So after a pretty good start for this month’s SOTD posts I dropped the ball! I’m NOT very good at this daily posting, hey? Oh well, here’s one for your weekend or whenever you see it?
It’s the opening song from their debut album entitled Rules of 2011. I’ve embedded the whole album and not just the track yet again so I’ve kind-of lied in the blog post title again! Please why have a listen to the full album, if you really dig the first track? I’ve also embedded the second album called The Test of 2016 just below too, if you want even more? But that’s everything by them!
Civil Civic are yet another band from Melbourne, Australia who I love. They’re are just a duo who play instrumental music. The couple of members names are Aaron Cupples and Benjamin Green but the third member is called The Box. When I did get to see them live, was this huge big black square box made-up of drum machine, synth and keyboards which sat in the middle of the stage while both human members played it as well their bass and guitar. It was all very wicked cool live but you can’t see any of that while streaming online. Aaron Cupples is also a film composer and record producer, my fave albums he’s done is The Drones’ Gala Mill and Feelin Kinda Free. I hope you enjoy them, if you do press play?

Cheers! 🙂
I listened to several tracks on both albums, and I really like their music. They have an interesting sound that’s a nice melding of alternative, dream rock, new wave, progressive and grunge.

Oh I love this, for some reason it reminds me of The Horrors, but a bit more bouncy and one minute it’s really dark, the next it seems really optimistic, I love it!

Yeah really loved it. I’m thinking of doing a post on music I have liked this week, but it may actually just be recycling your music too hehe. I have a few additions though, some medieval type folk music from Latvia, a few ancient pieces too 😉
