Australian Post-Punk (Updates)

haha this is so wonderfully odd

i strongly recommend this to fans of australian post-punk in general and that total control EP specifically: https://exek.bandcamp.com/album/ahead-of-two-thoughts
it's a little more PIL/dub-influenced than total control but similarly weird/catchy

that's nice! thanks.

btw how is the total control ep that came out last year?

does anybody talk about eddy current suppression ring anymore? they rule(d) so much!

the total control EP is fantastic. it's not very "punk" for the most part but is great weirdo guitar pop.

I'd say it's really punk! But in a kind of wild 'we really, really don't give a shit what anyone thinks' way. Musically yeah it's kind of evasive electro/guitar pop in form, anarcho-punk in function

I like Eddy Current Suppression Ring (and Total Control) a lot but I don't think they're still going are they? Protomartyr kind of remind me of them (albeit not Australian of course)

good bloggin'!

The death of Chris Bailey has me contemplating his legacy and the great Australian underground. There's been no interesting comps since "Closed Circuits" 5 years ago, perhaps there's some worthy Spotify playlists?

RIP astrid spielman from the particles. i hope one day their stuff all gets compiled!
