Hailing from Melbourne, The Ancients could well be what your pop dreams are made of - especially if those dreams are warm, hazy and just a little on the trippy side. 2ser Subscribers can win a copy of this album all week on Breakfast, Overdrive and Static.
The wisdom and wizardry of The Ancients.
Sensory Projects is very proud to present 'The Ancients 2'.
'The Ancients 2' is the follow up to The Ancients self titled full-length, released in 2009 through revered UK label Moteer.
'The Ancients 2' is filled with irrationally clever pop songwriting wrapped around sinuous rock. Recorded by Julian Patterson (Mum Smokes/Minimum Chips) and The Ancients, the album is wise, playful, lyrically surreal and irrevocably memorable. From the neo-pop of 'Street Funk' to the glazed highway folk of 'The Rambler', 'The Ancients 2' never falters.
A local re-issue of the Moteer release with the addition of previously unreleased material from The Ancients is
planned for 2011.
For now though, we can all bask in the genius that is 'The Ancients 2'.
The Ancients are: Georgina Ward, Jonathan Michell, Mark Rodda, and Raquel Solier.
