The Swiss – Bubble Bath (Glimmers Plastic Edit) by The Swiss

The only live band I have seen this year that really impressed me was the Swiss – sorry everyone else. They are the coolest ever. I  can’t put my finger on it but there is something more to them than just a trio super talented musicians letting loose. I think we are all waiting with baited breath for the their second EP out on Modular.

Triple J’s accolades are sure to be the first of many to come over the next few months for the new EP with tracks like Bubble Bath – available to stream on Triple J. Check out their interview aswell – Tony is pretty funny.

Lost Valentinos are hands down one of the most interesting indie bands in Australia at the moment. After what seems like an eternity of waiting their debut album produced by Ewan Pearson is finally upon us – it almost felt like waiting for the Avalanches second album.

After the success of every single song on their debut EP being exceptional (Man With A Gun, Kafka!, CCTV and my favourite Sell Yourself) it seemed like an album of “Silent Alarm” Proportions was imminent.

Instead they released another EP where their sound had completely changed and chose lush shoegazing textures over angular dance punk. The album wasn’t without its killer single – Nightmoves which featured some cool remixes form Comets ( one of the dudes from Riot in Belgium and one from Cut Copy) as well as their own remix under the Knifemachine moniker.

The album is finally arriving on 09.09.09. I haven’t listened to it yet but from what I have heard from its producer Ewan Pearson ( a really amazing electronic producer and DJ) makes me have high hopes – “it’s a really diverse record with loads of character and excitement. They were really ambitious and went wherever their fancy took them really; it doesn’t sound like another identikit indie-dance record”.

Midnights is one of the first singles from the new album and is being released on 12” by Dummy. The song is very strong but it’s the superb remixes that make it amazing. Clocking in at over 13 minutes the Emperor Machine remix extends the groove for a sonic journey through time and space. The Fan Death remix is a prime piece of (conquista)disco, the opening synths are to die for.

A preview of what Thursday night may look like.

The EP “Movements” is testament to what lies at the core lifestyle of The Swiss: crisp and snappy drums that cause pregnancies, quicksand lazer-sludge bass, dizzy pops & flourishes, melody rays and synthesised strings that glide on the thermal currents of life. It’s as much a breathy telephone call as it is a mid-range Bordeaux shared between ensconced lovers.

Produced by Donnie Sloan (Empire Of The Sun), “Movements” is a jam-lover’s jam. A first-class ticket aboard the Jam Express, all the way to Jam Central, Jamsville, the Jamniverse.
