Low Transit Industries
Distributed and manufactured by Inertia
Over all there’s an enjoyably gritty quality to plenty of this. It’s material from the darker side as much as the everyman position. Where it’s a fresh blossoming party sound full of fun and pretty colors it bounces along as well as anyone could on a flipsy dance floor of adventure.
Thalia Zedek's Adelaide show was picked as The Wire magazine’s top 60 Greatest Shows Ever! Talia has also played with with the likes of THE DEVASTATIONS, DINOSAUR JR. & MICK HARVEY. What more needs to be said?
Both Okkervil River and Sharko are acquired tastes, both compelling bands that will draw you in, be warned, this is like adopting a puppy. You’ll feel responsible for going out and keeping an eye if not only an ear on these two bands.
Goldrush is my personal favorite. I think I've enjoyed The Heart Is The Place more for it's fabulous arrangements and optimistic sheen; oh and the lyrics of the songs make me feel very well indeed.
Fonda 500 are a very up beat band giving the pulsing masses what they want in Europe and evidently cutting their teeth on 2 UK stadium tours as a support act; good work, good clean pop sound, energetic and party fun feeling.
Trans Am are a curiously hard sounding outfit shrouded in mystery, not the least due to the title of their Australian Only output Sex Change. Look out for Trans Am on tour. They’re bound to trail the country.
The Mendoza Line is a ten album strong, far reaching work out. New album 30 Year Low is also their last album and marks the end of band-mates Tim Bracy and Shannon McArdle’s marriage and artistic collaboration in the band. It’s a sweet sweet sound that puts me hovering somewhere over the wide plains where the musical accompaniment is excellent, as it is here.
Subaudible Hum have some great albums out; their rising harmonic sound combines some remarkable sound with dramatic classical moments feeling something like being swept away on a grand narrative of the airwaves.
New Pants, the biggest pop export to come out of China for ever is worth having a listen to. Low Transit Industries have been around for a few years and they've a brilliant track record of delivering excellent music from all over the world. Stuff that adds things like pep and zip and wow back into a life led surrounded by rather droll musak a lot of the time.
