"No one was really thinking about making another record.”

"I think the experiment was pretty successful, creatively anyway."

“I didn’t get comfortable until probably two-thirds into the set."

"The band is still primarily interested in expanding sonically."

"If you listen to it, you’ll have to sit down and concentrate."

Mylee and her band just got randoms to sing backing vocals on their album.

Doc Holliday really dove into the horror-surf genre as far as inspiration for their EP went.

Preview a new wondrously whack, soul-infused house jam from James Blake.. Sometimes we think James Blake is some kind of alien humanoid who fell to Earth to bless us with incredible music from the future, and soon he's going to disappear back to wherever he came ftom, leaving a trail of dumbfounded club music fans in his wake...Today Blake upped an official preview of a new track, which drops in full December 8th, on the Soundcloud of the label imprint he founded with Dan Foat (R & S Records) and Airhead: 1-800-Dinosaur (read more about these dudes in this great Dummy interview). It's a wondrously whacky, loose lounge number with a low, warped Al Green soul sample, reportedly made using just synthesisers and a computer. 200 Press because "only 200 are going to be pressed up", Blake told BBC. A BBC radio rip of James Blake's 200 Press has been on Youtube for a few months now. Fans of Blake's more easy-to-swallow, vocal-led ballads probably think this is some kind of aberration, but Blak

Julia Stone gives us the soundtrack to the duo's tour life.. Following a series of intimate shows earlier this year, Angus & Julia Stone are getting back to the bigger venues February next year for a massive Australian tour. A tour that will no doubt see plenty of down time between shows, on the road, with nothin' to do but listen to music. So we thought we'd ask Julia what tunes get her through those down times, and she provided us with a list of music that we reckon will probably go down pretty smooth any time: 1. The Roots - Right On feat. Joanna Newsom I love running to this song. I try to go running a few times a week and this always kicks it off. Such a good pump up. 2. Beck - Blue Moon This is my alarm clock song. Waking up can be rough after late shows, and this makes the mornings a little easier. Or harder because you just want to stay asleep and listen to the song in your dreams.  3. Beth Orton - Central Reservation I like something about the lyrics in this song. Somehow th

A new moniker and new tunes for WA's Leon Ross, from his new home in Melbourne.. Formerly based 'round our home state of WA, producer Leon Ross has taken up residence in a new city, and in the process begun a new project under the alias UNITY. Previously making tunes as a duo in CHIME, UNITY sees Ross in solo form, but losing none of the production skill we've seen from him in the past. Prophecy is the first little taste of what's to come, a heavy, slower jam in the mould of Porter Robinson or French producer Pyramid. It's early days, but we're excited to hear more from the young gun who has talent for days. Keep an ear out for his next tune - New Generation. Follow UNITY: FACEBOOK
