Reviews / Album

Quality Australian metal from up north.

A lovely little offering from one of our most exciting songwriters.

This album is a glorious piece of work akin to falling down a kaleidoscopic rabbit hole and tumbling through decades of music refracted through a prism of psychedelic country soul.

By stripping their electronic instruments back to an analogue-sounding skeleton, Civil Civic have allowed the melodic strengths of their guitars to take centre stage.

The poorly produced synth sounds and strangely embarrassing lyrics will turn most off.

It’s certainly not for the faint of heart, but for those who can stomach filthy, erratic punk music, Honeys will have you completely immersed.

When partnered with its predecessor, some may view Gold Dust as an indulgent trip up the artist’s own vagina. Others will enjoy the new perspectives.

For better or worse, Lost Sirens offers an expanded understanding of what may still remain New Order’s last studio album.

From the thumping Everytime to the borderline inspiring Out Of The Woods, Holy Fire rings with a refreshing surety.
