As if to drive home the point made in my review of Program's Show Me, yesterday here's yet another great sounding record coming down the pike from Melbourne, Australia. Cooperation, the fourth album in all from The Vacant Smiles, all rough edged harmonies and ragged Psychedelic Garage energy.
Joining the dots between The Black Lips, The Hoodoo Gurus The Paisley Underground and The Easybeats, Cooperation is yet another blast of hot Australian sunshine, timely just as it gets dark in this part of the world, though it does rather make you wish you were in Melbourne yourself right now.
I've just discovered another! Big Supermarket have a lo-fi, early Flying Nun sound that I rather like. See https://bigsupermarket.bandcamp.com/album/1800
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Darren. Listening to that now. Sounds great!
