Album Review: Unity Floors Exotic - Goldfish Blues

9 December 2013 | 9:37 am | Brendan Telford

Hovering between confessional slacker rock and confectionery noise-pop, Exotic Goldfish Blues is as it says on the tin – bright, brash and over far too soon.



Scrappy Sydney suckers Unity Floors finally make the foray into full-lengths with Exotic Goldfish Blues, 31 minutes of unadulterated scuzz held together with sporadic bursts of energy, torrents of sweat and glimpses of quarter-life crisis amidst all the not-giving-a-fuck. For every lo-fi breakneck track like Holy Hell (which has the Japandroids/Times New Viking seal of approval), there's the cantankerous Just For A Minute or the lovelorn Nice Fit. Hovering between confessional slacker rock and confectionery noise-pop, Exotic Goldfish Blues is as it says on the tin – bright, brash and over far too soon.
