Through your ears, deep in your mind, down in your heart, in a way you never knew you wanted, Jaala will caress you and Jaala will entice you. Like the roots of a tree Jaala is ever growing, pruned only by themselves and never by the expectations of the public.
Like a pair of crappy old jeans you've unstitched and re-stitched, always working to make them the best goddam pair of jeans you ever imagined in your wild little noggin. Intricately decorated and lovingly crafted, Jaala's music comes from a place of deep focus and care.
In 2015 Jaala released their debut album Hard Hold'to critical acclaim both nationally and internationally. We could sit here talking about Pitchfork's glowing review or how Triple J featured the album but all that is in the past and Jaala are in the now. Google is available if you are curious about these achievements. Since the release of Hard Hold'they have transformed into a completely new animal, stylistically and literally.
The addition of Carolyn Schofield (synth) of Fia Fiell fame has moved the band towards a more haunting, dreamy experimental pop movement as opposed to the guitar shredding melt your face prog rock vibes of yesteryear.
Vocalist/guitarist Cosima pay and drummer/genius Maria Moles stand firm with their intricately woven telepathy. The ornate and ever flowing creativity is still ubiquitous, only it feels different now, rather than falling down a beautiful waterfall into a pit of demons that become your mates it's more like your feet have been confiscated at the same time as you've been given the ability to fly.
Cop a feel in April 2018 when their new album Joonya Spirit'is unleashed upon the world in all it's untouchable glory.

Far from being derivative of bands such as Yo La Tengo, Sebadoh and Pavement, the sounds and the lyrics coalesce in a way that makes you think the music found Craig Dermody, rather than him finding the inspiration.' - SoundlabVisit product page →
'Three years since the release of their shambling classic, Mid Thirties Single Scene, Scott & Charlene's Wedding announce the release of a six-track EP ahead of their performance at Meredith Music Festival this year. The band will also be returning to Adelaide for a hometown performance in the weekend prior to Meredith, saying hello to friends both new and old.  Â
Formed around Craig Dermody, a songwriter who provides you with speed-dial access to his head and his heart, and rooted in 90's slacker and Flying Nun sounds, Scott & Charlene's Wedding finally return with their new EP When In Rome, Carpe Diem. Â
Six songs full of frank and honest observations about everyday life, ranging from everyday work laughs to coming to terms with the loss of important people in our lives, When in Rome is pure Scott & Charlene's Wedding - heartfelt and yet tongue-in-cheek, light and dark all at the same.

When was the last time you watched the sunset? Sunset Cities is a new musical project created to explore this and many other questions concerning one's own presence, spiritual essence, belief, love, and mindfulness while in rotation around the life light.Visit product page →
The group is comprised of two emcees and two producers; four human perspectives judging the light and the dark of life, maneuvering between the two while the fundamentals of hip-hop culture and psychedelic soul simmer on the coasts of South Australia.
Last year in Adelaide over a plate of Ethiopian food, MC's Nelson Dialect and Cazeaux O.S.L.O. crafted the basic principles for waxing poetic over two distinct sonic dimensions - a record made up of two sides, the first produced by Melbourne beatmaker Skomes (known for his work with Caseaux O.S.L.O under the moniker SO.Crates) and the second by Adelaide resident Alnitak Kid.
The record follows the cycle of the sun, no beginnings and no endings, just answers to this and many other questions using the voice, the drum and the body electric. When was the last time you watched the sunset?

Sold out'Ambient and Experimental Artists From Australia And New Zealand 1980 - 1995'Visit product page →
Midday Moon is a survey of ambient and experimental music that emerged from Australia and New Zealand between 1980 and 1995. These recordings are sourced from a rich variety of micro-labels, private pressings, theatre soundtracks and artists'personal archives.
Curated by Melbourne based DJ and archivalist, Sanpo Disco (a.k.a Rowan Mason), the collection delves deep into the world of outsider music that emerged in Australia and New Zealand in the latter half of the twentieth century, as synthesisers and early workstations began to enter the consumer marketplace.Â
The record is an odyssey in itself, a journey that takes listeners into the unsung world of Australian new age composers. There are stories abound within this volume, from the mysterious disappearance of Helen-Ripley Marshall after the release of her 1988 album Green Chaos', to the journey of American-born, Perth based blues/rock guitarist John Heussenstamm, who unexpectedly turned his finger to ambient'music in the late 80's; and again from Melbourne based Ros Bandt, who made a series of recordings exploring the resonance of a hollow concrete cylinder 5 stories beneath busy Collins Street in Melbourne's CBD. Compiled by Sanpo Disco / Mastered by Mikey Young.
'(Ambient music is) a surrounding influence that induces calm and a space to think - ¦ it can accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular.' - Brian Eno
'A richer and more diverse ambient genre began to form. Music that crafts a unique cultural geography of landscapes and atmospheres: real and imagined, natural and man-made. Some artists turned their attention to the singular acoustic ecologies of overlooked spaces around the country. Others fostered interests in non-Western music cultures and instruments. The common thread is their use of new technologies to conjure interior and exterior regions, through acoustic and synthesised sounds.' - Sanpo Disco

Sold outVisit product page →Weight is the first single from the eagerly anticipated self-titled debut album from Naarm (Melbourne) band Cyanide Thornton. Featuring members of Two Steps On The Water, the band was founded in early 2016 and has been steadily gaining traction in Melbourne's alternative rock circuits.
Cyanide Thornton is a record wreathed in tenderness, honesty and intimacy, and will guide you from the dark corners of your mind to somewhere unearthly and supernatural.
While incorporating elements of folk and rock, Cyanide Thornton transcends its composite parts, moving into a space of raw emotion and fierce determination.
Ellah Blake (drums) and David Pesavento (bass) provide understated yet resolute punctuation for each song, holding together the music with a remarkable tenderness and affection, and providing a cradle for Sienna Thornton's masterful and harrowing lyrics and guitar work.
Thornton's voice is at once wistful and melancholic, painting narratives with a tender immediacy. The album evokes a sense of magical realism, with its lyrics transforming painfully human experiences of love and loss into magical and ethereal moments.
'There's something about this recording from Melbourne's Cyanide Thornton that reminds me a little bit of Painful-era Yo La Tengo in its patience and confidence - exploring time as secondary, irrelevant in the pursuit of getting the most out of the strongest ideas in a song.' - Eucalypt
