The Parking Lot Experiments – Live Long
The Parking Lot Experiments have been making music in Melbourne since time immemorial, since before Docklands was a dollar sign in a developers eye, Courtney Barnett was still ghostwriting for Boomgates, Tomomaji was still Timomatic (RIP) and Jake Cleland was still junior vice deputy senior intern at adamNOTeve. Those were simpler days weren’t they? Even then though, The Parking Lot Experiments were in their forties. Now in their sixties, they’ve released the appropriately titled ‘Live Long’, recorded and mastered by Jonathan Boulet, the man, the legend. It’s building, swelling, corker of a track that sounds like some mix of Cloud Control and the Polyphonic Spree and a few other things that don’t yet exist. Good on me for writing about them just after they played their Sydney release show so unfortunately that boat has sailed. I have to get on to the next post though, because I haven’t written about any #greataustralianmusic for a long time and now there are lots of songs backed up so treat yourself below and use the hashtag #SoundDoctrineDoesItAgain if you want to discuss this on social medias. Keep it snappy, keep it viral.
