PACIFICTION REVIEW:

Here we have one of Australia's newest bands working in the vein of Nick Cave, Gallon Drunk and the Dirty Three. "She Makes Cookies" is a fast burst of piercing sounds with distinct Pixies-esque vocals. On "Where We All End Up" we have female vocals vaguely reminiscent of Kathleen Hanna placed in front of a driving beat and a wailing violin tirade. Searing violins, surftones and mysterious themes colliding with fast-paced rhythms make this EP an indie-punk treasure.
