The second one recently, after Hexa, girls-only quartet on the blog. This time it's the "sad girls" from Calmly, who show their debut album. Finally, but it was worth waiting those 5 years.
Calmly is a "collection of songs about the highs and lows of growing up, love, loss, sadness and celebration" played in the sad female indie rock with a great influence of dream pop atmosphere style. The album is opened by the swinging 30 that eventually turns into a very shoegaze composition, although it balances, as the whole album does, on the boarder of many genres. The main candidate for being the catchiest hit here is the calmer one, but not without cheek, Hallelujah Heartache - a bit of ballad, a bit shoegazingly loud, very catchy track.
The further you listen, the more slower ballads there are, but finally it gets to the very much traditionally rocking Used Up where some surprisingly raw guitars appear, once again stirring the genre blend served by the Australians.
Calmly costs 10 AUD.
