super FLORENCE jam “60 Big Ones”

Artist: super FLORENCE jam
Title: 60 Big Ones
Format: CD, Digital
Label: Bird’s Robe Records
Distribution: MGM

Genre: Garage/ Alternative Rock
Release Date: 15/11/2024

Influential but long-dead Sydney rock four-piece super FLORENCE jam no longer exist – but, undeterred, they will nevertheless release a new record: 60 Big Ones.

Recorded in 2012, lost for a decade and then unearthed by sleepmakeswaves’ Alex Wilson for final overdubs in 2023, 60 Big Ones captures the band in a mood that is exuberant, melancholy and anthemic. 

Revisiting and advancing their themes of ennui, lust and the passage of time, it further hones the band’s unique sound—with noise pop, revamped garage rock, 60s harmonies, paranoid bluesy rave-ups and at least one explosion thrown into the mix—and adds a raft of new songs to complement their EPs super FLORENCE jam and We Always Knew It Would Come To This as well as their live album You’ve Had It Too Easy For Too Long.

The band comments: “It’s not quite right to say that this EP will take you back to 2012. It is completely timeless. It serves as a greatest hits compilation because our best work was usually our most recent, and it’s called 60 Big Ones because each one of these songs is worth ten normal songs. 

We are indebted to sleepmakeswaves’ Alex Wilson, without whom this 21 minutes and 27 seconds of us contending with our younger selves would never have seen the light of day. We would also like to thank everyone this EP is for – whoever you are. Here lies super FLORENCE jam … still alive.”

60 Big Ones is out November 15, 2024 via Bird’s Robe Records on streaming services and CD.

Yoo Doo Right “From The Heights Of Our Pastureland”

Artist: Yoo Doo Right
Title: From The Heights Of Our Pastureland
Format: LP, Digital
Label: Mothland
Distribution: The Orchard

Genre: Experimental Rock
Release Date: 08/11/2024

From The Heights Of Our Pastureland is an expanding succession of highly dynamic musical epics intertwined with emotionally-charged sonic explorations. Whether carefully harvesting melodic soundscapes, repeating mantra-like arrangements with mechanical precision, digging unfathomably deep amidst abyssal electrical signals, or simply saturating reels with raucous abandon, Yoo Doo Right set out to further develop ideas they previously started exploring, in turn offering a third full-length that is darker, heavier, even more ominous than their previous works.

The band comments: “We aimed for something cinematic, but not in the way of a score, rather something more experiential. We wanted to create music that could ignite drive in oneself, hopefully something of significance in and of itself. While we’re really not here to force understanding on people, for us the predominant themes are anxiety and patience, the storm of colonialism, the collapse of capitalism and the massive undertaking it is to rebuild with past mistakes taken into deep consideration. It draws a parallel between natural disaster and social disaster, the experience of watching an impending destructive storm roll in and watching an impending societal disaster unfold under our current colonial, capitalistic frameworks. Hopefully, folks can give themselves time to make some sensible thoughts of the album on their own.

Yoo Doo Right began writing From The Heights Of Our Pastureland while visiting a remote cabin near Saguenay, QC in the Winter of 2023. Snowed in, Cober, Masson and Talbot simply played for three days straight, archiving anything and everything, musing about “the storm of colonialism, the collapse of capitalism and the massive undertaking it is to rebuild with past mistakes taken into deep consideration”, and ultimately laying the groundwork for their third opus. Thus, the album draws deep inspiration from parallels drawn between natural phenomena ranging from bad weather to environmental disasters and the equally overwhelming force of our socio-political frameworks. Also compelled by the commodification of art, AI and algorithmic art, the trio later revisited the pieces, altering their initial compositions by way of element juxtaposition and extensive sound design. In embracing their penchant for sonic manipulation in all of its forms, the experimentalists achieved an uncanny equilibrium between unresolved tensions and soothing resolutions.

To commit the album to tape, Yoo Doo Right chose producer Seth Manchester (Battles, Lightning BoltLingua Ignota) at Machines with Magnets (Pawtucket, RI), before turning to Amar Lal (YlangYlang, Patio, Washer) at Macro Sound (Oakland, CA) for mastering duties, poised to unearth their best work to date. The resulting 42 minutes of experimental rock found on From The Heights Of Our Pastureland feel like a beautiful yet sinister sonic tempest, aptly showcasing the Montrealers’ artistic resolve and eerie creativity. Highly recommended for fans of Godspeed You! Black EmperorBig|Brave or METZ.

From The Heights Of Our Pastureland  will be out November 8th, 2024 via Mothland on vinyl/ digital.
