Sleepers Union
giant spheres
"some of the best music you'll hear this year" noizyland.com
"Turbines third release should really shove this exciting new label into our collective consciousness" Real Groove
Former Loves Ugly Children and Subliminals mainman Simon Maclaren steps out with a new album. He perfected the infectious pop-punk tunes through the latter half of the 90’s with the adored Loves Ugly Children – a striking threesome who made an impression of both sides of the Hemisphere. Then made a similar impact with The Subliminals’ combination of sonicscapes and irreverent pop.
Now, Sleepers Union sees Maclaren embracing songwriting as he never has before, and creating an album of blissful, pop psychedelia. All the while reminding you - boy, he can play guitar.
Simon "I quit my job, moved to Waiheke Island and immersed myself in the nature trip whilst spewing out the content of the album.
There are no traffic lights and no McDonalds on Waiheke, it is the perfect sanctuary to indulge in free, unhindered and experimental states of mind. Seen in this light, Giant Spheres may be listened to as a document of a transitory and almost weightless period in a certain adult’s life. As Pink Floyd suggested, sometimes you’ve just gotta set the controls for the heart of the sun".
He hooked up with producer Dale Cotton (Conray), and used the promise of free beer to entice guest performances by the likes of Brendan 'Hasselhoff Experiment/Subliminals' Moran + Matthew 'Spud/ Solid Gold Hell' Heine and Francis 'Stereobus' Hunt.
The result is an album of fragile beauty. An enchanting medley of dreams and storytelling. It is undoubtedly Simon Maclaren’s best work yet. It will surprise you. And stun you.
Wake up to springtime with Sleepers Union.
See the band perform live

THE VALENTINES Peculiar Hole In The Sky CD
(Clarion / Ascension)
File Under: Bon Scott / 60s Pop / Psychedelic
CDANSI03
When the death of Bon Scott ended AC/DC few knew that he was a veteran of bands dating back to the 60's. As a member of The Valentines Bon's unusual vocals were touching on ballads, freak beat, psych pop & later bubble gum pop. The Valentines came to a halt in mid 1970 - a stint fronting Sydney blues band Fraternity & an ill fated tour of the UK was the last port of call prior to audition for AC/DC. Nine tracks feature on this CD.
PART CHIMP Chart Pimp CD
(Rock Action Records)
File Under: Rock
ROCKACT12CD
"We like volume. Someone out of Loop said that, when used properly, volume becomes another instrument. This is all very well and good but we haven’t got past the 'just makes everything fucking louder' stage". This is the debut album from new Rock Action players Part Chimp and it's a belter. It really is. Dark and hopefully dangerous lyrical subjects that you can shout along to at any time of day. Mogwai's John Cummings makes his debut producer stint on this album, so you can be sure it sounds like it goes up to 11 on your stereo. "Some sketchy Scottish types (Mogwai again) asked if we would put a record out on their label. We said Aye. The music we play is derived from the music we love; low-brow, knuckle scraping, primal garage punk-rock, heavy metal and country. Live, we sweat." Part Chimp consist of ex members of Ligament and Scarfo - so the sheer throbbing bass noise and contorted rock poses come as no surprise. Excellent stuff!
HIDDEN CAMERAS Smell Of Our Own CD
(Rough Trade/Spunk)
File Under: different
URA103
The Hidden Cameras' The Smell of Our Own captures the essence of lo-fi home recording, while also grasping the abilities of more full-blown studio engineering, delivering an album of beauty and grace. It basks in the warmth of acoustic guitars, while not relying on them all the time to make the songs feel intimate and accessible, takes chances while playing around in the pop realm, and creates stunning arrangements, using strings to fill it out their sound. On The Smell of Our Own, the first LP for the full-membered group, The Hidden Cameras wrap deviancy in Polyphonic Spree packaging and AM-pop sheen. Similar in sound to The Magnetic Fields, The Tall Dwarfs, and the more orchestral moments of Belle & Sebastian, the album begins with strings, organ, and a flourish of harps and voices. The result is a striking album that, though airy and softer more times than not, still jumps out and grabs you and makes you listen.
ADAM GREEN Friends Of Mine CD
(Rough Trade / Spunk)
File Under: singer songwriter
URA107
As half of the Moldy Peaches, Adam Green emerged from New York's "anti-folk" scene, although in the Peaches' case, "porn folk" would be a more appropriate tag: Over acoustic-punk bashing, Green and partner Kimya Dawson traded lines about slipping each other roofies and giving blow jobs for Ecstasy. This heavy reliance on shocking lyrics hurt Green's 2002 solo debut, but Friends of Mine shows off his promise as a songwriter, if not his maturity as a lyricist. Despite some typically icky lines these tuneful, well-kempt songs bubble over with swooning string arrangements, pretty melodies and Green's surprisingly polished crooning. But the real coup is Jessica, a sweetly comic ode to Jessica Simpson in which Green proves he can be an irreverent weirdo and a sentimental sap at the same time.
BARBARA MORGENSTERN Nichts Muss CD
(Monika / Spunk)
File Under: German
URA104
Since 1998, and the release of her debut album Vermona ET 6-1, people have been struggling to describe Barbara Morgenstern's music accurately. Really, why bother when you could just let the music do the talking? And talk it does. With dreamy confidence, Ms. Morgenstern combines the charisma of her voice with inspiration and even more songwriting talent, and the result is an amazing mixture, betraying an emotional vulnerability that manages to bypass the fact that the lyrics are sung in her native German tongue. Having received rave reviews for her two previous albums, Vermona and Fjorden in recent months, this release is set to find Morgenstern a new, much wider audience, reflecting her unique position among female operators in emotion-led electronic / acoustic pop music. Nichts Muss is Barbara's third album for female only Berlin label monika enterprise (besides various EP`s, singles and remixes). Produced with Berlin's own dubmeister Pole, with a little help from Thomas Fehlmann (who has produced artists as diverse as The Orb and Erasure), Nichts Muss is a prime cut of teutonic electronic beauty; exquisite German pop music which will catapult Barbara into her own orbit, way beyond Indietronics or other typical electronic vocal music.
ENON Hocus Pocus CD
(Spunk)
URA106
Enon is a band from Brooklyn, NY. They used to be a foursome, but are now a solidified three-piece. John Schmersal (guitar, bass, synths, vocals) spent time in a hot-shit band called Brainiac. Toko Yasuda (bass, synths, vocals) has a past with Blonde Redhead and The Lapse. Matt Schulz (drums) used to rock it in The Lab Partners. But that’s really not important now. What is important is that these three found each other and started making music together. Enon takes influences and chops them up, adds a little spice, makes a fine puree, and serves it to you with a smile. Combining elements of Tom Tom Club, Love, early Cure, and, with a flash of Japanese pop and punk aesthetic, Enon sticks them together like some kind of artful mix tape a friend would make you. Bridging gaps. Jumping genres. Blending styles. But let’s not get too scientific about this...Enon is a pop band with a fully loaded clip and a cocked smirk. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain... this record is not here to trick you and that is for certain... it is quite simply the most fun you will have listening to one record this year... if you are looking for a record that has one song rewritten 12 times then take your hands off the Ouija board right here... there will be no two bites of this cake that will taste the same, so bring your appetite and a napkin and lose the shame.
IF IT AIN"T BROKE DON"T FIX IT TOO! Various 2CD
(AKA Ltd)
File Under: Breaks
AKA017
CD1, If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It Too!, is an unmixed compilation of the recent breaks tracks from AKA. A track from Marine Parade also appears. The variety of styles presented gives a good picture of where breaks are at. Styles vary from funky breaks such as Muziq for Pleasure's Intergallactic Mystery, to more chilled breaks in Free Radicals' Summer Breeze (Nu Breed Remix). An interesting electro style of breaks also surfaces with tracks such as Ubin's Peep and Fex's Last Train and also includes tracks by Infusion, Shane Ford and more. CD2, If It Ain't Broke Don't Mix It!, is a mixed compilation by Jeremy Judd whom won AKA's competition from their first release. He grabs the tracks that appeared on the Fix It compilation and mixes them in the way he sees fit. And a damn fine job he's done too.
B(IF)TEK Frequencies Will Move Together 2CD
(Subvocal)
File Under: Electronica
SUBVOX001CD
On their third album, the cheeky chops brains behind b[if]tek, the Australian electronic group most likely to break out of the nerdy ghetto, have taken a step or two back from the commercially compatible, and often amusing, dance sounds of their previous release, 2020. Nicole Skelteys and Kate Crawford are still capable of an insinuating call to the dance floor such as Hi-fi, where Crawford whispers it's not about the future over one of their best fast-lane-on-the-autobahn moments. There are a couple more songs that work a Kraftwerk-like swaying rhythm, such as the opening track, Guide and Receive, and Read to Me. Those beats are gone, though, well before you're half way into the album and then it becomes clear that Crawford and Skelteys are toying more with atmosphere, and dark atmosphere at that. Whether it's in the low-frequency throbbing of Afternoon on the Porch, the tense interventions of For Your Seventh Birthday or the quasi-film noir of Convergence (where the sampled voices go from criminal intent to moonwalker), b[if]tek's ambience is clouded, chilled and moody. Interestingly, though, while cool it is not distant. There's never a sense of alienation in these tracks: you always feel connected to a story, even if it's one you imagine yourself. There's more distance but simultaneously a more pronounced rhythmic pull in the album's second disc, a collection of remixes of tracks by international electronic artists such as Scanner, Monolake, Clue To Kalo, Frost amongst others.
THE SENTIMENTAL PLASTIC Rolling Country CD
(Cabbage Tree Records)
File Under: NZ Music
CTR007
The Sentimental Plastic officially releases its debut full-length on Cabbage Tree Records. Rolling Country is a melodic guitar pop sparkler with rural country overtones. Founded by brothers Sean and Regan O’Brien and their sister Anna, Sentimental Plastic was recently joined by cousin Andrew Carey who returned to New Zealand from Europe. Andrew, Sean and Regan were part of 1990s popsters The Livids and sound-scapers Trough. The Livids played the Big Day Out in 1997 and also performed for Flying Nun’s God Save The Clean tribute. The music reflects our background," says Sean, recalling many mornings helping his father in the cowshed. "We remembered all the influences from the sounds we listened to in the cowshed as kids. For us it's a bit like going back to our roots. It doesn't try to be anything that it's not. There's no persona in the music.
MOGWAI Happy Songs for Happy People CD
(Chemikal Underground / Spunk)
File Under: Post rock / Mogwai
URA101
Happy Songs for Happy People is the fourth studio album from Mogwai Happy Songs for Happy People, is a befitting name for a summer record whose song titles allude to paranoia, vague threats, the Bible, boundless horrors and '80s hair metal. It sounds, glibly, like a Mogwai album, or at least like a band who have such a confident and accomplished understanding of what they want their music to be that all the old influences and comparisons seem more redundant now than ever before. Happy Songs for Happy People is compact - just over 40 minutes - and extraordinarily skilful at sucking you in. The big crescendos don't come after long passages of quiet, they grow organically and stealthily. The metal power, the hardcore methodology, the pastoral prettiness are hard to separate any more. Rather, they exist in a state of grace that's moving and inspiring and all those other vague emotions music regularly promises, but rarely delivers. It is without doubt Mogwai's most ambitious record to date; cinematic and panoramic in its scope; and saturated in melody. It marks a move further into subtler realms. It is the sound of band that is happy in themselves and confident in pushing the envelope forward. It should also be remembered that Mogwai are not, repeat not, dry, muso, knob-twiddling boffins. They thrive as a live band, leaving audiences drop-jawwed with their magisterial might.
DAMIEN JURADO Where Shall You Take Me? CD
(Secretly Canadian)
File Under: singer songwriter
SRP020
"Anything Elliot Smith can do, this man can do better." NME
Arriving just a year after the surprisingly eclectic and electric rock of I Break Chairs, Damien Jurado's Where Shall You Take Me? is something of a return to the moody minimalism of albums like Ghost of David. Songs like Amateur Night and Omaha share the acoustic strumming and rustic, shuffling rhythms of his earlier work, but also have a subtly polished confidence that brings out the warmth in Jurado's singing and playing as never before. The country and folk elements always present in his music come to the fore on Abilene and Window, which, with its sweet, close harmonies, borrows equally from the traditions of bluegrass and hymns. A devotional thread runs through Where Shall You Take Me?, particularly on its second half, where I Can't Get Over You and Tether contrast love's complexities with deceptively simple melodies and arrangements. While Where Shall You Take Me? might be less ambitious than its predecessor, it certainly has its own compelling charms; the album has an off the cuff, direct feel that suggests it was recorded with a few friends over the course of an afternoon, particularly on songs like Matinee. More importantly, Jurado's singing and songwriting are affecting in virtually any setting and on any scope. Where Shall You Take Me? is a small triumph.
PERNICE BROTHERS Yours, Mine & Ours CD
(Ashmont Records/Spunk)
File Under: alt country
URA096
Yours, Mine, and Ours, the third album from Boston act the Pernice Brothers, is a sunny, breezy affair, with elegant melodies that are built for harmonies. In opening track The Weakest Shade of Blue, vocalist Joe Pernice asks for a lover's hand in marriage over a jangly guitar that brims with anticipation. Even One Foot in the Grave, which hints at a car crash in the rain, is driven by an exhilarating '60s-influenced guitar line and pep-rally rhythm. For a bandleader who has a reputation on the indie scene as being as dour as Morrissey, the music of Yours, Mine, and Ours represents a surprisingly upbeat turn of events. Indeed, when the Pernice Brothers opt to slow things down, as the group does on How to Live Alone, the orchestrated pop recalls Wilco's Summerteeth . From start to finish, Yours, Mine, and Ours glides along at a far more cheery pace than anything the Pernice Brothers have previously recorded. Pernice, who made his name leading alt-country downers the Scud Mountain Boys, released Yours, Mine, and Ours on his own Ashmont Records, which he started with the help of some friends who had worked at Sub Pop, his former label. Yours, Mine, and Ours is Ashmont's second release from the Pernice Brothers.
THE RECTIFIERS Wear The Weight Of The Resting Sun CD
(Sensory Projects)
File Under: post rock / alt country / damn fine
SRP018
Since their formation in 1996 The Rectifiers have released one album and one EP through Way Over There – former home to Machine Translations and Disaster Plan, and toured extensively, playing shows with Cat Power, Joe Pernice, the Flying Burrito Bros, Tim Rogers, and Josh Rouse. Members Todd Denham (keyboards, bass), Jo Volk (vocals, guitar), Nick Volk (keyboards, electronic trinkets and gadgets), David Lord (Hammond organ, Wurlitzer), Paul Rigby (pedal steel) and Rich Young (drums) have moved on some since their first two releases back in 1998 and 1999, combining their ‘traditional’ strengths with some beautiful new forms, namely derived from loops and samples, sweeping keyboards and sublime arrangements. The glorious vocals of Jo Volk are the cornerstone of Wear The Weight Of The Resting Sky, his warm tones recalling those of Joe Pernice or Jeff Tweedy’s dulcites on the quieter Wilco tunes. The now three keyboard players in The Rectifiers contribute the sound base for this record, drawing away from their alt-country stance to create something incredibly rich and thoroughly contemporary. Thick with melodies and layered arrangements, each track is a labour of love of incredible depth, leaving an air of vivid recollection and character. Wear The Weight Of The Resting Sky does not glow through its familiarity or its similarity, although for numerous reasons it’s assured that critics will cite Radiohead, Beck, Hood, cLOUDDEAD, The Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev as sharing the same mindset of musical insight.
ADULT. Anxiety Always CD
(Spunk / Ersatz Audio)
File under: future music
URA105
Anxiety Always from Detroit's premier paranoids Adult. is here, 10 hard-hitting new songs about the times we live in, and how the more things change, the more things stay the same. Songs laced with sardonic humour, about the ironic details of relationships, the apprehension of public life, and songs about nothing - literally - about nothingness! Adult. Features married-manics Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller. While not working on Adult., they also run the Ersatz Audio label, that releases most of their music. It's tempting to call it one of the most messily brilliant things we'll see all year. If the duo's buzzy neurosis was enough to drive some people nuts before, the raw jumping and nagging of Anxiety Always will sound to many like the shoddiest, most amusical sham to be held up as a masterpiece in many of our lives. No joke: this album would annoy all hell out of some of you. But if you're at all ready to run with it, you might find yourself in one of the more fun positions music lovers can get into: wondering for ten minutes whether you're hearing an embarrassing wreck or a stroke of genius, and then realising in an ecstatic flash that it is so the latter.
HAR MAR SUPERSTAR You Can Feel me CD
(Record Collection / Spunk)
File Under: Crazyman whose going to be huge
URA102
Loud. Lascivious. Un-F#@King-Believable. Who ever said suburban Minnesota white boys can't rock? Foremost, Har Mar Superstar is an entertainer. Sent from above bearing unrequited soul and multihued briefs, the portly Casanova’s rhythms have allowed Minnesota's Sean Tillmann the opportunity to throb his way into our heads, hearts, and pants. Not a fan? You will be. Har Mar Superstar is not a singer or a songwriter‹he is a god-damned revolution. Stealing the show from brilliant acts like the Strokes, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Incubus, Kelly Osborne, and Hot Hot Heat, Har Mar provides sweet relief from the music industry's methodical ass-chaff. Har Mar Superstar fans and they are everywhere will attest to this, and with violent rapture. Aflame with rhythm and exuding an unnatural sex all his own, Har Mar Superstar takes the stage with a steadfast minidisc backup band, gushing out beats like he just can't hold it any longer. And the dancing oh, the dancing!
