    New Weird Australia :: Volume Five

    ...10.03.10

    It is because the talented and knowledgable Stu Buchanan does important, valuable, great work, plebs like me can listen to the top quality experimental and progressive music in Australia. Without him, we would be lost in the world of the avant-garde with no guide, no motivation, no language to speak in. Thanks to him I’m going to listen to “Vorad Fils (new solo project from Seekae’s John Hassel), Justice Yeldham, Gail Priest, Crab Smasher and Peace Out! (featuring Milo Kossowski from The Emergency), Mookoid, Dot.AY, Burning Palms, The Atlas Room, ///▲▲▲\\\, Kate Carr, Duns, Caught Ship, Ripples and Blake Freele“. Do you think I know any of those bands in anything other than a vague passing manner? Not at all! They could be the names of awkward disfiguring diseases for all I know! But I trust in Stu and I trust in New Weird Australia.

    orad Fils (new solo project from Seekae’s John Hassel), Justice Yeldham, Gail Priest, Crab Smasher and Peace Out! (featuring Milo Kossowski from The Emergency), plus new and exclusive music from Mookoid, Dot.AY, Burning Palms, The Atlas Room, ///▲▲▲\\\, Kate Carr, Duns, Caught Ship, Ripples and Blake Freele

    NWA Volume 5 is available to download from the website. Be ready to feel your brain tickled via your ears, like some long, thin device has snuck its way in there and wiggled around. Ahem.
