We've just received some reviews for our newest EP 'The Ocean Floor'. Here they are below:

............ASTREETLIGHTSONG

The Ocean Floor

Spacejunk/ MGMReviewed by BILL
HOLDSWORTH  for
RAVE
Magazine in Queensland....

A trio on the
rise, with a good grasp of light and shade....

Not to be confused
with Perth outfit Streetlight (or, for that matter, New Jersey’s Streetlight
Manifesto), Astreetlightsong are a three-piece from Sydney who have been plying
their trade since 2004. This is their third EP, its seven tracks in 24 minutes
produced once again by Spacejunk’s TimEbandit – actually Tim Powles of The
Church. With their combination of layered guitars with plenty of keyboard and
synth effects over precise percussion, they’ve come up with a strong blend of
pop melody and ambition. Depending on the angle you come from, different
reference points emerge. At times, I see links going from ‘80s Kiwi notables
such as The Chills and The Clean – especially the echoey guitar ping of Little
Mirrors – through to Interpol. At other times, there’s a touch of The Church’s
psychedelic aloofness sprinkled through the material. Meanwhile, vocalist Craig
Wilson’s slightly distant emotiveness draws a line from those Kiwi bands again
through to Luke Steele. He’s pivotal to the point where instrumentals like
Atlantis, though neatly contrived, meander a little. The standout song for me
is The Lighthouse, which brings all these elements together in one tight
package – dynamics, drama and even a little mystery in four minutes.....

ASTREETLIGHTSONG

The Ocean Floor

Spacejunk/ MGM

Reviewed by Patrick Lang  for DB 
Magazine in Adelaide



Prog rock and post-punk are reasonably disparate genres, yet Sydney trio
ASTREETLIGHTSONG manage to combine the textural considerations of both without
faling into the traps and excesses of either. Their new EP, 'The Ocean Floor'
is a selection of tight, well-handled and evocative songs from a unique band.



Kicking off with a swathe of 'seventies synthesiser tones which wouldn't sound
out of place in a sci-fi film with Depth Charge, the EP starts proper with The
Lighthouse. Combining tightly controlled drums rhythms, rumbling bass and
squealing synths with one hell of a cool chorus, it's immediate and effective,
yet shows layers of depth just beneath the surface.



Unfortunately, nothing else on display quite manages to match up to the majesty
of The Lighthouse, but there's plenty else on offer here worthwhile of your
attention. Little Mirrors, in particular, has a thumping drum sound and a
simple but effective interweaving guitar line, somewhat reminiscent of
Interpol's (and, by proxy, Joy Division's) swirly gloom pop. Meanwhile,
Crosstalk offers a quieter, more introspective moment, with its slower tempo
and more organic instrumentation.



The band also show another side altogether on the acoustic Atlantis - one
which, with careful time and nurturing, could turn out to be a new and
interesting avenue for them. However, by the time the closing I Never Knew
(Closer Mix) rolls around, the band have returned to doing what they do best -
combining organic thump with a cautious, clever use of electronic and
manipulated sounds, all rolled around quality songwriting and intricate
production. If that sounds like your bag, then 'The Ocean Floor' is definitely
a record you should check out, and ASTREETLIGHTSONG are a band to watch.
Closely.

After exploring the careers of The Band in THE LAST WALTZ and Bob Dylan in NO DIRECTION HOME, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese turns his lens on rock & roll legends The Rolling Stones for this documentary focusing on two concerts from the band's Autumn 2006 "A Bigger Bang" tour. Cinemagoers will have the chance to experience a Stones concert as never before - as the fifth member of the band, from the front row and from behind the scenes.

In addition to extensive coverage of the band's two-night stand at New York's Beacon Theater (an engagement that was staged as part of President Bill Clinton's lavish birthday bash), the documentary also features historical footage, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage from decades past. Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Richardson (JFK and THE AVIATOR) supervised photography for the film, with an impressive array of A-list talents, including Andrew Lesnie, John Toll, Ellen Kuras, Anastas Michos, Stuart Dryburgh, Declan Quinn, Emmanuel Lubezki, Robert Elswit, and Albert Maysles, stepping in to ensure that the Beacon performances were covered from every angle possible...

With performances also from Jack White of the White Stripes, Christina Aguilera and Buddy Guy, SHINE A LIGHT is a unique cinema experience.
