An electronic sound scape with a very organic, Australian feel. I can hear the Cicadas, I can hear bugs crawling over dead leaves & I can feel the chill & purple of dusk. Samples are tidy but raw. The true work of a perfectionist! She's polished the smooth ares until they shine & roughed up her beats up, leaving them frayed & cracked. Oh and then, yes, she sings like a pretty ghost over the top. Or angel, maybe, as the song title suggest.

Moody, sparse, melancholic. With crying guitars and breathy vocals both sweet & strong. This song is seductive & distant. I love it! I'm also getting a little hot cos aren't they from Brisbane? I've never heard of them or seen them before now, which goes to show the system works. Thank you Unearthed Jukebox I'm going to their next gig.

Oh, well this track is very ambient & electronic. I think it's best suited for late night train trips home after a long hard day at Uni, cocktail parties and sunday afternoons (the weekend wind down).

Very nice! Lovely & melodic. You can't compare this band to either Belle & Sebastian, Clap your Hands Say Yeah or The Libertines but there's a hairs width of all three in this tops work song. If you like lovely things like summer, long island iced teas & boys, then this song will get you in the mood for all three. Also, this song moves like a movie soundtrack & will make you want to act on the above three things simultaneously at a drive in theatre. They don't sound too British as well (which I think is a good thing since we come from Australia).

This song transports me back to my favourite era in music. The 90s! Please let Running With Horses support L.A. indie band Giant Drag sometime soon. If so, you'd find me in a corner blissing! out! Groaning guitars & slack grunge drums topped off by this ladies husky, careless voice! So appealing, pull me up a mattress & let's watch the ceiling.

Think of this song as the support band for Tim Rogers album 'What rhymes with cars & girls'. It has the same beautiful, country feel as most tracks on that classic release but 'Paper cuts' is more modern & smoked less cigarettes. Proving d.Rogers knows 'cigarettes will kill you'. A wonderful duet, foot-tapping homely percussion & a bucketful of sincerity makes this song instantly appealing & lastingly memorable!

Is there such a thing as folk-funk? Probably ( LOL I look like a true nerd!). Well, this song is funky, folky, catchy and sweet. Kinda like if The Waifs wrote a song for The Violent Femmes & then decided to keep it for themselves. Best listening time is 9 to 10 a.m. & then anytime after that.

Delicious! Since a trip to Tokyo earlier this year I have been craving to write a song about that city. Damn, looks like these guys got in first! Short & sweet garage rock with spiky guitars & drums... I can't be sure this isn't my sisters band... but I like the cut of their jib! All hail a new era.

The very best of the Sydney sound, these guys wanna take you to a synthesizer party, where you'll probably feel uncomfortable, but you'll thank them for it later. Angular, delayed guitars support crooning feminine vocals which are the perfect amount of frightful. Did I mention disco beat? You're hooked? Oh, me too.
