned bands.
