Between hanging out with Koala bears and necking loads of Castlemaine XXX the Eddy Current Suppression Ring managed to record a super energetic and catchy record that sounds kinda early 90's. It's a right old post-punk garage fest with a poppy edge recalling ye olde Flying Nun NZ styles. What a tight bunch they are, and they can certainly write a good tune. Folks here be diggin' this record.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

New album from the best new Australian band in a good long time, When Eddy Current Suppression Ring formed in Melbourne, Australia,in 2003, bandmates Eddy Current, Rob Solid, Danny Current, and BrendanSuppression thought they would play a few shows and perhaps recorda 7-inch or two. One of their first gigs, in fact, was an employee Christmasparty at the record pressing plant where they worked.Six years later, the band has racked up accolades from the likes of SPINMagazine, London s Guardian newspaper, and the Australian IndependentRecord Labels Association. In March of 2009, they were awarded the $30,000Australian Music Prize for their second album, Primary Colours.Eddy Current s third full-length, Rush to Relax, is already one of the mostanticipated releases of 2010. Cut last August in a six-hour session at Melbourne sRevolver Rehearsal Studios, the album combines stripped-downpost-punk sensibilities with the sheer exhilaration of a four-man musicalunit that has created its own language, and will never run out of new thingsto say.While Primary Colours drew on what Guardian music critic Tom Hughesdescribed as fast n fuzzy garage rock, Rush to Relax employs a pop ethosmore common to the mid- 80s Dunedin Sound of New Zealand s Flying Nunlabel, with cascading guitar riffs and precise rhythms shadowing the introspectivelyrics from black-gloved frontman Brendan Suppression. The geographicaltug is most prevalent on Anxiety, the new album s lead single,which is a guitar-driven homage to The Clean s whimsical, scene-launchingdebut Tally-Ho, twisted via Eddy Current s inimitable style.The frantic pace of Anxiety is somewhat of an anomaly for Rush toRelax, a shape-shifter of an album that has already garnered comparisons toTelevision s 1977 landmark debut Marquee Moon. Like that classic group,Eddy Current Suppression Ring harnesses tension and propulsion to blastpast the barriers of everyday tedium.
