New Music 10/2022 – Rosalía, Torres, Nilüfer Yanya
Tag: music
I kinda slowed down on the new music in the past few months, and music in general to be honest, because for some reason I’ve preferred listening to YouTube creators and podcasts lately. However I did find time for a few great releases from this and past years.
Moonage Daydream – Film Review
An ambitious, kaleidoscopic David Bowie documentary that’s both intoxicating and exhausting, Moonage Daydream is a glorious feast for the eyes and ears that throws everything but the kitchen sink onscreen.
The Hu @ 170 Russell
I never expected to post about a concert by a Mongolian folk metal band, but now and then YouTube throws something truly special your way, and when they stop by your city you just have to see them. As it turned out, these guys put on one hell of a show.
Amyl and the Sniffers @ Forum Theatre
A last-minute ticket purchase turned out to be the best gig of the year so far! It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced a night of such pure unadulterated punk rock energy.
New Music 07/2022 – Dry Cleaning, Brandi Carlile, Tori Amos
Wiry and playful post-punk; classic songwriting and a great voice; a sparkling return to form, fifteen years in the making.
Zulya Kamalova @ Primrose Potter Salon
I enjoyed an intimate and nostalgic evening dedicated to Cruel Romance, the Russian ballad-style songs about the darker and sadder side of life.
MSO: The Music of John Williams @ Hamer Hall
I was already plenty pumped to hear the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra play John Williams’ greatest hits, but this special celebration of the 90th birthday of the film score maestro turned out to be even more magical.
Kasey Chambers @ Palais Theatre
Another concert that got delayed and delayed and delayed yet again finally happened! Great show with something old, something newer, and a country cover of Eminem I never knew I wanted.
New Music 04/2022 – Arlo Parks, Bicep, The Weather Station
A thoroughly charming neo-soul debut; an electronic album by a Northern Irish DJ duo; a quietly beautiful record about grief and climate change.
Amadou & Mariam @ Elisabeth Murdoch Hall
