Rudderless Records Weekly Mailout #30

 

Our weekly look at this weeks new arrivals, re-stock, staff picks and a whole lot more... With this week being the week of Record Store Day our featured albums this week are local acts as we'd like to shine a light and support the brilliant talent that situated in our backyards.

Dust Et Cetera  A contemporary take on Australian post-punk, characterised by immersive guitars and genre bending instrumentation. Get all over this local Newcastle act before they become HUGE! Purchase Dave Favours & The Roadside Ashes Not Your Average Country Band Until We Darken Your Doorstep is a concept album in the truest sense. The songs trawl the depths of murder, betrayal, love won, love lost and love on the run, sung by two partners in crime that are the loves of each other’s lives.  Purchase Sam Shinazzi Days I Won't Forget We wouldn’t call it a concept album, but the concept is simple. Every track on the record tells the story of something that either happened to Sam Shinazzi or people close to him.Contains the singles 'Closing Time' (feat. Katie Brianna) and 'Last Night Bruce Springsteen Saved My Life'.   Purchase William Crighton Water & Dust Water and Dust is the 3rd studio album from the Riverina in Wiradjuri Country-based Alternative-Rock artist William Crighton. Crighton's previous releases have received praise from praise of Rolling Stone, who celebrated Crighton’s “uniquely penetrating storytelling”, Sydney Morning Herald who said “Crighton is a continuation of an Australian songwriting lineage that takes in Slim Dusty and Cold Chisel's Don Walker”. His 2018 album Empire was also named Album Of The Year by Hoodoo Gurus’ Dave Faulkner in the Saturday Paper. Released by ABC Music. Purchase Katie Brianna This Way Or Some Other The stunning new album. Produced by Adam Young and featuring members of the the Cruel Sea, Daisygrinders, Big Heavy Stuff, the Clouds, Front End Loader and Spurs For Jesus. Purchase Ben Leece Skywatching/Marrow Gold Two EPs on one 12" record. So why two EPs instead if a good old-fashioned album? Well, they can be seen as both a nod to the past and the future. Skywatching features the singles 'Magpie', 'Pigeons' and 'Sundowner', whilst Marrow Gold features the epic title track (feat. Melody Pool) and Ben's show-stopping cover of Paul Weller's 'The Changingman'. Purchase

Rudderless Records/Brixton ANZ To celebrate AUS Music Month, we have teamed up with Rudderless Records’ Ben Leece to create 5 Wednesday’s on Wax playlists, diving into different genres of music. With music being an important aspect to all things Brixton, we are excited to share these playlists each week with you.⁣ ⁣⁣ This week’s playlist genre is Country. It's no secret the Country music scene has sky-rocketed in Australia over recent years, so this weeks genre is country/alt country/folk/roots & Australiana. Cosmic songwriters, singers and honky tonk slingers. Australia has a long rich history of alternative country and roots music and the future is looking real bright. 'Torch & Twang' - Spotify Playlist Rudderless Records 3rd Birthday It's Sophie's choice picking a Pixies album, but this one's my favourite for the nostalgia around it. It's back to back bangerz, a journey of moods, complete with a cover of Jesus & Mary Chain's 'Head On'. Pixies Forever! Pixies - Trompe Le Monde Super Chill Fridays Last Friday was another great night of the Akasha Super Chill Sessions by Rudderless Records and The Eddies.
