Beensufferable Sydney Volume IV

COSMO'S MIDNIGHT have developed a sound and production style that has made them one of Australia's most celebrated duos. 

Since their inception, the brothers Cosmo and Patrick Liney have chased a shared hunger for experimentation and playfulness within the dance and pop worlds, culminating in a strong body of work that has solidified Cosmo's Midnight as formidable champions of Australian-made electronic music. 

There's something naturally immersive about the sonic realm Cosmo's Midnight creates with each project. Fusing both electronic and groove-based influences; speaking to both brothers' own unique flair. 

Across their albums What Comes Next (2018) and the ARIA-nominated Yesteryear (2020), Cosmo's Midnight have flexed significant production and writing chops – speaking to the DIY beginnings, and expansion of creative vision as their confidence and natural dynamic as musical partners has also grown over the years.

This dynamic has once again shone, with the creation of Cosmo's Midnight's third studio album, Stop Thinking And Start Feeling - featuring collaborators including Franc Moody, Forest Claudette, spill tab, Tkay Maidza, and KUČKA, marking a confident evolution in songwriting and sound. 

Having also collaborated with global artists including BTS and NCT Dream, and remixed tracks for Flume, HONNE, and GoldLink. Cosmo's Midnight are always evolving.

On Cue 

ICON SERIES is back in its second year for round two, bringing a massive lineup of electronic, HC punk, and experimental icons live under one roof at OAF for a full venue takeover. 

The night moves between the synth-pop hooks of Holy Balm, the return of whom has been highly celebrated, and a rare live performance of Drive Time, seminal 80s minimal-synth and industrial art-pop played by its pioneers, David Chesworth & Bill McDonald.

The energy shifts to the kings of punk ~ masters of hardcore, Sydney's very own Rapid Dye, contrasted by the distinct, left-field pop ensembles of Astrid, Mona Mule, Arditi Daggers and Neis. The gem and cherry of it all is the anticipated return linking-up three aces Sevy + Bayang + Rydeen.

A huge wall piece is revealed bringing together three pillars of Sydney/Eora DIY, merging the visual worlds of Prop Records, Pass~Port, and China Heights.

Tickets are on sale now. Don't sleep on it.

Montaigne - Glorious Heights 10th Anniversary Tour

The midwest, particularly the part of the midwest ***Eric D. Johnson*** (USA) hails from, is a largely flat expanse. Zipping through it on the highway, you’ll see cities and towns rise up in the distance, but blink and you’ll miss other man-made rejoinders to horizontal living dotting the landscape, hill after hill, built from the refuse of the past: landfills. Some of these hills make for great sledding spots, parks, and trails. Others turn organic waste into compost. The Landfill, Fruit Bats’ June 12, 2026 album from Merge Records, is something else entirely: a mountain dominating the landscape of Johnson’s heart.

This being a Fruit Bats record, one scales that mountain to take in the view, to see the future spread out as wide and endless as the midwestern plains. “But the mountain that gives us this vantage point,” Johnson says, “is made out of the trash that we’ve created, the collective weight of the past and where it’s taken us.” When he details that view on title track and lead single “The Landfill” — “a holy vision / of what could be / and couldn’t be / and could have been” — it’s thrilling to hear him sent soaring by a full complement of instruments. But what’s truly stunning is how, in his recontouring from could to couldn’t to could have been, he has lost none of the vulnerability that was brought to the foreground of his songwriting by 2025’s solo outing, Baby Man.

Over the course of his now 25-year career under the moniker, most of Eric D. Johnson’s output as Fruit Bats has been the product of patience and fine-tuning. His songs, to borrow a phrase, are slow growers, given life on albums that encompass long stretches of time and memory. Baby Man changed that — he disallowed himself from referring to material he’d been working on before laying the album down, utilising the morning pages technique of stream-of-consciousness, observational songwriting which flowed directly into his afternoon recording sessions. It was both a breathtaking document of Johnson’s skill as a singer-songwriter and an unvarnished account of the two weeks in which he recorded the album.
