Season 2
Power Of Now

2024年末にメルボルンで結成
With members from various groups in the Melbourne indie rock underground on board, it's almost a foregone conclusion that Season 2's first album, Power of Now, would be a low-key, off-kilter delight. The band -- which features drummer Carolyn Hawkins (Parsnip, School Damage, and Chook Race), bassist Charlotte Zarb (the Snakes, Phil & the Tiles), guitarist Matt Powell (also Phil & the Tiles), keyboardist Claudia Serfaty (Stroppies), and guitarist Freya McLeod (herself) -- whip through a half-hour of jangling indie pop gems, angular post-punk mood pieces, and jittery bedroom punk rockers along the way to making a record that stands with the best work of the groups they are associated with. The songs are all quite catchy, sometimes in a sideways, fleeting glance kind of way, but usually leaving the listener humming along halfway through. Uptempo, guitar-forward tracks like "What For," "Looks the Same," and "Holiday" are the most immediate, conjuring up visions of the Clean and Look Blue Go Purple in a dream collaboration.
