Water Graves
If these two tracks weren’t recorded underwater than it must have almost certainly been within a room fully submerged in gelatinous goop. We’re not talking lo-fi, just jam-packed with synth padding and reverbed snare snaps. The internet tells me that Water Graves is made up of two Perth gents and that they’ve been around since the start of last year. Iridescent has glittering pings and pops that remind me of Youth Lagoon‘s keyboard behaviour but it’s all a little more slow, a little more sluggish than Trevor Powers, boy wonder. Incidentally, we’d have to be due for a new Youth Lagoon track soon right? Probzzzzz. Water Graves are a little more candid about their next release and I can say with exactitude that their EP will be released sometime “early this year”. These two pieces are sufficiently lovely in the meantime. Download both tracks via Triple J Unearthed
I’d do that whole “There’s so much good music coming out of Perth right now!1!!” bit but that’d be stupid. I never understand it when people make a point of saying that a particular major city is producing good music at the moment. Three great bands doesn’t constitute a cultural renaissance and conversely, it doesn’t surprise me when a city of near two million people produces a series of great bands. This isn’t about Perth in particular, just all cities.
Cash and prizes to the first home-viewer who links me to an example of my hypocrisy.
