Colour Kane – A Taste Of Colour Kane – A Taste Of
Excerpt: “Fall Electric play a spare, stripped-down rock that’s neither lo-fi nor roots music as such — instead, they resemble a calmer, reflective version of acts like the Black Watch, with strings a key part of the instrumentation but playing engaging songs that often start from acoustic guitar rather than electric… Lead singer Andrew Ryan’s voice has the calm, self-possessed sense of a singer like Butterfly Child’s Joe Cassidy, a bit sprightlier at points as a song like ‘Plastic Rabbits’ shows, but not without a sense of hidden depths… it’s the music that comes to the fore time and again, an easy swing that drummer Pete Guazzelli carefully carries with authority, bursting out in full only when he needs to rather than as a matter of course.”

Excerpt: “Apricot Rail has this post rock instrumental lark down pat. As if some fresh breezes wafted down from the West Australian wheat belt this quintet play the line between rock, instrumental soundscape and a border edged skirmish with pop and experimental… It is almost as if on their first outing they have achieved a ‘mature sound’ without having to go through the teething stages of raw visceral grunge… With the interesting tunings of the guitar, the giddy delight of intricacies and nuance of instrument voices, an excellent hold on movement between stylistic patterns as flourishes and displays of control Apricot Rail seem intent to prove that rock and roll may not die but may well usurp itself into the academy.”
