Tram Cops – LA
One of my favourite records of this year dropped way back in January. That was the debut Tram Cops full length even in my dreams, a record that moved Michael Vince Moin from ‘Melbourne musician making weirdo acoustica-jazz’ to ‘one of the most creative nodes in Australian music rn’. It was the realization of the ideas from several records that Moin had dropped under the name Laurence, like William, Andromeda (2013), It’s Real (2014) and Happy Town (2015). Dropping these hyperlinks in, I’m actually starting to think that maybe Moin is the artist I’ve written about more than any other on Sound Doctrine over its eight years of life? He’d be neck and neck with Oscar Key Sung and Tim Fitz [music] but interestingly by contrast to both, he’s never tasted any big name-making success, including in the wake of ‘even in my dreams’.
He entered a new phase in the second half of this year, releasing singles from his next album Not Forever. This second single follows on from October’s ‘this is it’ and let me tell ya, you can almost blow past that first in excitement for this second because it’s the one you’ve held out for. Gentle guitar parts baking in a Summer haze and horns that fade in as if from the distance, both lounging atop percussion that’s drier than Coober Pedy (look it up, you’ll find that’s quite dry indeed). Mikey’s a heck of a guitarist but he also has the capacity to produce guitar sounds so that they sound damn gorgeous. That’s the first and final third of the track but in those middle bars it’s spry, trotting guitars. As ever, you’ll find old mate messing with the format and gluing pieces of songs together but, as ever, somehow it doesn’t feel disjointed.
There’s something extremely moving in the way that Moin grabs simple refrains and drives sentimentality into them like a tent peg into dry festival earth. The lyricism is often sparse and simple but it nails me more often than not. Album’s out November 9 (his first through a label, on ripper tiny Melbourne indie Neat Lawn) and you can secure yourself a copy here.
This young artist is the next Kevin Parker without all the psychedelia. Such an amazing talent. Thank you for giving him such a great review. Please get to see a live show – he usually performs with a band of about 7 musicians – so the sound is really rich and tight.
