Adam George delivers a spectacular EP

Brand spankin' new Aussie artist, Adam George is already a master of indie folk jams, recently releasing an EP full of soothing tracks, featuring absolutely stunning vocals. I can definitely hear the Angus & Julia Stone influences in his songs, that's not to say his music is unoriginal, he's just got a similar sound.

The first track I listened to, Lost In You is a very slow, mellow song centering around his beautiful melodious vocals. This is the trend in all of his songs, with simple chord progressions and minimal instruments really highlighting his great voice. Towards the end of Lost In You, the song takes off, a wonderful finishing touch.

If you prefer your songs a little more upbeat, then you should take a listen to Smoke & Mirrors, which is probably the standout of the EP for me. I love the careful combination of guitar and drums on this track, with Adam's voice making the song one you will have on repeat for days. Feel free to stream this song below and tell me what you think.

You can listen to every one of the songs off this EP at Adam's myspace, which is quite a generous offer from such a showcase of talent. Adam George appears to be a new musician on the block, but he definitely has the goods to go a long way, I will definitely be keeping my ears out for more form this gifted lad.

Split Seconds amazing Debut EP

If you’re a fan of catchy indie pop music then I have the perfect recommendation for you! Split Seconds are a band from Perth, WA, that are probably one of my favourite bands at the moment. They have played alongside many great aussie acts, at festivals including Southbound, Big Day Out and Laneway and they are truly a treat live. Their self-titled EP was released earlier this year in March, featuring the awesome single Bed Down. Just recently, the mature sounding band have released another single All You Gotta Do, showing that they can create hit song after hit song. If these guys aren’t as big as they deserve to be within the next year, then I really don’t know what talent is, take a listen yourself, and make sure you check them out live!
