(Cath Holland)īody Type say their new album Expired Candy is “filled with hope, love, and danger, dancing with delicious uncertainty.” Aussie girl gang Body Type live up to their promises because Expired Candy is a riot of garage punk rock delivered with a sly grin pointed arrow to the heart.įorged in lockdown it consumes the chaos of a world swirling with division, break ups and breakdowns, populists and narcissists, and delivers an attitude, crammed with heart, intellect and hooky tunes! Big tunes like life-affirming opener ‘ Holding On’ is a soaring, hook-laden track, smeared in hopeful, knowing melodies and sprinkled with jousting, joyous life-affirming choruses, where the protagonist’s longing and messy “monsoon” emotions are kept afloat by friends and aphorisms passed down by family members. Lyrically delightfully bitchy and judgemental – ‘ Spoiler Alert’ is a case in point- but on the flip side, the Crooner is unafraid to let his guard down and shows he’s a big ol’ softie after all, in the sensual ‘Bolero’ and ‘ Goosebumps On A Tuesday Night’ – a song for the lovelorn everywhere. His exquisite cultural tastebuds in singers – never vocalists – doo-wop pop, and European film resulted in an ambitious and adventurous record. Poser and unrepentant music snob Joep Meyer’s debut album, The Perks of Being A Hypocrite is a sophisticated, stylish tongue-in-cheekbones journey in classy classic pop, fired up by gadding gaily around Europe and a lust for Serge Gainsbourg’s wonderful Melody Hotel. Enjoy!Ĭosmic Crooner – The Perks of Being A Hypocrite By no means definitive, it’s an eclectic list of long players that have been exciting us across every genre you can imagine.
