Rolling Blackouts C. F. - Endless Rooms - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It's rare that a band's debut album sounds as confident and self-assured as Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever's Hope Downs. To say that the first full-length from the Melbourne quintet improves on their buzz-building EPs from the last few years would be an understatement the promise those early releases hinted at is fully realized here, with ten songs of urgent, passionate guitar pop that elicit warm memories of bands past, from the Go-Betweens' jangle to the charmingly lo-fi trappings of New Zealand's Flying Nun tag. But don't mistake Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever for nostalgists Hope Downs is the sound of a band finding it's own collective voice. Album Tracks 1. An Air Conditioned Man 2. Talking Straight 3. Mainland 4. Time in Common 5. Sister's Jeans 6. Bellarine 7. Cappuccino City 8. Exclusive Grave 9. How Long? 10. The Hammer

2020 . After years spent looking out at landscapes and loved ones and an increasingly unstable world, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have turned their gaze inward, to their individual pasts and the places that inform them, on their second full-length, Sideways to New Italy. Led by singer-songwriter-guitarists Tom Russo, Joe White and Fran Keaney, the guitar-pop five-piece returned home to Australia after the relentless touring schedule that came following their critically regarded 2018 debut Hope Downs. Feeling the literal and metaphorical ground under their feet had shifted, the band began grasping for something reliable. The notion of crafting, in Russo's words, Incha utopia of where your heart's from,Inch permeates Sideways to New Italy, in which early attempts at writing big, high-concept songs about The State of the World were abandoned in favor of love songs, and familiar voices and characters filter in and out, grounding the band's stories in their personal histories. There's something comforting, too, in knowing the next time they're buffeted from stage to stage around the world, they'll be taking the voices of their loved ones with them, building a new totem of home no matter where they end up. Album Tracks 1. The Second of the First 2. Falling Thunder 3. She's There 4. Beautiful Steven 5. The Only One 6. Cars in Space 7. Cameo 8. Not Tonight 9. Sunglasses at the Wedding 10. The Cool Change

Talk Tight is Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever's first , and it was originally released on CD in March of 2016 on Ivy League Records in the band's home country of Australia. Talk Tight - a mini-album, or extended EP, if you will - garnered the band critical acclaim in their home country and in the US, where Pitchfork gave the record an 8.0 and described it like so Seven rip-roaring tracks that move by their own logic, any one of which could be a single and all of which leave you wanting more in the best way possible... Listening to these seven tunes, you can easily trace a national lineage the relentlessness of Radio Birdman, the pop literacy of the Go-Betweens, the rambunctious energy of the Easybeats, and the belief-shared with Courtney Barnett-that guitars are not just crucial to the message but might very well be the message themselves. This is the first time Talk Tight has been available in the US, and the first time it is available on vinyl anywhere. The band released their Sub Pop debut, The French Press EP, in March of 2017, and they are currently working on their first full-length album. Album Tracks 1. Wither with You 2. Wide Eyes 3. Heard You're Moving 4. Clean Slate 5. Tender Is the Neck 6. Write Back 7. Career
