Waterfalls
One in eight people are over 65 years old in Sydney.You might be asking yourself, “Why the hell is The Music Ninja googling random facts about Sydney?”
With good reason, ninjas. While trying to make some sense out of the plethora of great music that comes out of Australia day by day, it only made sense to take a deeper look into what was going on over there. We stumbled across this factoid in our research, and it all clicked. Young people = good music.
Sydney-born synth-pop five piece East of Ely is the most current of our musical discoveries. Hailing from the land down Under, Moeaki, Nic, Daniel, Chris, Michael have us ready to shout out “Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi,” with this first listen to “Waterfalls,” which is the first single off of their upcoming EP.
Stabbing attempts at cultural references aside, these guys have an infectious sound that calls on association of some of our favorite synth-popsters like Pet Shop Boys, CHVRCHES, and Carousel. This tune in particular boasts a lovelorne tune message carried through by glorious falsetto work, classic 80’s guitar riffs and an upbeat tempo worthy of some foot-tappin and head noddin’.
Put these guys on your radar by following them on facebook. It won’t be long before this EP is out, and it’s one you won’t want to miss.
