The starting 3 seconds of Sydney's 'The Faults' first single 'Lucy' are scary, please God no more fuzzy lo-fi, there is so much we can take. Yeah, then the rest 2:10 absolutely kills when the leads voice smacks in, its short and sweet and it sounds drunk, and fills your brain with lush garage-rock. These guys have this pissed-up swagger, the guitars stopping and starting, the music spinning around like the stars when too much vodka has been consumed, but it all seems to fit together in an intensely enjoyable short moment in time. The other half of the single, 'Quarter', sounds like the 'Artic Monkeys', getting into a pub brawl, taking a pounding, and then picking up their instruments and absolutely crushing it. Bloody impressive for two guys. Again we feel as if the listening experience is taking place on a boat, the rhythm stopping and picking up were it left off with the leads vocals crooning madly. 'The Faults' manage to involve you fully in the music they make, they plug up all the holes, invade your brain and kick it for a short time then walk off into the sunset really coolly and pissed (I imagine).
Can download both songs quite easily below.
