Tame Impala

posted by Justin at 12:09 am.

Australia’s psychedelic revolution is underway. In Perth, three guys have come together to form what music needs, rock ‘n roll. Tame Impala’s mission is to play in large, grassy areas and record music in their homes for you to download. Their myspace caption reads, “music to download on sunny days.” Remember Me is just that. Go to their SITE right now and download this song. You. Will. Not. Regret. It. This song has been my favorite morning music for the past couple weeks. I need to send credit over to Ian LeSueur for sending this song my way. See what Mad Decent had to say. Ian is headed to Melbourne this fall to become famous. You should probably add him on Myspace now.

The group is signed to Australian’s Modular records. Founded by Steve Pavlovic, the label has grown quickly since 2004’s release of the Avalanche’s and Cut Copy’s debut albums. Regardless, this group is worth checking out. Follow this sound and really watch for it to spread everywhere. Do you have any tie-dye?

“New” Van She

posted by Justin at 4:53 pm.

The Australian music scene is maxxed out with electronica. With Cut Copy’s sophomore release imminent, Midnight Juggernauts planning their debut for later this year, and now Van She publicizing ‘Cat & the Eye‘, get ready for Australia to beat France in this blogowar. ‘Cat & the Eye’ was posted on Van She’s website last year, but it’s finally out in physical form now. No information on a US release, but I am sure it will either be on iTunes or easily found on the internet.

Imo, Van She produced one of the best songs of the past couple years, ‘Kelly‘ back in 2005. I still listen to it a couple times a week. If your ready for the coolest thing ever, check below.

Be sure to listen to their new single too, although I don’t think they’ll ever top Kelly.
