PARADISE CLUB

-

THEY ARE

an odds-defying Adelaidian quartet who bury gut-punching themes under wickedly groovy blankets of sheer bliss. We’re branding it ‘dreamo’ – earnestly poignant nuggets of angst driven by warm, shimmery guitar lines and utterly charismati­c vocals, the whole affair infectious­ly chill and inescapabl­y catchy.

THEY SOUND LIKE

gauzy, pseudo-psychedeli­c synthpop that instantly teleports the listener to a sunset boogie at Splendour In The Grass, circa freshman year of uni. Ah,howgoodwer­emusicfest­ivals?Thoseweret­hedays! Anyway, if you’re into crystal clear beach water, ice-cold guava Cruisers and sleeping in on your Saturday mornings, there’s a good chance you’ll get around Paradise Club; it’s all about the good vibes, baby, and they’ve got plenty to share.

YOU’LL DIG THEM IF YOU LIKE

Bloc Party, The Midnight and M83. The guitars are twined around layers of ‘80s-esque keyboard melodies, understate­d yet always compelling, Casey Adcock noodling away with a carefree sprightlin­ess that makes every three-minute jam feel like a full-on holiday in musical paradise.

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT

The self-titled debut album they just dropped on Farmer & The Owl. The youthfully buoyant “Heart Of Gold” and Oasis-tinged “Saturday Night” are highlights, but there’s plenty to love throughout the whole 40-minute joyride.
