heya, hope you’re well :) i have some news today 👀

elsewhere (alternate reality) - is out June 13! 🩻

Basically, throughout the process of making ‘elsewhere’ I wanted to establish the setting of each song before I recorded any vocals. The instrumentals of this album were standalone songs for months, completely independent of their final counterparts.

I decided I want to share these versions with you, for without them the heart and sound of the album would be lost. Plus, there’s a lil bonus track that wondered on here too. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now, thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

lots of love,

elle xoxo (28 days until alternate reality is out!)

308: Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever // Hope Downs

Hope Downs Rolling Fevers Coastal Blackout 2018, Sub Pop (Bandcamp)

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, one of those borderline-insufferable indie rock names like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah or Two-Door Cinema Club that seems to confirm every negative stereotype about the genre in a single phrase, rolled into my life in the spring of 2018 and went into near constant rotation for a solid year before slipping almost entirely out of memory until I pulled this record off the shelf today. A Melbourne five-piece with three guitarists who all sing (and all sing kinda the same way), Rolling Fever Coastal Blackouts were owners of the most propulsive jangle of the late part of the decade, the kind of band who put wheels on your feet if you’re walking and wings on your wheels if you’re biking or driving. Absolute summer montagecore lads, and as I sink back into the grooves of their debut LP Hope Downs I’m won over all over again. Nearly any of these songs, with their mileage-eating consistency of four-through-the-floor pace and thousand-yard-stare affect that make three minutes sound like five or seven, could satisfyingly open or close the record or a show. 35 of said minutes is just the perfect amount to leave you balanced on a knife’s edge as to whether to play the whole thing over again if the record’s done and your errand isn’t. There’s an easy mastery of dynamics, the sense of just when to step in with a harmony to kick things up a notch—I’ve seldom heard a better set of these tricks than this record’s “Exclusive Grave.” Jangle pop’s a well-worn genre, so there are plenty of easy names to drop here (Aussie and otherwise), but I don’t think it’s needed—Rolling Coastal Fever Blackouts are a refinement rather than a revolution, but they’re a refinement of a sound that to me’s as necessary to the continuation of life as the song of those ancient monks who can’t stop chanting or the world’ll end. Probably only the spirit-freeing “Talking Straight” transcends Hope Downs’ confines to stand on its own as an enduring anthem, but within its environs, there’s a long ribbon of pleasure that can easily become a figure-eight if you let it.

Pizza Death - Reign of the Anticrust (2023)

Matt Lynch takes a look at Reign of the Anticrust, the new album from Melbourne, Australia's pizza thrash champions Pizza Death, released July 10th on Disdain Records and CoreTex. Originally written for 4ZZZ.

Pizza Death has the toppings of various Melbourne bands and are now two years into a delicious campaign to champion pizza thrash; a campaign in which the gimmick of the band feeds into how good the music is and how good the music is in turn feeds how good the gimmick is. Reign of the Anticrust stuffs 20 tracks of headbanging, fist pumping thrash much like their previous record Slice of Death. On this sophomore release however, the run time is pushed out to a comparatively marathon 27 minutes and this extension allows for all the flavours to be appropriately cooked in and it all melts seamlessly together.

Desire Path - Avenue (2024)

A 'desire path' is an unplanned small trail created as a consequence of mechanical erosion caused by human or animal traffic.

An 'avenue' is a thoroughfare running at right angles to the streets in a city laid out on a grid pattern.

Desire Path are a band from Melbourne who I love very much.

heya, hope you’re well :) had a nice day today. Woke up around 10am and had some breakfast outside, which was lovely. The instrumental for ‘Achilles’ came out as I was doing that lol (link below!).

I cleaned up my room a lil after that and checked up on some music things. Ate some lunch with Prue in between changing my bedsheets, watched some Stardew gameplay, and added subtitles to the ‘lying in the dark with my necklace on’ music video!

Currently I’m chilling in my room, about to get a snack lol. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

lots of love,

elle xoxo
