Gold Fields Black Sun (Astralwerks)
This Aussie power indie-pop quintet recorded three times ad the rehashed sound is tight and does a decent job of refining the genre. The “awoo-ohs” of “Dark Again” take the chorus to bubble gum level and the saucy beat pattern of “Moves” strongly recalls the Arctic Monkeys. This band, however, is much stronger when experienced live.
Watch the video for “Dark Again” featuring Shaun Ross.
