Very excited to announce Gareth Skinner's signing to Kasumuen Records for his debut band album 'Off // Axis': https://kasumuen.bandcamp.com/album/off-axis

Gareth is renowned for playing integral roles in some of the 90s most ‘out there’ acts (Bzark / Ergot Derivative) as well as being a go to guest musician for ARIA topping albums by Powderfinger, Bertie Blackman, Something For Kate, Gotye, Wagons and many more.

In recent years as well as being a full time member of The Sand Pebbles, Gareth Skinner has been developing his own music, resutling in his debut band album Off // Axis. From a very wide range of musicians Gareth has hand picked a crème of Melbourne musicians to form this band – Ben Michael (The Sand Pebbles), Suzie Lou and Drew Caldwell (Disaster Plan / Breather Hole) - with special guest lead vocals/guitar of Joel Silbersher (HOSS / GOD etc) and Sarah Blaby (Double Vanity) as a member of the live band.

The result is an album which cleverly crosses from elevated, grunge to Arthur Russell-esque minimalist pop.

"Off // Axis" will be available to pre-order from Boxing Day, 26th December, until then enjoy this album taster track, click follow to be kept in the loop

Buddhdatta / Paul Kidney Experience (2023) - mini-review

Japanese band Buddhdatta and Australian band Paul Kidney Experience are out with the split album "Buddhdatta / Paul Kidney Experience", and this is a production that may be of interest also for fans of progressive rock. Buddhdatta is the band that may be furthest from the progressive rock ethos here, with a tight and driving variety of rock music that incorporate many elements from the original rock 'n roll of the late 1950's and combining them with a very specific vocal style, careful mystical keyboard details and occasional folk music details that presumably are of Japanese origin. Australian band Paul Kidney Experience contribute with improvised sounding landscapes that are more floating and exotic sounding creations, often with a little bit of a sacral feel to them too, expressive and elegant in a manner which is hard to describe as well as define. This is an album that should have an appeal among those who treasure music that break and breach conventions and genre boundaries, and then in particular among those with a taste and affection for landscapes that have more of a defined mystic and psychedelic orientation. While probably not music you can define inside of a progressive rock tradition as such, this is music that will appeal also to people with a taste for the progressive rock ethos and ideals I suspect.
