FRESH FRETS
GREATEST HITS
THEY ARE everything great about Australia’s thriving indie-rock scene squeezed into the one bottle. It all makes sense when you find out this terrific trio hail from the Gold Coast – they make bright, bouncy tunes perfect for summer jaunts along the sand, ripened with ultra-sharp, ‘70s styled guitar lines hitting that perfect sweet spot between jangliness and fuzz.
THEY SOUND LIKE a relic of a better time – around ten months ago, when we were soaking in all the vibes at whatever summer festival would let us through the gates. They’re perfectly suited for a mid-arvo groove at something like Splendour The Grass; but until such a time is possible again, we recommend cranking up the car speakers, chucking on “Lemon Joe” and taking in the breeze.
YOU’LL DIG THEM IF YOU LIKE MGMT, Babe Rainbow and Tame Impala – but also getting up early, hitting the surf and topping it off with a shot of espresso and a cold shower, rather than a blunt and a bath. Their jams are a little more on the jovial side, suited better for a boogie than a swoon.
