Songs are a Sydney based band (featuring members of New Zealand’s post-punk wailers This Night Creeps and Ela Stiles of sisterly-duo The Said Sos) that do only simple things. From their single-syllable handle to their hand-drawn artwork to their music itself; it all has to be simple. Their debut LP makes a smooth transition from NZ influenced pop (via labels such as Flying Nun) through to the more interesting elements of Krautrock. This track for instance has a killer build up to drone.
MP3: Songs – My Number
One of my favourite tracks by one of my favourite bands, Wire, covered by one of my other favourite bands, My Bloody Valentine. Hard to beat (though the original is fantastic too. Incidentally this was the last track MBV recorded before their long hiatus in the 90’s.
