Househats Debut LP ‘Running Out Of Time’ Cements Their Position As Official Spokes-Punks For Aussie Post-Millennial Angst

househats.jpg

It’s been over a year since Househats exploded onto the scene with their infectious debut single ‘All Together’ and now the Melbourne indie punk trio have given the jangly bop a well-deserved home in their debut long-player Running Out Of Time.

From raucous disc opener ‘STOP’ to the jerky Beck-like post-punk riffage of 2018 single ‘I’ve Been Broken’, Househats’ maiden LP cements their position as the official spokes-punks for Aussie post-millennial angst.

‘Running Out Of Time’ is ten juicy tracks dripping with wry, witty lyrical malaise and pub-punk ‘tude, delivered with singer Freddy Fostvedt’s unmistakable deadpan drawl.

Produced by Alex Markwell (The Delta Riggs, Kita Alexander, Elliphant) and mixed by Michael Badger (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, IV League, Amyl & The Sniffers), the album also f*cks with the chemist-brand formula and wears its influences on its sleeve, evoking everything from the sonic simplicity of Eddy Current Suppression Ring to the hook-laden production of Parquet Courts.  

To coincide with the big release, Househats will be performing at The Hills Are Alive festival in South Gippsland, as well as a special one-off album launch at The Old Bar in Melbourne (dates below).

Get their winning debut Running Out Of Time into your ears right now.

Brendan Maclean’s Debut Album ‘And The Boyfriends’ Is A Bold And Brilliant Groove Imaginarium

brendan.jpg

Submit your body to the throws of the heartfelt groove kaleidoscope that is Sydney solo artist Brendan Maclean’s stunning and multifaceted debut album, And The Boyfriends.

Ainslie Wills-featuring flagship single ‘Hibernia’ opens the record with furious funk fever, hurling us headlong into Maclean’s sonic imaginarium, which keeps our toes tapping through the slinky basslines of ‘Where’s The Miracle’, drunken retro synth of the wry ‘Not Too Stoned’ and infectious discoteque stylings of ‘Ghost’.

The record was named after a fictional backing band dreamed up by the ARIA-nominated vocalist and media personality (titular ensemble,The Boyfriends), but it’s far more than just a dancefloor reverie.

And The Boyfriends also delivers more than its fair share of emphatic, goosebump-inducing moments, with the crooning soul-pop balladry of tracks like ‘Goes Without Saying’, ‘Tenderness’ and ‘Layer on The Love’ plucking at our heartstrings with their raw and direct lyrical honesty.

Buoyed by the talents of co-writer and producer Sarah Belkner as well as Aussie vocal darlings Wills, Kira Puru, Montaigne, Donny Benét and Paul Mac -- all of whom feature -- Maclean uses his poetic words to paint poignant pictures of greened-out kids in ambulances in the Soho rain and heartbroken lovers hunched over atlases searching for their lost loves across Europe.

The openly queer artist, who was infamously banned by YouTube for his sexually explicit 2015 video ‘House of Air’, is more fearlessly self-reflective here than we’ve ever seen him. Nowhere is this more evident than in percussive disc closer ‘Wolf Run’, which was inspired by Maclean’s own experience with domestic violence and sees him reflect on the failures of his own masculinity. As he explains to Billboard:

“‘And The Boyfriends’ was always about reflecting on and empathising with the women in my life and also the lack of true femininity in myself. I’ve always been ‘camp’ but that’s an affectation not something real and powerful like femininity.

It was this or nothing. It is in some part a concept album if only to keep my mind focussed on the subject. The themes are so heavy and not easy to talk about, but musically captures an energy like nothing I’ve made before, not even close.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

After releasing five EPs, Brendan Maclean’s bold and brilliant debut album And The Boyfriends is out now, and it was worth the wait.

Pearl The Girl’s New Indie Rock Bop ‘Little Animal’ Has Burrowed Its Way Into Our Heads

unnamed.jpg

If you dig infectious melodies, jangly indie rock guitar lines and hip-shaking grooves then look no further than the new tune from Sydney’s Pearl The Girl, ‘Little Animal’.

Full disclosure -- I met Pearl randomly on a boat a few weeks back. My mate and I were trying to take a selfie on the deck while the merciless Sydney Harbour wind was destroying our hair and Pearl kindly offered to take the snap for us. We got to chatting and discovered that we were both musos (she also told me a story about accidentally poisoning herself one time with some leaves off a random plant in her house that she accidentally ate after mistaking it for discarded salad, but that’s neither here nor there). Anyway, a few weeks later when a press release bearing her band name on it appeared in my inbox, I was coloured intrigued.

Needless to say the song attached did not disappoint (otherwise I wouldn’t be writing about it obvs).

‘Little Animal’ is an irresistible indie rock bop, with an upbeat bassline that rollicks playfully beneath Pearl’s bubbly Aussie-inflected vibrato, delivering honest lyrics about one night romances with equal parts heart and sass.

The tune has been sliced off the band’s forthcoming debut album Just A Phase (due out Monday, 15th April), which will see Pearl The Girl hit the road for an East Coast tour stopping in Melbourne, Brisbane, Wollongong, Mona Vale and Sydney.

Catch all the details - and take ‘Little Animal’ for a spin - below.

Sydney’s Sinclaire Deliver A Toe-Tapping Twist On Heartache In Fresh Indie-Pop Banger, ‘Torn In Two’

DSC07794-Edit PS.jpg

Sydney alternative shooting stars Sinclaire are continuing to make waves with the arrival of their second single, ‘Torn In Two’.

The rollicking piano-driven bopper is deceptively uplifting, its up-tempo, off-beat grooves powerful enough to instantly replenish the spring that’s been missing from your step and tug playfully at your toes to tap.

But the track’s sunny disposition conceals darker subject matter about the pain that arises from a fractured sense self worth.

“Torn in Two is about constantly comparing yourself to other people and feeling like you always have something to prove,” explains lead singer Michael Cross.

“When I wrote the lyrics, I treated it like an open letter to myself - giving me an opportunity to reflect on the negative impact this personality trait has on my life.”

Cross’s rich, crooning vocal tones are nothing if not distinctive, and form the cherry on top of a captivatingly fresh indie-pop-rock sound that feels purpose-built for the international stage.

Sinclaire’s debut EP Now I’m Ready To Start, mixed by ARIA Award-winning producer Adrian Breakspear, will be released later this year. But for now, you can take ‘Torn In Two’ for a spin below.

Body Type’s Retro New Indie Rock Anthem ‘Stingray’ Is The Inspiration You Need To Swim Away From That Toxic Relationship

body type.jpg

As they prepare to set off on a quest for world domination that will see them play slots at SXSW (Austin), Live At Leeds Festival (Leeds), Hit The North Festival (Newcastle), The Great Escape (Brighton) London Calling (Amsterdam), not to mention a run of headline dates across the US and UK, Sydney indie rockers Body Type have shared a retro new bop for us to remember them by.

…At least until their sophomore EP, the aptly titled EP2, drops on May 3.

Dubbed ‘Stingray’, the breezy, uplifting track is packing plenty of that in-vogue garage rock vibe, but this is a garage parked in close proximity to the surf. Groovin’ bass bubbles underneath a rollicking, lightly distorted lead guitar riff and sassy vocals soaked in vintage verb.

Vocalist and guitarist Sophie McComish explains that the ‘Stingray’ concept is meant to stand as a kind of spirit animal for people stuck in toxic relationships:

Despite having no backbone (all cartilage, like a shark), the stingray is a powerful creature that can blend into its surroundings but delivers a nasty attack when provoked. This is a song about observing my friends being stuck in relationship ruts and trying to shake them out of it, reminding them of their power to sting and swim away gracefully.”

The track’s accompanying video, directed by the group’s long-time friend and collaborator Nicholas Griffith, is naturally also stingray-themed.

It uses 90’s handy-cam footage along with iPhone footage to pay tribute to the news of Freckle, a ray at Sydney Aquarium who had given birth despite having had no male contact for 9 years.

McComish explains:

I saw parallels between her story and the theme of the song itself - Freckle is an inspiration for everyone in dead end relationships - so Nick and I decided she should be the star of this video.

So much of life these days is viewed through some kind of MAN-made lens, but Mother Nature likes to remind us that no matter how hard we try to conquer her, she has the ultimate power to fuck shit up again like when weird ass creatures like stingrays have immaculate conceptions.

SACHI’s Bubbly New Electro-Pop Anthem ‘Worst Behaviour’ Is, Ironically, The Best

sachi.jpg

New Zealand producer pair SACHI have teamed up with rising NYC singer Sam DeRosa to dish up a festival-ready EDM sugar-rush dubbed ‘Worst Behaviour’.

The infectiously melodic piece of anthemic electro-pop is the type of song you’d crank up for a group singalong with your girlfriends on the way to the club; as cheeky, sweet and uplifting as a chilled glass of bubbly.

As one half of SACHI, Nick Chrisp, explains:

“‘Worst Behaviour’ is about a lopsided relationship where one half is playing games while the other is smitten. It came together super quick because it was something we all related to and thought others could too.”

The duo will be taking the flirtatious banger on the road for a bunch of national and international festival dates… fingers crossed it won’t be long before we see them plot a course for Australia!

For now, you can take ‘Worst Behaviour’ for a spin below.

PNK FME’s Brooding ‘Infatuation’ Is A Dreamy Drunk-Drive Through The Electro-Pop Clouds

PNK FME - Infatuation Press Pic 2.jpg

Vocalist and producer PNK FME is our new musical infatuation.

The Adelaide shooting star landed on the Good Intent team’s radar this week with a mesmerising new dollop of minimalistic electro-pop that is a straight-up MOOD.

Dubbed ‘Infatuation’ (see what we did there), the tune is driven along at a slow, cruising pace by softly clanking percussion samples that loop beneath throbbing synths, buoying PNK FME’s delicate, verby vocal melodies up to soar as he gives voice to “internal musings of falling helplessly in love and the associated desires”.

The woozy, introspective soundscapes he crafts here instantly ensnare, and it’s little wonder his talents have already netted him sync deals with Mercedes Benz, Adelaide Fashion Festival and the South Australian Tourism Commission.

Similarly, we recommend ‘Infatuation’ as the perfect soundtrack to your next late night party drunk-cry, because it will instantly add a touch of class and poignance to proceedings.

Asha Jefferies’ Glorious Debut EP Will Hit You Where It Hurts & Then Heal You Again

BS18_AshaJefferies_IMG_6813_v2_medium.jpg

Off the back of three widely-adored singles, Brisbane teen singer-songwriter Asha Jefferies has unveiled her full debut EP, Hold Yourself Together, in all of its heartfelt glory.

Asha’s dizzying soprano deftly switches from sparrow mode to hawk mode across this disc’s sublime six-track soundscape, fluttering delicately in the tear-jerking acoustic passages of title track ‘Hold Yourself Together’ before soaring with a ferocious strength in the guitar-powered bars of ‘Absence & Copyright’.

For anyone feeling particularly vulnerable in the feels department when listening to this, a warning: Jefferies’ deeply personal and emotionally wrought lyricism will cut you right to the core, and after it breaks you down, it will lift you back up again. Which is a pretty damn magical accomplishment, especially for someone so young.

Talking about her first body of work, Jefferies explains:

"This EP took so long because I decided to value honesty over everything else. The way in which I write is so subliminal and is difficult to seperate myself from. It is dripping in sub-conscious truths. Hearing that shit back through speakers as a teenager can be terrifying. A lot can get swept up and away when you lay tracks down and mark them for what they are in recordings. This two year climbing and building mountain was one of learning how to present myself and my work in its most authentic form, no matter how ugly, scary and real it is. Diving deep into vulnerable waters is murky territories, but it’s the only format in which music matters - to connect."

Produced over the last 12 months with Miro Mackie (St. Vincent, Dirty Projectors, Bishop Briggs) and Simon Nelson, Hold Yourself Together is available now and you can take it for a spin right here.

And to celebrate the big release, the exquisitely talented crooner is hitting the road on a massive national tour this month. Peep all the dates below.

Lime Cordiale’s Slinky New Slice Of Surf Rock Is The Damn Money

lime.jpg

Northern beaches-reared duo Lime Cordiale are back with another cool glass of tune water dubbed ‘Money’.

True to its name, ‘Money’ makes bank with its slinky basslines, hazy synths and laid-back surf rock grooves, with the addition of jazzy horn lines and Motown harmonies to cap off a vibe of effortless chill... like a musical version of the sunglasses emoji.

Produced by Dave Hammer - the man behind the group’s 2018 debut LP Permanent Vacation - the single also comes packing a hilarious (and, tbh, slightly disturbing) music video starring brothers Oli and Louis Leimbach as the hired help working at an opulent summer mansion (spoiler alert: they also play the rich snoots who live there, with transformative Eddie Murphy-like skill).

“Some people have an obsession with money. This one is for those that think that money is more important than what really matters” Louis explains of the meaning behind the song.

To toast the release, the lads are currently in the midst of a huge tour across Australia and New Zealand.

Windwaker’s Anthemic New Groover ‘The Sitch’ Will Have You Feeling Aggressively Optimistic

05b88aa01c8756536210ebb4feedb595.jpg

Melbourne’s Windwaker have walloped us about the ears with an aggressively uplifting new hunk of metalcore dubbed ‘The Sitch’.

The anthemic groover should go down well with fans of Emarosa or Don Broco, combining an infectiously danceable, pounding drum beat with lashings of heavy, rhythmic guitar lines and vocals that seamlessly switch between soul-infused pop and throat-tearing sceamo.

TBH I’d never actually heard of these dudes before this track landed in my inbox but they’ve converted me straight up. If Good Intent worked on any kind of star system I’d give this a solid 5/5, but failing that, I’m just going to say it. bloody. RIPS!!!!!

With his optimistic chorus refrain of “I’m still breathing”, vocalist Will King explains that the band wanted to move away from their sadboi beginnings on this newbie:

"Coming out of our last record, a record deeply rooted in post-adolescent feelings of pain and loneliness, as a band, it’s safe to say that we all had this strong desire to redeem ourselves of those sole qualities. I think we have always feared trapping ourselves in a box, kept in by 1-dimensional expectations, and we are very conscious of not allowing that influence to hinder our creativity. We are absolutely not a band who is going to sit around all day writing the same songs over and over again. It’s just not going to happen."

‘This Sitch’  has just been revealed as the maiden cut of Windwaker’s brand new EP, Empire, which is set to drop on Friday, 22nd March (pre-order here).

It also comes packing a pisser music video filled with wall-to-wall band hijinks, which you can check out below.

NZ Funk Aliens LEISURE Cross Over To The Dark Side On New Toe-Tapper ‘Easy Way Out’

LEISURE.jpg

Critically-acclaimed New Zealand-based five-piece LEISURE are getting our toes tapping and heads bopping with their brooding new slice of electro-funk, ‘Easy Way Out’.

An infectious tapestry of rhythmic guitar lines powered by a dark, driving offbeat that skulks beneath a drunken alien-like synth and sinisterly hushed vocal melodies, this artfully constructed groover is the perfect soundtrack for a midnight drive. 

...Maybe through one of those sleepy little rural towns with a water tower where something just seems off.

With lyrics based on overcoming personal challenges and self-empowerment, ‘Easy Way Out’ has been plucked off the LEISURE’s forthcoming sophomore album, and arrives on the heels of the group signing on with Auckland-based Saiko Management, also home to widely-frothed acts like E^st and Glades.

Awaken I Am’s Blockbuster New Bop ‘Indifference’ Is Like A Reverse-Engineered ‘Punk Goes Pop’ Track

awaken i am.jpg

Criminally under-acknowledged Brisbane  alt-rock outfit Awaken I Am have loosed another monster earworm from its cage.

The sophomore cut of the group's upcoming EP The Beauty In Tragedy is dubbed ‘Indifference’, but inspires anything but.

The single sounds like a reverse-engineered ‘Punk Goes Pop’ track, a infectiously hook-riddled electro-laced bop with sparkling production that just so happens to be powered by a huge wall of crunching guitars.

Lyrically, the song spills its guts about a toxic relationship, as vocalist Jimmy Stevenson explains:

“Sometimes you are in a relationship where you want the best for your other half, yet that person wants to push you away and only be happy when it benefits them, and that is meaning behind ‘Indifference.’”

Awaken I Am's forthcoming 5-tracker will be released on Friday, April 26 and will serve as a tribute to their late guitarist Connor Verner-Oakley.

In the words of drummer Luke McKenzie:

“During the writing, recording and the lead up process to completing these songs, it forced us to face grief and loss everyday as we worked through it. The release of this EP is our chance to give ourselves and fans something to always remember Connor by while giving us closure to move on to a new chapter as a band.”

Listen to ‘Indifference’ below and catch Awaken I Am touring live around the country supporting Secrets (US) later this month.

Sean Frazer Plucks At Our Heartstrings On This Acoustic Ode To His Dad’s Wisdom, ‘You Know I’

sean.jpg

Central Coast-bred singer-songwriter Sean Frazer paints deeply affecting sonic portraits using only music’s primary colours - guitars, drums and vocals. His latest offering ‘You Know I’ is no exception.

The solo artist’s second single is a heartfelt piece of acoustic balladry with lyrics inspired by his dear old dad, “who always saw the bright side even on dark days”.

Frazer’s warm vocals croon and pluck at our heartstrings as deftly as he plucks (or strums) at his acoustic guitar, unfolding a tale of aching nostalgia, the passing of time, sadness, celebration and making the most out of every day lived.

Play this at my funeral please, Sean.

A.D.K.O.B. Have Resurfaced And They’ve Brought A Serious Vibe With Them

image003.jpg

Three years after the release of their highly-frothed underground debut EP, Sydney’s other-worldly indie rock minstrels A.D.K.O.B. have re-emerged from their tune cave with a brand new toe-tapper dubbed ‘Chalkline’.

Mixed by Luke Million (I Know Leopard, Carmouflage Rose, Luke Million) & produced by A.D.K.O.B. themselves, the gently lapping bop conceals an aching sadness beneath its sunny grooves and lush wash of male and female vocal harmonies, with multi-instrumentalist band leader Mark Piccles explaining that the song speaks to the kind of confusion and desperation that humans feel when faced with an impossible situation, but still wanting to see the best in it.

In his own words:

“It’s a song about what it means to learn from mistakes, or perhaps that some times you don’t learn at all.

‘Chalkline’ has been lifted from A.D.K.O.B.’s forthcoming second EP NOTHING IS A WASTE OF TIME, which is set for release later this year.

Yours Truly’s Newbie ‘Circles’ Is An Empowering Pop-Rock Sugar Rush

yours truly.jpg

Yours Truly are a foursome of pop-rockin’ young whipper-snappers from Sydney with a rep for kicking dicks both live and in the studio. Full disclosure, they’re also my good mates, but that doesn’t make them any less worthy of having their music immortalised on the sacred Good Intent blog, it just makes me pretty bloody lucky.

Fresh from slaying the stage down at UNIFY Gathering, where they dropped the spicy bombshell that they’ve just put pen to paper with Australia’s “cool club” heavy label UNFD ahead of the release of their sophomore EP Afterglow (out April 12), Mikaila, Lachie, Teddie & Brad have walloped us with their fresh single ‘Circles’, an infectiously singable anthem with sparkling pop hooks and an unapologetic punk ‘tude.

No need to patronise / The way you act ain’t right,” belts Mik, a certified vocal kween, delivering a straight-up, BS-free MESSAGE amid the song’s cheerfully bop-along verse, which then surges into a sugar rush explosion of a chorus and a guitar riff that cascades like a burst of bubbles from your ears down to the floor.

“And I’m over it / Yeah frankly I’m just sick of it / What makes me different to you? / I got nothing to lose / And everything to prove.”

Not since Aretha Franklin’s iconic 1967 anthem has a song about respecting women been so damn catchy.

‘Circles’ also comes packing a dizzyingly bright, high-production music video that features cameos from some of the band’s favourite lady-bros including, ahem, yours truly.

Pun. Fucking. Intended.

We Are Definitely Not Over SAYAH’s Heady New Slice Of Electro-Pop

sayah.jpg

He’s not over me” croons SAYAH in the infectiously singable chorus of her freshly minted electro-pop offering of the same name, and TBH neither are we.

The Sydney-based singer is just getting warmed up, kicking off 2019 with a huge bang(er). ‘He’s Not Over Me’ marks the first slice of a mysterious new new body of work from SAYAH, and sounds like the heady musical lovechild of Flume and Meg Mac (on what planet would that not be a winning combo?) 

The quirky vocalist’s sultry soul-infused vocals drive this dancefloor-friendly bop, cascading over woozy synths, hypnotic bursts of production and modest percussion that nonetheless delivers the kind of contagious rhythms that tug at your fingers to start clicking.

After topping the triple J Unearthed Pop Chart with her 2017 debut single ‘Addicts’ and sharing the stage with the likes of pop megastar Ruel, SAYAH has already kicked some serious career goals, and we can’t wait to see what else she has up her stylish sleeves in the year to come.

Electro-Pop & RnB Collide In Jason Winston’s Life-Affirming Debut Bop ‘Foreverland’

jason.jpg

Sydney-based, Melbourne-raised singer/songwriter Jason Winston has planted his flag firmly on our radar with an attention-stealing debut dubbed ‘Foreverland’.

Fusing minimalistic electro-pop production with rhythmic RnB-infused vocals that lift into an ear-caressing falsetto in the chorus, this life-affirming sonic gem is - at its core - a love song, and undeniably inspires the emotion upon which it muses (insert heart-eye emojis ad infinitum)

Winston explains the track as follows:

I wrote this song as a celebration of everything this relationship made me feel. Joy underpins this track...it represents an idea that some of us chase permanence in relationships, but it doesn’t exist. Moment to moment is all we have and love.

Making his foray into the music world after graduating from NIDA in 2013 and spending his early twenties pursuing acting, Winston is poised to drop his debut album later this year and our ears are ready.

Harley Young & The Haymakers’ New Indie Bop Is The Essence Of Aussie Summer

fullsizeoutput_df8 (1).jpg

It’s the sound of getting sunburnt during a game of backyard cricket, even after you’ve slipped, slopped and slapped. It’s the sound of your dad knocking back a stubby of Tooheys New on the back verandah as the sun goes down at 8pm. It’s the sound of watching seagulls maul each other on the beach as you chuck your leftover fish & chips in their general direction.

Harley Young & The Haymakers’ freshie ‘Barina Jean’ is a breezy indie rock hymn that’s got Aussie summer written all over it, from the endearingly ocker twang of its dual male/female vocal passages to its charmingly mundane music video packed with quintessentially Straya’n visuals.

Bright guitars skip merrily along to a clapping rhythm on the snare in this infectiously sunny bop, as frontman Harley Young’s lyrics drip with locality and romantic nostalgia, referencing everything from TV Hits Magazine to the Bruce Highway.

Produced by John Willsteed (The Go Betweens) and following on from their 2015 album Flinders Parade, the Brisbane sixsome’s musical drought-breaker marks the first cut of their upcoming LP Little Songs For Big People, which is set to be released (on vinyl, no less) this March.

Stay tuned for national tour dates to come, but for now you can pour yourself a chilled glass of January jangle juice courtesy of the delightful ‘Barina Jean’.
