Lakes Single Out Now

We are very proud to announce that the new single from Melbourne’s Lakes is ready and available for purchase. For the uninitiated, Lakes is the solo outlet for Sean Bailey’s not so cheery take on the world. Sean has been a constant in the Melbourne musical landscape for quite a while. In addition to running the Inverted Crux label he has played is such diverse group settings including, but not limited to, Paeces, Wasted Truth, Tax, and The (Australian) Vivian Girls.
Lakes is Sean’s bleak punk, dark folk creature. There is no mistaking the Lakes signature sound, but those who have been following Lakes' development over the course of 12 releases can attest that Sean has methodically built on to the gothic Lakes skeleton heard on the earliest releases to where we last heard from him on last year’s Winter’s Blade LP where the Lakes monster was given quite a bit of muscle in large part to a tweak in the recording process. This single picks up where Winter’s Blade left off with perhaps with an extra level of heavy and gloom applied to the structure. Listen to the A side here to see what we mean.

Get it now. $5.50

Mad Nanna and Mole House singles-Out Now!

Starting of the new year with a bang!

QUE 004: Mad Nanna-“I Hit a Wall” 7”
We have here the new 7inch single from Mad Nanna. Mad Nanna have quietly built up an impressive discography in a relatively short span with releases on Goaty, Eggy, Wormwood Grasshopper, and their own amazing Albert’s Basement. The A side is an anthem for the ages (by Nanna standards). It lurches and stumbles, makes strides,waltzes and wobbles but manages to stay in a relatively straight line. The B side charges headlong through the muck and rides an early 90s Port Chalmers groove. Artwork is by one Antony Riddell, a Melbourne fixture, artist, author, member of the Weave Movement Theatre and one of the the mad geniuses responsible for the under-appreciated Volvox.

QUE 003: Mole House-“Hey Come My Way” 7”
Can't be more excited to bring you debut from Mole House. Get to know em now. The band is made up of Carla dal Forno backed by a couple peeps from Mad Nanna and White Woods (Night People, Bellplay) and sounds like an even mixing of those two bands. A bit more jangle and hook than your typical date with Mad Nanna, but a bit sloppier than a make-out session with White Woods. Prime bummer pop through and through. Hear a little here.

2 for 12

Two new singles to start the new year from our friends in the other hemisphere. Both will be ready for consumption on the 2nd of January. The first is the debut of Mole House. Three slices of bummer pop at its best. Dig in:
Mole House-Hey Come My Way by Quemada Records

Also for the 2nd, Mad Nanna would like to give you a theme song for your New Year's hangover. We'll get some sounds on here presently...

Muura

Hey everybody, got a couple of Muura singles from the esteemed Albert’s Basement label at a nice price for those interested. If you’re unfamiliar, Muura is Matt Earle who is perhaps best known in the States from xNOBBQx or his work with his indefatigable label, Breakdance the Dawn. Here we are treated with feedback heavy minimalist drones done the old fashioned way, with amps, guitar and a little drum (I think anyway). Real immersive stuff. Like the more sensitive parts of A Handful of Dust, particularly the B side. Geez, that’s a niiiice one. Got a couple with sleeves handmade by Mr. Earle himself and a couple done in the workingman’s Breakdance the Dawn Xerox style (designed by the same Mr. Earle, of course).

Drunk Elk "Under Neon Lights"

Got a (very) few copies of one of our favorite band's stunning new full length from our friends at Wormword Grasshopper. Beautiful cover, heartbreaking songs. If you're on this website you're already familiar with whats going on in these grooves, but if you need some temptin' click here for some songs.

Get it now before you regret missing the boat. And keep your eye on those Wormwood Grasshoppers, lots of great stuff coming from those parts.
