Is this one of the cutest post punk/ New Wave all girl bands on the planet? YES! Melbourne is brewing some great Muzak, thank heavens for Bandcamp, Radio in Australia has been obsolete for 40+ years. James .R. Dixon
There is something about Australian 'indie' pop that is clearly unique and second to none when at it's best. Drawing on a long and proud history arguably beginning in the post-punk era of the late 70's influences such as The Go Betweens and early Triffids can be heard. There's also a deliberative nod to the Dunedin Sound of bands such as The Clean and The Chills.It's unassuming, jangly guitar with shared male & female vocals. Nostro
This LP is, as we say in Australia, a ripper. Perfect from start to finish with it's jangly sounds and melodies, but still with a fair bit of an edge to it. It's hard not to listen to it all in the one sitting, though at only 22 and a half minutes you pretty much can anyway. The short length of the album is the only fault I can find, and Chitter Chatter is, I reckon, one of the tracks of the year. No. 48 in my Top 100 Albums Of 2016 & Chitter Chatter No. 12 in my Top 20 Tracks Of 2016. Gavin Hellyer
