Squaring Circles

I heard this song this morning in our regular Tuesday morning triple j Unearthed music meeting and lemme tell you, the effect was immediate. Sweet child of the ocean and literal sunbeam Claire Mooney brought this in full of nonchalance, as if she wasn’t just about to play us an absolute wonder wrapped in jazz, psych loops and hundred dollar bills. I played it down. “This is fine, I guess”, I shrugged. I knew though. I knew that Claire had unknowingly stumbled upon a rich mineral deposit, and I was ready to take it off her hands. “Mind if I borrow this for a minute?” I asked, hefting the mp3 in the air and catching it again. “We won’t have much use for it but it might make for an excellent paperweight, perhaps. Or I can just chuck it in the bin for you if you’re finished with it?”

I pocketed that sweet file and I knew I’d committed a great evil, but what was I to do in the face of a groove this infectious. Vocals, flitting in and out, probably lyricless and largely formless but another dynamic that helped to drive this song constantly onward. I considered burying it in a lockbox so that only I would hear the song again but it felt wrong to deprive the world of this great rhythm. Now, I present it to you, underneath this text and as spectacular as I’ve suggested. The reference points on his Unearthed page are Caribou, Floating Points and Kevin Parker and that’s just about the listing of its parts. They’re a Melbourne four-piece founded by former Lurch & Chief member Brendan Anderson. Starts strong, ends stronger, here for you right now.
