When sounds gets sciencey, don't think Bunsen burners and bubbling liquids; think Secret Birds. The band itself is an evolution of the facets of the Brisbane music scene (in layman's terms - lots of dudes from lots of other bands) - they have 4, sometimes 5, sometimes 6 members - and they don't say so much as boo. All guitars, all drums and some keys, there surely must be a science to sounding so very hypnotic, so very down-tempo and so very intoxicating.
Double Snake Hollow is the bands debut cassette! With just three impressive tracks winding up both the A and B sides, title track Double Snake Hollow is thick and heady with vibrating reverb. The minimal, nihilistic sound of The Wizards Cloak beats down on your eardrums in a similar rhythm to rain trickling down a lonely sewer, and then, right about the time the folk-like guitar solo chimes in - the water reaches the depths of release (!) bursting into a river, and you, just like the rain, float away down a winding stream.
Look, it's all very mysterious and you really need to see-it, hear-it and feel-it live for yourself. BYO umbrellas, life jackets, hallucinogens.

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
