The Last 5 Years, #80 - 71

Dear Plastic, Lana Del Rey, Emma Louise + The Paper Kites

Hey... welcome back. What are we doing here? Well, to celebrate our 5th birthday, this April we're looking back at our favourite songs from the past five years! Let's listen to some goodness... 

#100 - 91

#90 - 81

#80. FANCY

by Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX

I be the I-G-G-Y put my name in bold

I been working, I'm up in here with some change to throw.

I know a 13 year old who proudly announced recently; “the clip for ‘Fancy’ is the same as this old movie, I don’t know its name…did you know that?” which made me feel really old. Yes, I knew about Clueless long before I-G-G-Y and Ms XCX made their clip. But then I hear those beats and those words “first things first” smash their way through my headphones and age is irrelevant. And ultimately, when my 13 year old friend sings the words “I’m so fancy” she’s still pretending she is. We already know, I am…from L.A. to Tokyo. (Jo Michelmore)

#79. AWKWARD

by San Cisco

I thought I saw you last night

Get out of my life you've been stalking me for days.

I don't know if it's the 'da-da-da-da' nature of the song or the creepy stalker-y aspects of 'Awkward' that keep it stuck in my head for days each and every time I hear it. And maybe that's a bit concerning. But forget about that for a second, because San Cisco gave us one of the catchiest, boppiest, stalk-iest indie pop gems of the past five years and for that I thank them. Still stuck thinking I'm a stalker? Listen to the track. Now Jordi's the stalker. Ha! Please note, we do not encourage or enjoy stalking. I don't think I've ever talked about stalking this much in my life. The power of San Cisco, ladies and gentlemen. (Matt Bond)

#78. I AM NOT A ROBOT

by Marina and The Diamonds

Don't be so pathetic

Just open up and sing.

Ah, Marina and your diamonds, you make me so happy. There’s nothing better than a piano and cute voice to make me feel alright about the world. Pair it with a sweet little pop tune about vulnerability and a little helplessness and the world is just perfect. The clip with Marina looking a little scared, a little scary and a whole lot of fabulous matches the beats so well, it all takes me back immediately to a little time in my life I lived those words “guess what, I’m not a robot” and loved them. I still do. (Jo Michelmore)

#77. VIDEO GAMES

by Lana Del Rey

Swinging in the backyard

Pull up in your fast car

Whistling my name.

"It's you, it's you, it's all for you, everything I do." Say what you want about Lana Del Rey, but girlfriend delivers one heck of a festival singalong with 'Video Games'. Since I feel the need to remind everyone all the time, remember how I went to Glastonbury last year and it was the best thing ever? Yeah, well I did. And 'Video Games' was a big highlight as thousands of people sang along with a shoeless, smoking Lana Del Rey. Remember when the track first came out in 2011? We didn't know anything about the mysterious LDR. No one had gone snooping into her previous attempt as a music identity. The Saturday Night Live incident was yet to occur. What was that even about, I've forgotten already? All we had was this striking beauty with a haunting/mesmerising voice and an unforgettable debut. It was all retro fantastic and the whole world fell in love. Despite some vocal haters, she's still getting a ton of well deserved love today. (Matt Bond)

#76. YOUNG BLOOD

by The Naked and Famous

You keep my secrets hope to die

Promises, swear them to the sky.

It doesn’t matter where I am when I hear The Naked And Famous, every time I hear their sounds I smile a little smile and have a little dance. Admittedly, if I’m in a shop, sometimes it’s more of a sway than a dance, and if I’m in my car it’s more a head nod than a full dance, but get some TNAF on in my lounge and I’m a dancing machine. These are probably not images you need to think about. Things you need to think about are those amazing synths that kick off ‘Young Blood’ and the beats you can’t help but tap to. I haven’t even mentioned that line which is going to be stuck in your head for a good few hours long after you’re too exhausted to dance anymore, e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah. Sorry, couldn’t help myself. You know you love it as much as I do. Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah. (Jo Michelmore)

#75. JUNGLE

by Emma Louise

And we're moving slow, our hearts beat so fast

I've been dreaming, dreaming about you, about us.

Emma Louise is the owner of some of the best indie pop that has been produced in the last five years. She’s also proud owner of one of the most random and amusing instagram accounts this country has ever produced, but that’s something for you to investigate yourself. While the remix ‘My Head Is A Jungle’ might have been the song that helped her achieve some international fame, the original ‘Jungle’ is where the magic is. The keyboards with an immediate sense of doom at the beginning, the beats rapidly matching the thoughts and Emma-Louise’s thoughts so very familiar; “and I’m complicated….my head is a jungle” because don’t try and pretend you haven’t felt that way at some time or another. Emma Louise is the proud owner of so much talent and definitely one of my favourite artists of the last five years.  (Jo Michelmore)

#74. I DON'T THINK YOU LIKE ME

by Tired Lion

Now you're left here by yourself

Alone and no one else.

Do you want to know what my favourite song of 2015 has been so far? No, it's not Redfoo's 'Juicy Wiggle'. It's Tired Lion's 'I Don't Think You Like Me'. Duh. It's the most effortlessly cool rock track we've heard in what feels like forever and leaves us wondering how this four-piece from Perth remains unsigned. Sophie Hopes kills it throughout, with a performance in the spirit of the likes of Vercua Salt's Nina Gordon and Louise Post. There's definitely a 90s vibe coming through, but it's not a 90s track if that makes any sense. It's 90s, but it's now. It's Tired Lion. We want to hear more. (Matt Bond) 

#73. WANT EVERYTHING

by The Verses

And I would write a thousand songs if I thought it would help

Oh but I won't spend another night underneath your spell.

Most artists find it hard to move away from the sound they're most identified with. Ella and Jesse Hooper aren't most artists and seemed to have no problem transitioning from the alternative rocking Killing Heidi to their folk outfit, The Verses. When I first heard 'Want Everything' I couldn't help but compare the sound to Fleetwood Mac. So it was no surprise to see that The Verses had been chosen to tour with the music legends on their Australian tour back in 2009. From start to finish, 'Want Everything' is music perfection that shows off Hooper's strong talents as a storyteller. As much as I'm loving her solo adventures, I would be a huge fan of Ella teaming with her brother once again to see what else they can deliver. You know it would be awesome. And Fleetwood Mac's coming back this year... (Matt Bond)  

#72. ST. CLARITY

by The Paper Kites

You'll never be sincerely right

If I stand here with you.

Let me be totally honest with you. I hadn’t listened to this track in a long time. The last time I probably heard it was at the end of 2013, when we placed it in our top 113 songs countdown of that year. It only took a second though, when I hit play and that beautiful banjo started strumming, why oh why had this one slipped from my orbit over the past year and a bit? I don’t know, but now that it’s back I’m not letting it get away again, those layered sounds and the build of emotion is enchanting and so truly delightful. I’m sorry Paper Kites, I let you get away for a little while there, but you’re not going anywhere now, I’ll let your sounds float above my head like that gorgeous bubble in your sweet little clip.  (Jo Michelmore)

#71. EPIC DELAY

by Dear Plastic

Today might be the day

That you might slip away

And I'll be alone

And I'll be alone.

When trying to decide what my favourite lyrics of all time are, I always come back to a song by The Dresden Dolls called 'Boston'. "There is nothing in the world that we can count on, even that we will wake up is an assumption." Jo being the best present giver ever gave me a necklace with them on it, she's awesome like that. Why am I talking about Dresden Dolls/favourite lyrics/great presents when I'm supposed to be talking about Dear Plastic and 'Epic Delay'? Because I think there's something really fascinating about music that talks/asks questions about things that make us uncomfortable. And what makes people more uncomfortable than the fact we're all going to die? That's why I love those Dresden Dolls lyrics. And it's why I love everything about 'Epic Delay'. It's talking about what keeps so many people up at night. What happens when it's all over? What happens to the people that leave us behind? What happens to the people we leave behind? Take that aspect of it away and we're left with the engrossing voice of Scarlette Baccini and mighty fine alternative music. This is a track I've only grown to love more with every listen and it's from an outfit I only want to hear more of, as soon as possible. (Matt Bond)

 

It's My Kind of Interview - Ella Hooper

She's fronted Killing Heidi as one of Australia's most exciting rock stars, embraced her folky roots with The Verses, hosted national radio shows and now she's embarking on a solo career, reborn an indie-pop chanteuse. No matter where her artistry lies, Ella Hooper stands as one of the most fascinating figures in music. To say I was excited to have a chat with her is an understatement. For this blogger, it was a dream come true. Read on to find out about Ella's upcoming album, In Tongues, the future for Killing Heidi and The Verses (if there should be one), albums that have shaped her life and more. 
 

ELLA HOOPER

Interview by Matt Bond

 

 

First up, welcome! How are you? What's been happening this week?


Ella: Well Hi! I'm great, thanks for asking. Busy but great. This week just passed I had a launch for Haxan my new single, which was a raging success if I do say so myself, a dear friend's wedding, a friend staying from out of town, and many, many other varied but fun commitments, hence the 'busy'..


You've (finally - woo!) headed down the solo road. After your time in Killing Heidi and The Verses, how has it been adjusting from the band environment to 'solo artist' Ella Hooper?


Ella: It's been really educational and rewarding so far. I suspect part of the reason why I wanted to do this was to challenge myself and see if I could actually survive and thrive without a band, or co-band leader, and so far I'm doing okay. I'm growing new skills every day, like being a heck of a lot more organised and assertive, which is pretty cool. (they said it couldn't be done…) Sometimes I do long for someone to tell me what to do, or what the better choice to make is, but then I snap out of it.


The tastes of In Tongues we've received so far, 'Low High' and 'Haxan,' have blown me away. Talk us through these two tracks and why did you think they were the best to introduce this new chapter of your career?


Ella: They both had the slightly darker, noir-ish feel I wanted to lead with. Though the album has more shades to it than that, i wanted to begin quite starkly, I guess to highlight the contrast between this project and what I've done before, which has often been quite lush and/or busy. This bunch of songs are a lot more streamlined. Plus, I think Low High is pretty catchy and I do love a good pop hook after all.

 

In Tongues is due out in 2013. What other details are you willing to share? Would you say there's a consistent theme to the album? Any collaborations other than the fantastic Graveyard Train appearing in 'Low High'? 


Ella: It's themed around control, giving in and being taken over. Struggling with finding your path in life and love, it's my ode to Saturn Returning, where everything becomes topsy turvy, a second adolescence of sorts, one which I've found and am finding very inspiring and yet challenging. It's about what's revealed when things are a bit shaken up and stripped back..


Collaboration wise, I had many incredible muso's help me out. Ryan Caesar from Pearls and ex-Children Collide plays drums on half the tracks. Em from Tin Pan Orange sings backing vocals on one track. Mark from Jet also plays bass on a track. One of my best friends and the keys player in the Verses, Mads Davey, wrote and arranged the strings and also played the keys. Working with people you know well is so much fun!

  

Reflector was met with overwhelming success, winning four ARIA awards for you and Killing Heidi. Looking back at that early time in your career now, how do you feel? 


Ella: I feel like it was an amazing and unique way to spend my youth. I'm proud of the hard work I put in and the way I handled the lows and highs (haha) of which there were many. Some extreme. Though, I think because of the nature of our success then (so quick, so high, so much) people became quite over it and immune to anything we did next, something that I'll still have to navigate and probably grapple with now as a solo artist, years later. The KH experience is definitely a double edged sword. But, it's my lot and I'm happy to work around and through it.


What led to Killing Heidi's indefinite hiatus? Do you still think of it as a hiatus, or something more permanent?


Ella: Permanent. I don't think I could sing such youthful, and youth based songs convincingly any more. It really did just run its natural course and I think it would be very unnatural to start it up again now. I'm very surprised by all these 90's / 00's reunions and reformations going on in the industry at the moment. I couldn't do it. But each to their own!

You teamed up with your brother Jesse to form The Verses. Seasons, your debut album was a gripping piece of Australian folk-rock and 'Want Everything' in particular was a beautiful piece of songwriting. Do you think there's more territory to explore with The Verses?


Ella: Thank you! I'm so glad you dig that song, it's one of my favourites too. I always love playing it. And yes I'd like to think so.. we had a great time in the Verses, exploring a different side of our songwriting and musicality. I'd love to add another chapter to that book one day. That style is always on my mind, song-stories, classic production, great playing, an earthy Americana - Australiana vibe... I just love it!


I'll keep you posted!


What are your thoughts on Triple J these days?


Ella: It's a hard nut to crack. I sometimes get upset by how even though I come from a Triple J background - being Unearthed, topping hottest 100's, Live at the Wireless's etc. there seems to be little acknowledgement of that time and relationship now. We never pop up in their Hottest 100's of all times or whatever, it feels a little like we (or KH) has been white washed, while other bands from the same time have been kept in the fold. Whether that's to do with 'crossing over' to mainstream radio etc I don't know, as Missy (Higgins) and many others have done the same and managed to keep JJJ onside. I'll definitely be trying to get my solo material on there, as it's still the gatekeeper to finding a larger, and especially regional audience, who I think would be interested in my music, but it's really quite tough as there's many artists trying and only so many songs they can play in the day.

What do you think is the best song you've ever written and which of your songs is the most fun to perform live (and why)?  


Ella: Oooh that's so hard, like trying to pick a very best friend (I have three!). They're all good in different ways for different reasons, one to suit each mood, be it misery or jubilation! Winter by The Verses is very close to my heart, but there's a song called Everything Was A Sign on the new solo record that just might top it. It came out in a single flow 'stream of consciousness', and is incredibly intimate and true, and right now it is ridiculously poignant in my life. More so than when I wrote it. (that always happens… Maybe I should be more careful with what I write!)


If you had to pick five albums that have shaped who you are as a person, what would they be and why?


Ella: American Thighs - Veruca Salt


It was the first album I bought and it inspired me to rock. I was (and still am) smitten by the strong, sad, sexy, vulnerable and cheeky sides Louise and Nina showed us in this band and album. All adjectives I would hope someone could use on my new album too.


Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins


I was a teenage Pumpkin's tragic. Just could not get enough of this band. Listened to them daily. Nightly. Hugely inspirational. The songwriting chops. The guitar chops. Not so much the singing chops, but hey, most of my favourite artists don't have 'perfect' voices.. The Pumpkins of my youth couldn't be outdone for both attitude and emotion, which are FAR more important than perfection anyway.


Astral Weeks - Van Morrison


I was obsessed from a young age by this album. I still love Van the Man. This collection showed me that song structure ain't everything, in fact it ain't anything if you don't got soul.. and Van has that in spades.


Rid Of Me - PJ Harvey


I think this was the 2nd album I ever got. She winded me. I was SO inspired by her howling, grunting, unapologetic blues.. Just crazy good. And the frighteningly raw production, I've always loved low fi, bare bones records, where you can 'hear the room' etc as well as lush ones.. and this is the most perfect example of the former.


Another Side Of - Bob Dylan


Personal and effortless songwriting, 101.


This is how it's done. He is my main man.


(said me and every other muso ever…)


Look, 11-year-old me would slap current-me if I didn't take this opportunity, so here goes... will you marry me? Regardless of how you answer, I'll still be excited about the release of In Tongues and wish you all the best in 2013 and beyond.


Ella: Well, I am recently single!! (haha)


Though, 11 might be a little young for me.. just a little.


;P


I'll take that as a maybe? Woo hoo! A massive, massive thanks to Ella Hooper for answering our questions. We can't wait to hear In Tongues! Her single Haxan is out now kids, so you can go get it on the iTunes and you can also keep an eye on the official Facebook page for updates on In Tongues, live shows and more.

10 and 1 - Australian Albums You Should Hear Before You Die

Murder Ballads. Odyssey Number Five. Frogstomp. Kick. Back In Black. Whispering Jack. Fever. Apocalypso. Eternal Nightcap. Hourly, Daily. The Sound of White. Unit. Walking On A Dream. East. Down The Way. Savage Garden. Barricades and Brickwalls. Gossip. Since I Left You. Innerspeaker.


When you're talking about the greatest Australian albums of all time, you're guaranteed to bring up some of the celebrated titles above. INXS and Kylie's true US breakthroughs, Silverchair's riotous debut, Nick Cave's tales of love and death. They are truly defining works in Australia's music history and albums that you really should make an effort to hear, as the book I've started re-reading suggests, before you die. Don't stress out too much if you miss out on Hourly, Daily. You'll find a way to get over it in heaven. Or... you'll go to hell and they'll be playing it over and over and over and over again. And again and again and again. Yikes.


Like most 'greatest of all time' lists, you're always going to find a lot of the same albums discussed. With good reason too, they're generally amazing. What this means is that some other incredible pieces of work find themselves without the recognition they deserve, so today, I'll be presenting to you ten album I recommend you give a try before you cark it that only occasionally pop up nowadays (even though the majority are quite new). In 'Straya, cark it mean you dead. There were no typos in that last sentence. Read it as written please and thank you. As is the 10 and 1 rule, I'll leave you with one Aussie album you don't need to listen to in this life or the next or eternal whatever fairytale you believe. Here's some great Aussie music. Enjoy!

THE 10:

From Here To Anywhere

by Sneaky Sound System (2011)

 

"I won't forget the time, when you told me, we could be something, the memory is mine." From the anthemic 'Big' to the hopelessness of 'I Need You So,' the playful 'We Love' and desperate 'Really Want To See You Again;' Sneaky Sound System's latest album, From Here To Anywhere, goes a long way in supporting the theory that Australia is home to the greatest electronic-pop in the world. 

Howling Bells

by Howling Bells (2006)

It's easy to feel that the Howling Bells are underappreciated when you see an act of their caliber performing in Brisbane's Alhambra Lounge. No disrespect to Alhambra, it's a good venue for emerging acts. It teaches them to deal with an unpredictable crowd; half are music fans that came to see the show, half are drunk wankers that have stumbled in off the street thinking it's The Family. For an established act like the Howling Bells that have three critically acclaimed albums to their name? They should at least be at The Zoo, competing with that jerk of a drummer that's busking on the other side of the street. I love you Brisbane and I love the Howling Bells. Let 'Low Happening' take you over before 'A Ballad For The Bleeding Hearts' sends shivers right through your body. 

Farewell Youth

by Matt Walters (2011)

The one-two punch of 'St. Peter's Gate' and 'I Would Die For You' alone makes Farewell Youth an unforgettable listening experience, but there's a lot more to love. Walters has a wonderful way with words that you'll find yourself falling for. The album may close with the cute (and probably pretty gross if you think about it too much) track 'The First Time,' but it'll stay with you for a long time after.

Song of the Day - Teeth

The Verses - Teeth

Album: Seasons (2010)

If you're a regular reader, you'll be well aware of my not-so-secret love for Ella and Jesse Hooper's post-Killing Heidi project, The Verses. Their official debut single, 'Want Everything,' placed at #19 on It's My Kind of Scene's Top 100 Songs of 2010 countdown and their excellent first LP, Seasons, was one of the best (and most criminally underappreciated) Australian releases of the year. If they get the chance to release a third single, here's hoping it's 'Teeth.' It's got that indie touch that JJJ would likely embrace, but it's also packing a ton of crossover potential too. Anyway, sorry about the True Blood video... it was the only video with a studio version of the song I could find. It's not like it doesn't work though, right? Whatever... just enjoy the song!

2010 Scene Awards - Australian Artist of the Year

Another day, another Scene Award to hand out. This time we're taking a look at the best music that Australian acts have given us over the past 12 months. Two brother/sister duos, the most interesting new artist to come out of the country in 2010, arguably Australia's most loved band of the past twenty years and a universal critically acclaimed star are all in the running. Let's meet the nominees!

Angus and Julia Stone

It was the breakthrough year that most groups can only dream of. Their second studio release, Down the Way, topped the Australian album charts and quickly became the highest selling album of the year by an Australian act. Throughout the year they've gained a ton of international recognition, been featured on shows like Grey's Anatomy, won three ARIA Awards (including Album of the Year) and are strongly favoured to take out this year's JJJ Hottest 100 with the ARIA Award winning single, 'Big Jet Plane.'

Powderfinger

They may be gone, but their 2010 'Sunsets Farewell Tour' ensured they wouldn't be forgotten.



Sia

Sia is another Australian artist that enjoyed a massive breakthrough year in 2010. Her most recent release, the incredible We Are Born, debuted at #2 on the ARIA charts to critical acclaim. It has since found a place on many 'best of' lists for the year, as has the single 'Clap Your Hands.'

The Verses

How they are not one of the biggest groups in the country is beyond me. Former Killing Heidi rockers Ella and Jesse Hooper's new venture, The Verses, is simply one of the finest acts to come out of the country in a long time. Their debut album, Seasons, is flawless and showcases just how far Ella's songwriting has come since the old Heidi days.

Washington

Best new artist of 2010? Maybe. But is that enough for the intriguing Megan Washington to be named the Australian Artist of the Year? Let's find out... drumroll please!
