There was some interesting music on
Local and/or General (the 3RRR
local music programme) tonight; they played a track by a Sydney band
named
Grace Emily, who sounded somewhere between
Mogwai and The Paradise Motel, or something thereabouts;
brooding, minor-key soundscapes with shoegazing guitar textures and Hammond
and such, and no vocals. Apparently they have an EP out, titled
Caressing the Page; there's a promising review on
this site.
Though chaosmusic.com haven't heard of it.
There was also a great (and rather long) minimalist post-rock instrumental
from an outfit named North Atlantic, who sounded
vaguely like Flying Saucer Attack or Hood or someone from that headspace.
It apparently came off a CD titled A Forest of Masts, which was
sent in to the station, and about which no information seems to exist.
