UNITY FLOORS - Exotic Goldfish Blues LP
$31.95
Debut LP is a collection of eleven timeless and acutely Australian rock'n'roll songs. Following on from a 2011 EP, Exotic Goldfish Blues is a continuation and a perfect staple of the archetypal, wholly unrestrained Unity Floors aesthetic.
Recorded sporadically over a few months in various locations including studios, their bedrooms and random hallways, EGB captures the carefree ethos of the band's musicianship; one that is fundamentally an extension of their own friendship and everyday lives.
A combination of introspective headier numbers and exuberant rollicking rock tracks, vocalist Gus Hunt delves into topics as disparate as forlorn romances and petty theft. Whilst the album still parades the enchanting blind optimism of earlier Unity Floors recordings, a sense of apprehension and maturity can be heard as Gus sings, "You better run for your life, you better settle down."
Although no ode to any particular band, genre or era Exotic Goldfish Blues is the product of two guys simply writing songs and playing scrappy rock music in their lounge room, having possibly just listened to Sebadoh or Dinosaur Jr.
