Premiere | Collarbones // One Time (Justin Bieber Cover)

The Adelaide/Sydney duo Collarbones send Justin Bieber’s hit through the glitch-hop washing machine and give those cheesy pop lyrics some soul .

One Time is a track off their upcoming release called Tiger Beats, which is a compilation of remixes and covers they have done so far.

Marcus Whale will be performing solo (still as Collarbones) at the Exelsior Hotel in Sydney on the 20th of November. Be sure to come along to also catch Oscar + Martin (formerly Psuche) and Ghoul. All the details are available over here.

Albatross // Sirens

Only a few months after departing from their previous band, Sam Weston and Tom McAlister gift us with their fresh new electronic ‘brain child’.

Sirens has been playing on off my computer for the last few days on virtual repeat. They appear to be drawing from a large number of influences, as it combines elements of hip hop, shoegaze and glo-fi. The track is built around a thick layer of pulsating synth strings and pensive falsetto vocals that lies underneath the unsettling rollerdexed kick drums and a well protected harp melody that breaks free from its shell in warped, chopped up little bursts.

Its so exciting to see all these dynamic lofi electronic duo’s appearing in Sydney, Collarbones and Fishing being to other favourites of mine.

Albatross are preparing a release so stay tuned for that one by following them on their Myspace and Soundcloud.

Collarbones //  Beaman Park

Proud to introduce two Aussie bros. One from Adelaide and the other from Sydney met over the internet and decided to collab to form a killer Glitch-Hop outfit. I was actually going to post them before they emailed me, because I heard about them through a friend of mine, who played me some of their tunes and I totally chilled out to them.

Beaman Park is off their Icongraphy LP out later this year. It combines some very smooth samples, chopped up and mixed to form a dancable track.

The vocals are what stands out the most on this one however. For some reason it reminds me of the vocals the XX has in some of their tracks. It soars over the glitchy background and covers the track in smooth velvet.

Buy Beaman Park from their Bandcamp for whatever price you think suitable.
