Curse Ov Dialect – Crisis Tales – Staubgold Records
Australian hip-hop? It does exist. Very unpredictable. Everyone is addicted to ADD. They are sinking deeper. If you don’t like the weather, just wait a few moments.

The Breakaways – Walking Out On Love – Alive Records
Between The Nerves and The Plimsouls, Peter Case had The Breakaways. Way better than Plimsouls. Many people will feel old and young.

Auld Lang Syne – Midnight Folly – Viper Bite Records
Demonic highway jams. Buzzed enough to be honest. A rusted prayer. Never enough banjos in the firelight.

The Evening Rig – Is Doin Stuff – Heart of Champion Records
A time machine would make these guys millionaires. Every track a potential one-hit wonder in 1995. Perfect for a fan of early Bryan Adams.

Clem Snide – Hungry Bird – 429 Records
Sometimes Sleater Kinney with a penis, other times Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Paranoid Android, but most of the time a soundtrack for a hike through deciduous memories.

The King Khan & BBQ Show – Invisible Girl – In the Red Records
Never enough tambourine for malt shop dreams. The love child of Buddy Holly and Roky Erickson and AM radio. Who said the soul was dead?

Flaming Lips – Embryonic – Warner Brothers
Not even naval gazing. Back to the youthful beach, Lips surf their inner butthole. Waves of NEU! and krautrock grooves.

Totally Nebular – Boat Boat – Family Friends Records
Giddy-up rainbows. High-octane jittery and manic at an ADD pace pop music, where twee screams of ‘woo woo’ replace ‘la la’ and the twirl of knobs fling repeating ribbons of sound that could only be described as a twinkle in a glittering atmosphere as equally important as bass.

DYSE – ''Leider sind Bruder der Revolution__ – Exile on Mainstream Records
Some tracks they sing in German, er, shout in German as the album strives for epic dirge, throwing in fun ones to show they take themselves too seriously, with operatic trumpets, speed metal, funk rhythms, a drinking song for robots, and bird chirp interludes.

Dragon Turtle – Almanac – La Societe Expeditionnaire
Ambient campfire. The last day of summer, on a canoe in the middle of the lake, lots of paranoid mumbles about the sky. A Tom Waits space cadet always returning to the lonesome guitar, a melancholy strum that meanders along striving to establish a substantiating sequence of chords, yet the entire sequence was it all along… that kind of album.

The Amazing – Code 2 – Mexican Summer
Laid back psych, way back, swaying on the best qualities, like a super-computer studied the past and built the components to only intertwine and maintain the most necessary substances that demonstrated the mountain top.

Pink Skulls – Endless Bummer – RVNG Records
Are you always dancing to house music? Somebody got too drunk on purple rain and got a Miami Sound Machine tattoo on the only place it would look good and wants to serenade you with flutes, bongos, synths, and backwards sounds.

Woodsman – Collages – Mexican Summer
A hazy trance of guitars contained in a snow globe of amber fragments, but the environment always shaking, always stirring colors around the inner mirage of a labyrinth of sparkles. The soundtrack to Alice in Wonderland spaghetti western.
