Label Review.
2016 mini album.
Our Overview.
The Australian Melbourne boys Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, 2016 album ‘Talk Tight’ received great praise on its release last year via Ivy League Records in the bands home country, but this is the first time it’s been available internationally and the first time it is available on vinyl anywhere.
‘Talk Tight’ garnered the band critical acclaim in their home country and in the US, where Pitchfork gave the record an 8.0 and described it like so: “Seven rip-roaring tracks that move by their own logic, any one of which could be a single and all of which leave you wanting more in the best way possible... Listening to these seven tunes, you can easily trace a national lineage: the relentlessness of Radio Birdman, the pop literacy of the Go-Betweens, the rambunctious energy of the Easybeats, and the belief - shared with Courtney Barnett - that guitars are not just crucial to the message but might very well be the message themselves.”
Lighthearted post-punk feels like it should be a paradox, but the Melbourne lads prove that it works. The band released their Sub Pop debut, ‘The French Press EP’, earlier in 2017 and they are currently working on their first full length album and have a really promising 2017 stretching out ahead of them.
