Websters dictionary defines fig as “some fruit shit, not entirely sure. maybe a vegetable, check wiki bitch”. And while some some say that the editors of Websters started dialing it in years back, I say they’re not far off the mark. This is some fruitful business from Noli Fig, playing all the sounds, doing all the recording from his bedroom. Some might even call this bedroom pop. Might you? I hear a little Methyl Ethel in the bassline with a combination of Jake Webb and Jordan Ireland in the vocal. Beautiful and off center with a voice that you could knock over in a stiff wind, this is the sort of record you roll about on your tongue for a while just to figure out the flavour. The fella who went and made it is Jordan Roe, Sydney based and that’s about all I know about him though to be fair I didn’t do a lot of digging. There’s an EP on bandcamp and this is the standout track, though do enjoy his eerie edit of the principal’s monologue from Billy Madison.
Something from Melbourne’s Ali Adriano that tastes like Enya meshed with Kllo synced to season 2 of The OC (coastal driving scenes only thanks). Self produced with her own sonorous vocal spinning in and out of flute(ish) sections like a double helix. She’s just two records deep and this one drew me in enough that I was willing to investigate the first one and look bud, they’re both strong, experiential bodies of sound that are more immersion that consumption. Worth a swim in this.
