I’m not going out on a limb here when I say that you’re going to be hearing a lot of Melbourne electro-pop quartet Strange Talk on the radio over the next 12 months. Their first single Climbing Walls was mixed by Eliot James (who had a hand in the work of small name artists such as Noah and the Whale, Two Door Cinema Club and Bloc Party). Strange Talk sound like the lovechild of Phoenix and Gypsy and the Cat, particularly in their slower track Eskimo Boy. Maybe Cut Copy got involved in the process (like the pervert he is) too, we can’t be sure. Whatever the mix, it’s a catchy (and marketable) sound.

You can download Climbing Walls from Triple J Unearthed for no dollars. Also, take the time to visit their myspace so you can agree with me on all earlier points.
The Blue Mountains are not just a hotspot for Christian engagements and budding teenage photographers, they’re also home to some swell musicians. Some of those musicians are in a band called March of the Real Fly. We may never know what they could do with a decent budget and quality gear. What we do know though, is that with a $50 recording program and $2 mics they can make some pretty, simple (not to be confused with pretty simple) tunes. Here’s one such.

I find the production endearing but I’ve always had a crush on lo-fi recording. If you want to download their live EP or the Morning Man single (for free) then click this link. For a little more info scope out their myspace.
Summer anthems in the mid-winter, that’s appears to be the way of things. Los Angeles band The Smiles released their debut EP Hermosa in May this year (yep, I know that’s not American winter but I’m wearing thermals right now. Don’t argue with me.) and it’s a pretty solid six tracks of surf pop. I can’t stop listening to Cala Cola which is the best of the six. It’s available as a free download from The Smiles’ bandcamp. If you’re not ready to take a risk on this free download then you can stream Cala Cola below.
