Description:
Primary Colours comes out May 3, but the launch at The Corner isn't until May 31 (a long time). Don't you want to hear them play it now? Sure, you can't do any rafter-hanging at Missing Link but you can't do any drinking longnecks there either. ECSR are supported by UV Race, who, according to one reviewer, "wanted to make a band like the Ramones but ended up doing something better (thank fuck cos the Ramones suck except for that Warthog song).

7 Songs, Fabulous Diamonds
Minimal psychniks Fabulous Diamonds release their debut longplayer, 7 Songs, this week, and - as befits one of Melbourne's most idiomatic acts - it's a stoned cold stunner. With maximal overdubbing, longer length tracks and lush, atmospheric tape production, the duo sound more weighty and affective here than ever; their delay-on-everything style, swirling tiers of dub percussion, skronking sax and chanted vocals intensified by close analogue studio attention.
Missing Link
Missing link was started in 1977 by Davd Pepperell and one-time manager of The Birthday Party, Keith Glass. A giant of Australia's punk music scene, Glass also headed Missing Link Records, the label that put out such seminal bands as The Go-Betweens, The Laughing Clowns as well as The Birthday Party.
Free Choice / Super Star split cassette
This limited edition, lime-green-coloured split cassette is a strange and compelling mix of ambient sound concerns and punkish performance technique. Local acts Free Choice and Super Star have both contributed a single, twelve-minute track - one per side - and both are totally Cactus in terms of whacked-out inventiveness and sheer, brilliant conceit.
Sad Sun EP
Naked On The Vague are thrillingly deep in a woods all their own on Sad Sun - a new EP on rising Melbourne label, Sabbatical Records. No one in the country makes claim to as spectrally macabre or chilly territory as this eerie Sydney duo right now, whose sound has moved from bracing synth punk (see DualPlover debut 7") to a full-blown Gothic expression of cosmic dread on this, only their second release.
Fluorescent Grey
Deerhunter's Fluorescent Grey EP is the dream existential suicide, insofar as you can commit it / listen to it more than once. There are only four songs, but each is a chemically lucid vignette of hazy psych-sex. Saturated in the sounds of transcendental death, the record plays out as an extended epiphany as good as the calm part of drowning is meant to be.
