I have been following Parades for quite some time, always amazed by their releases. Finally, after months of waiting, their debut album Foreign Tapes has been released and it does not disappoint. The Sydney sextet has gone through many incarnations, changing names and styles left and right, with the final result being a fresh new approach to music and a stellar debut album. Foreign Tapes is what I would describe as being post math rock, having quiet ambient build ups and jolty textbook math rock movements much to the likes of Foals. In short, Parades has produced a standout album which is a tremendous display of Australian innovation and creativity, reaffirming Australian music as some of the best in the world. KEEP READING →→
The third album from Circa Survive can be seen as their big chance to show that they can do it better than other progressive rock bands. For me, I have always thought Circa Survive were great but not awesome. They have released some standout songs, however they always manage to somehow get lost while my iPod fills up with new music. The few extremely memorable tracks like “The Difference Between Medicine & Poison Is In The Dose” surface somewhat now and then, but few others do. I really think that this album has defined Circa Survive as one of the best at what they produce, and I don’t think I will be losing them within the thousands of songs on my iPod again any time soon.
