MIDNIGHT ALIBI - Loveshine VINYL

Melbourne's underground doesn't forget its own. Midnight Alibi came out of the city's post-punk and dark rock circuit with a sound that owes as much to shadowy New Wave cool as it does to the raw nerve of the local alternative scene, and Loveshine is the kind of 7 inch that makes you wonder why more people aren't talking about them.

Two sides of moody, melodic dark rock pressed into vinyl, the format that suits them best. If you're the type who haunts the back of the record store, runs a turntable that hasn't stopped since 1997, and has a soft spot for anything that sounds like it was recorded with atmosphere as a deliberate ingredient, this one earns its place in the stack. Australian alternative on wax, exactly the kind of release ALT CVLT exists to put in front of you.

7 inch single vinyl. Handle with the reverence it deserves.

Fans of: The Birthday Party, Rowland S. Howard, The Drones, Australian post-punk and dark rock.
