Stationary Suns – s/t 7″

Liam Doyle — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 18:06:22 +0000

Stationary Suns are a four-piece from Melbourne, featuring John Tucker (of Spider Vomit) and Lei and Mai Gryfydd (both of Hissey Miyake) on guitar/bass and vocals and Monika Fikerle (of of Love of Diagrams) on drums. They have recently released a self-titled 7″ on new feminist record label Identical Records.

Each of the EP’s four songs hover around the two minute mark, with the dark and spiky ‘You Won’t Remember This’ opening proceedings, marching along with a kind of elbows-out attitude. ‘Oh No’ follows a similar pattern, backed by guitars that bend and sway like a vision on the bare-brick walls of some sweaty club.

‘Heat’ is all shambling percussion and tightly wound guitar, the voices of Gryfydd and Tucker emerging from seemingly nowhere to repeat the title, the song’s only lyric, while the record closes with ‘Careless’ and its sneeringly defiant chorus:

“I don’t even care about you
I never really liked you
I don’t even really know you”

Stationary Suns is out tomorrow (21st Oct) on Identical Records. Those of you in Melbourne can head along to the release show at The Tote.
