Apologies for the fucked formatting. A Secret Birds review from FourThousand.
When sounds gets sciencey, don't think Bunsen burners and bubbling liquids; think Secret Birds. The band itself is an evolution of the facets of the Brisbane music scene (in layman's terms - lots of dudes from lots of other bands) - they have 4, sometimes 5, sometimes 6 members - and they don't say so much as boo. All guitars, all drums and some keys, there surely must be a science to sounding so very hypnotic, so very down-tempo and so very intoxicating.
Double Snake Hollow is the bands debut cassette! With just three impressive tracks winding up both the A and B sides, title track Double Snake Hollow is thick and heady with vibrating reverb. The minimal, nihilistic sound of The Wizards Cloak beats down on your eardrums in a similar rhythm to rain trickling down a lonely sewer, and then, right about the time the folk-like guitar solo chimes in - the water reaches the depths of release (!) bursting into a river, and you, just like the rain, float away down a winding stream.
Look, it's all very mysterious and you really need to see-it, hear-it and feel-it live for yourself. BYO umbrellas, life jackets, hallucinogens.

[BOOTEL RECORDING: Aktion Unit w/ Daisy Buchanan + Ben Wrecker - Live @ The Old Bar 11/7/09](http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=92a12d1fd5c64694931c7453395df02591127fba593ac39b5be6ba49b5870170
BOOTLEG RECORDING:
Aktion Unit w/ Daisy Buchanan + Ben Wrecker - Live @ The Old Bar 11/7/09
Well, it's not really a bootleg recording. I recorded it on my ZOOM H2. Then the recorder promptly got left behind on stage when I packed up... luckily Singa found it the next day. Thanks, Singa!
he did tell me he had plans of seeling it but i said that was a bad idea.
selling even.
Anyway, it was a great show and I love when the drums and vocals kick in about 8 minutes into the set. The Old Bar is awesome for letting us do this kind of shit!
I had a friggin' blast!
Everything louder than everything else! The magic of the Nao mix!
