Blank Realm

shaun  said about 3 years ago  or at  12:33PM on Tuesday, October 14 2008 in music

Great band from Brisbane. They're released stuff on MYMWLY, Not Not Fun and a few others. If you're a fan of Sunburned Hand of the Man, Castings, NNCK, Brothers of the Occult Sisterhood, obscure 1960s-70s prog, and all things psychedelic you'll love this.

This is their tape 'The Returner'

They've got other stuff as well. I've only heard the top two releases (very recently) and they're both astonishingly good. So stupid for sleeping on this stuff for so long.

Myspace

This is their first MYMWLY release from last year:

This is the newie 'Mind Peril', packaged like a 7'' but it's actually a tape:

that post got all mixed up for some reason. oh well, still kinda makes sense


Pelt and/or Holler  said about 3 years ago:

I've been really slack and haven't picked up any of their releases, but they're fantastic live.


shaun  said about 3 years ago:

I missed them when they played in Sydney a year or so ago. Hopefully they'll be back next year.


black wasp!  said about 3 years ago:

Saw them live and loved it.


shaun  said about 3 years ago:

Their artwork is always amazing too.


raven  said about 3 years ago:

I hate tapes.
But I'd like to hear these guys.


shaun  said about 3 years ago:

I like tapes.


nic.rulz  said about 3 years ago:

I looooovvvvveee the Not Not Fun tape. I saw these guys play this double drummer full on heavy free psych set in Brisbane last year. Was one of my live highlights. Really, really nice people too.


shaun  said about 3 years ago:

I think they may tour next year. But yeah, both NNF tapes are awesome, Mind Peril seems to be a bit of an evolution for them.


greenriver  said about 3 years ago:

been enjoying this band recently, would be sick to see them play.


astralwerkor  said about 3 years ago:

The Returner is ace! ACE!


shaun  said about 3 years ago:

Yeah it is good hey? The last track is epic.


Pelt and/or Holler  said about 3 years ago:

saw them play a really rock-y show last night, was great!


astralwerkor  said about 3 years ago:

Getting one of their CDrs in my batch from mymwly.



astralwerkor  said about 3 years ago:

The Blank Realm song here: http://soundcloud.com/sound-summit is a total ear worm. Same sort of out of focus pop hit-ness as NOTV's Making Enemies.

shaun  said about 1 year ago:

Yeah, 'Full Moon Door' is a hit. One of my favourite songs for a long time. It's on Deja What?


Pelt and/or Holler  said about 1 year ago:

Tickets for Blank Realm's show in Newcastle as part of Sound Summit/This Is Not Art are on sale via moshtix (discounted two night entry for pre-sales) as well as on the door. Good times.

Pretty addicted to this album. After gorging on 'Full Moon Door' for ages I've finally gotten around to properly absorbing the other songs.
