Well ol’ Pipsy is from the great city of Dunedin but that didn’t stop him uploading to triple jay unearthed dot com did it? Hijinx afoot? No mam, Pipsy went and moved to Melbourne so it’s all above board. What he did next is what we’re here to talk about, cause he went and put out this lil ol’ LP called Users and there’re a few on here that are worth your attention. The one that got me most immediately was this reverb sodden ‘Holiday’ that’ll slurp you the same way Sures did what feels like so long ago. We’re talking critical levels of sun soaked buoyancy here folks, unsinkable bubbles of hook laden pop.
Pipsy, real name Paul Pouwels-Trumpour, plays every instrument and even mixed and mastered the damn thing. Paul, nice one. Colour me impressed.
It’s best received as a full record experience but I’m not gonna tell you how to take your music, I’m not your damn dad and even he should know better than to try to micro-manage your media consumption. Dude really needs to dial it back 30%.
