"On the Beach" from Lower Plenty

Hard Rubbish, the second LP from Melbourne's Lower Plenty was critically acclaimed in Australia upon its release by Bedroom Suck in 2012, and I ranked it in my top albums of 2013 (#23) when it received its deserved world-wide release from Fire Records.  Their follow-up album is Life/Thrills, and it will be released on June 20 by Bedroom Suck.  The first available track is "On the Beach".

Lower Plenty is Al Monfort (guitar/vocals), Daniel Twomey (percussion), Sarah Heyward (percussion/vocals), and Jensen Tjhung (guitar/vocals), all of whom play for other bands, including Deaf Wish, UV Race, Dick Diver, Total Control and The Focus.  This project takes a different tack than those other bands, using space and a languid pace to reveal their melancholy, and sometimes bitter, charms.
