Australian bands! So many, and most of them are pretty great. Here’s another one, Stag, a quartet of women who play like they are just figuring all of this out – which is welcome, as the magic they have to offer is directly in that lesson. They’re not as focused as, say, Terrible Truths on one particular direction, working through a tangled pile of primitive post-punk, insect-brain dance instruction, and on one song, nothing but caterwauling against bass and drums. Yet none of the songs here sound flat or photocopied from another time; there’s always something in each that makes the song do what you wouldn’t expect. It’s an excellent snapshot of where they are now, showing all the facets of where they’ve come from thus far. We should all like to hear more from them. Cool collage cover of food items, too. Reminds me of theYoke & Yohs 7” for that reason. (http://disembraining.tumblr.com)
