Broadway Sounds
Buoyant indie-pop with a very sizable slice afro-pop fusion, it’s Melbourne six-piece Broadway Sounds whose music funnily includes zero sounds that one might actually associate with broadway. Not quite sure why there’s eight people in the photo but I can tell you with 100% certainty that it says six people on the soundcloud bio. In truth the first song I’ve included below ‘Booby Trap’ isn’t actually that indicative of their long term sound. The first Wildflowers EP has none of the stuttered, chant heavy elements of ‘Booby Trap’ but is all smooth synths and sax parts. Even ‘The Last Detail’ (also below) from the more recent EP of the same name is padded with strings and pipes that make for a more languid, reclined listen that incites comparison to Kings of Convenience in its Mediterraneanisms. The soundcloud is a real mixbag but if you’re a fan of #music then you might #like #it. There’s a pretty “cool fun” video for ‘Booby Trap’ too.
