Fazerdaze @ Brighton Up Bar, 18th Feb

“Faderdaze are from New Zealand and are playing Sydney for the first time – it’s hard to tell who’s happier about being here, us or them. While on record it’s a pure DIY bedroom sound, played live it’s a louder and fuller experience, triumphant and joyous. There’s an obvious 80s & 90s indie feel here in the guitars and (especially) in Amelia Murray’s vocal, but it feels fresh and shin thanks to some clever and endearing songwriting. It’s hard not to hear dream-pop echoes of Lush, The Sundays, or Mazzy Star; but it’s equally hard to believe it hasn’t got a place in today’s sonic landscape. Based on tonight’s set, the new LP’s going to be a scorcher – and I can’t wait for their next visit here.”
