Flesh Vs. Venom – Tales Of The Parrot House (EXO Records)

The cover art came in at number 18 on the Mess and Noise cover art
awards. The album was recorded and mixed by Neil Thomason at Head Gap
Studios and the band are signed to hot newish label EXO Records. With
credentials like that, I am impressed without even listening to this
release.

Taking all of that into consideration, it's with a sigh of relief and an
insane grin on my face that I discover that the music is outstanding.
/Tales of the Parrot House /takes me straight back to the 1980s. The
good part of the 1980s, you understand, the part that produced amazing
bands like Joy Division and The Birthday Party. This is modern post-punk
at it's finest. Right from the get go this album/ /moves along at a good
pace, the vocals are assertive without being aggressive, the music
haunting without being moody. It's chaotic without being confusing.

Opener /This is Evacuated /sets the mood for the rest of the album. I
envision many a whiskey soaked late night listening to this record in
the future. /Empire City /is splendid in it's minimalism. /We Are
Elizabeth /is eight minutes and twelve seconds of pure joy - a beautiful
sound scape that slowly builds until you realise the sound has enveloped
you and you are stuck there like a deer in headlights until it grinds to
a halt. But it's okay, because you don't really want to be anywhere else
in that moment. The far shorter /Four Families /is dissonant, almost
(but not quite) to the point where it's difficult to listen to, and I am
thrilled that this band are challenging me like this.

This is one of those debut albums that makes you wonder how they are
possibly going to be able to top it. But we'll let them worry about that
when the time comes. For now we can all enjoy the ridiculously
impressive chaotic, noisy, beautiful, almost avant garde album that is
/Tales of the Parrot House.

BOA @ The Evelyn, Feb 8th
By Lauren Arnold

Firstly, when a venue tells me that a band is due to go on at 10pm, and said
band doesn't get on stage until much closer to 11pm, I get cranky.

Secondly, when I'm there with my 9-5er friend who gets grumpier and grumpier
because we should have been leaving for home by 11pm, I get cranky.

Thirdly, When the band we are subjected to prior to the band we came to see
are fairly average in all respects, yep you guessed it – I get cranky.

So keep those three points in mind when I say that Bachelor of Arts were
good. Damn good, in fact. I didn't know the names of the songs or the band
from a bar of soap when they began, but dammit if it didn't get me tapping
my feet and make me forget about all the crankiness. I reluctantly left
about half way through their set (it was bloody late for a school night at
this point) but that half-set left such an impression on me that I already
have all their upcoming dates penciled into my diary and their three-track
single on it's way in the mail.

This is a young band who show a heck of a lot of promise. I guarantee you'll
be hearing a lot more from these guys.
