Arbes & Julia Why? Double Album Launch ~ The Vanguard, Sydney\/Eora Presented by Third Eye Stimuli Records, Blossom Rot Records, The Vanguard & Great Southern Nights
We bring you a huge double album launch celebrating two new records from Melbourne alt-rock / dream pop group Arbes and Sydney "stargaze" rocker Julia Why? with special guest Misty Lanes Space Station in support.
ABOUT JULIAWHY?
Noise machine JuliaWhy? has just released her third album - dust suspended on a sunbeam - 10 dreamy songs of stargaze written on the Sapphire Coast of NSW. Produced by Steven Schouten with guitarist Kat Harley (Mezko, The Laurels) and now Hollie Mathew on drums, the album oscillates between oceanic shadow and lights from space.
On this release, Julia has found a more expansive and mature sound, while sticking to her "heart on sleeve" anthemic 90s sonic aesthetic. Here, Julia navigates the chaos and complexity of existing in a world that's full of power imbalance while looking to the stars and the beauty of the environment as solace for the things that can feel quite crushing and overpowering. It's about "wanting to fight to protect that beauty and fighting to have hope in moments of hopelessness." JuliaWhy? has toured extensively throughout Australia and Canada, playing alongside Tropical Fuck Storm, Waxahatchee, Hinds, Hatchie, Cosmic Psychos, The Lemon Twigs, Crocodylus and more.
ABOUT ARBES
Arbes' debut record 'Counterways' invites listeners into an unusual sonic world of atmospheric depth. Comparisons can be drawn to New York post-punk of a more colourful bent, running Blondie all the way through to Gang Gang Dance. Counterways is a gentle warmth rubbing against the frisson of something verging punk, in the exploratory and not commodified sense. The mythical and the urban converge: dense, ghostly reverberation meets the functional whirring of a city. But most prominent is the sense of something blissfully airborne tugged gently to the earth; that is Arbes’ own region.
