Album of the Week - DOJA CAT {Planet Her}

Monday Spotlight: Pendulum

** Sorry for the delay, lockdown Sydney delays this week. Tomorrow Doja Cat's new album will officially be posted as this weeks delightful feature album **

Pendulum formed back in 2002, originally formed in the city of Perth, WA, by Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen and Paul "El Hornet" Harding. 

Immersion was released mid 2010, since it's been a while since a full album from the crew. However recently we got the tasty EP Elemental from the drum and bass crew.

Following the crew forming, Pendulum expanded to include members Ben Mount, Peredur ap Gwynedd and KJ Sawka. Members Swire and McGrillen also formed the electro house duo Knife Party. 

In 2003, Swire, McGrillen and Harding relocated to the United Kingdom. 

The debut studio album, Hold Your Colour, was released in 2005 to positive critical reception. While Hold Your Colour was mostly of the drum and bass genre, the groups later two albums In Silico and Immersion saw the groups genres experiment with industrial rock and electronic rock.

Pendulum are the ultimate party starting crew. They have even remixed the iconic ABC news theme and the Prodigy. So with two weeks of lockdown/Stay at Home orders Sydney, crank up some Pendulum to make these winter weeks fly by.

EP FEATURE WEEK 2021 - JUNO MAMBA – Freedom

In a time where we are all in need of some good news, Soothsayer are thrilled to yesterday release Juno Mamba’s exceptional sophomore EP Freedom, with a spotlight on his explosive new track ‘Frequency’. 

Musically, the four songs on Freedom demonstrate Juno Mamba's advancing capabilities as a producer and musician, crafting textured electronic sounds for the head and heart, as much as the feet. Mixing two of its four songs himself, he revels equally in slow-build moments as he does headrush highs, and in the freedom the EP title implies. Juno Mamba surmises, "The journey has been far from perfect, but I’m in a place of peace."

Monday Spotlight: Allday x The Veronicas

Oe day late but double the spotlight fun this week. Both acts are also about to play live in Sydney! Allday tickets are HERE at the Enmore whilst The Veronicas can be found HERE @ the Hordern.

Tomas Henry Gaynor AKA Allday has been in the game for a while now, with his debut album, Startup Cult, being released in July 2014.

Allday hails from Adelaide, South Australia, Australia's very own city of churches. He then however moved to Melbourne, to pursue a serious career before later relocating to Los Angeles, California.

Thomas states his influences include Silverchair, Frank Ocean, and TLC. His latest album (the feature last week) is a real change in direction. With help from Japanese Wallpaper and the DMA's it's a big shift in gears. It would be a real treat to see these tracks live next month.

The Veronicas are Lisa and Jessica Origliasso, who formed in 2004. The two are identical twin sisters from Brisbane.

Their debut studio album, titled The Secret Life of...,  dropped in 2005, it peaked at number two on the Australian Album Chart, selling 4× platinum copies. Thats over 280,000 copies!

In 2007, Lisa and Jessica released their second studio album, Hook Me Up. It peaked at number two in Australia while being certified 2× platinum. Thats another 140,000 copies out the door.

The album's title track, Hook Me Up, was the Veronicas' first number one single in Australia, whilst Untouched was an international top ten hit. While lately becoming a cult hit single. A must have on party playlists.

The sisters had a slightly lengthy hiatus, broken in September 2014, by releasing You Ruin Me, the first single from their self-titled third studio album. Now the duo are giving us two records this year. Godzilla and Human. Also the tour happening on a stage near you.

The sisters have branched out to reality TV in 2021 too. The duo were celebrity contestants on the fifth season of The Celebrity Apprentice Australia in 2021.

So let's celebrate two diverse Australian music icons. No Sunday Spotlight this week too due to the Queen's Birthday weekend. For now tomorrow I kick off the second EP feature week of 2021 with Jorja Smith. Until then, I feel so untouched!
