Distant Locust. Most of you would not have heard of these guys. I hadn’t. Now thanks to Negativ Magick, Im on the hunt.
An Australian Post-Punk act, active from ‘86 to ‘96, and apparently much liked by Bowie. This is a solid cover of Donna Summer’s iconic disco anthem, but with that Neg Mag treatment, its gold.
MP3: Distant Locust – I Feel Love (Negativ Magick Edit)
Now a band Ive meant to post for a while now. Melbourne’s own synthpunk/no wave act Chrome Dome. Nihilistic, droning, and captivating live. Go seek out and buy (they even release their albums on cassette).
MP3: Chrome Dome – CMA
Awesome. The Distant Locus track is playing on repeat.
Oh man, just pressed play on Chrome Dome. You guys are killing me with this post.
