Sleeve Notes.<\/strong><\/p>\n Geography dictates that, to some, Australia may forever remain as the Romans once saw it, as the “unknown land of the south”. However as technology conquers territory, distance becomes increasingly insignificant – a fact that is clearly illustrated on this first instalment of New Weird Australia. <\/strong>In borrowing (and expanding) ‘new, weird’ terminology, we hope to shrink the notion of distance between innovative Australian artists and their international compatriots; between the dot points on the vast map of our own land and between definitions of genre, taste or style. Tracklisting.<\/strong> Press.<\/strong>
\nFor Volume One, we find ourselves narrowing the gap of the 4,000km range from the precision edit and bluegrass glitch of Brisbane’s Anonymeye<\/strong>, to the free-jazz of Yugoslavian ex-pat and Perth resident, Predrag Delibasich<\/strong>. We simultaneously compress time – moving from Pimmon<\/strong> (a renowned experimentalist with a significant international back catalogue) through to Kyu<\/strong>, a nascent duo freshly ripped from the Sydney soil. We additionally garner exclusive tracks from Telafonica, Tom Smith<\/strong> (of Cleptoclectics), Raven<\/strong> and Inquiet<\/strong>, and recent releases from Clingtone<\/strong>, Lessons In Time<\/strong>, Battlesnake<\/strong>, Loom<\/strong> and the inappropriately named Brutal Hate Mosh<\/strong>.
\nNeither popular nor alternative, neither one genre nor another, New Weird Australia<\/strong> represents a new breed of Australian musicians that find refuge in the space between us. We hope you enjoy this selection and seek out the full library of work that these artists have to offer.
