A sound rooted in inherent darkness, influenced by early-80s post punk, no wave
(fellow Australians The Birthday Party come to mind) and the bleakest of world views.
Words that come to mind while listening to
Coconuts’ debut album include ‘ugliness’,
‘despair’ and ‘un-marketability’.
It’s an almost disorienting experience, created by
homemade guitars that seem to leak feedback,
built by founding members Tim Evans and
Jordan Redaelli.
The duo met up with Pacific North Westerner
Daniel Mitha, whose primitive drumming
completed the group.
It should also be mentioned that this record has
killer harmonies.
