Didion's Bible — EP

Didion's Bible is the coming together of five prolific Boorloo-based musicians and artists. Their fourth EP, Faster Than You Think, combines trance link rhythm section parts, carefully orchestrated layering, and lyrics that dance between the everyday and the abstract.

Faster Than You Think is the RTRFM Local Feature for the week of August 28, 2023.

Corella Saxophone Quartet — Kinjarling

The debut album from Boorloo/Perth-based Corella Saxophone Quartet is a melodic and meditative exploration of place, featuring all new works commissioned by the ensemble for this project. Composers Ellie Cummings, Glyn MacDonald, Billie Court, Hanae Wilding, Kieran Toye and Erin Royer were asked to draw on their experience of Western Australia in creating these pieces. The result is music undulating in tempo and dynamic whilst remaining relaxed and sensitive throughout, ideal for long listening. The Quartet perform these new works exquisitely.

Corella Saxophone Quartet is:
Bridget Cleary – soprano saxophone
Mia Vuković – alto saxophone
Kieran Toye – tenor saxophone
Erin Royer – baritone saxophone

Recorded and mixed by Lee Buddle at Crank Recording

The Drowners — Biting Nails

The Drowners reveal their first single of 2023 with Biting Nails. Taking a strong British alt influence of bands like Placebo and Suede. A dark and clear vocal performance is backed by uptempo, crisp drumming, gritty guitars, and even grittier synths.

Biting Nails makes the RTRFM Sound Selection for the week starting July 3rd, 2023.

L0K — a Place to Call Home

L0K presents their debut solo record A Place to Call Home, out today. I’d describe this as hyper detailed, lo-fi music, featuring intricate textural layers adorned with completely listenable melodies.

The record finds a rarely heard balance between attention to detail, an embrace of the organic flow of music, and a pop/mainstream sensibility. There is a sense of real artistic depth, with all eleven songs describing an aspect of an intricately recorded and produced world.
