Artist Background: "Methyl Ethel" is an indie pop, dream-pop band from Perth, Australia. Jake Webb started Methyl Ethel in 2013 as a way of getting his bedroom recordings out there and into ears and minds. The gentle-eyed polymath got his start playing with underground bands in Perth, Western Australia. He picked up his first guitar aged 12 and started figuring out songs, endlessly fascinated by their structure. By late 2014, the local buzz around Methyl Ethel was warming up and Webb needed a proper band. Thom ... Part of the Perth, Australia music scene. Emerged in the contemporary era.

Shedding some of the gauzy atmospherics of their debut, <i>Oh Inhuman Spectacle</i>, the Perth trio are more muscular on this impressively disparate follow-up. Elastic basslines instil funk into “Ubu”’s skewed glam rock and the gothic synth-pop of “L’heure des sorcières”. Jake Webb’s haunted vocal benefits from these less-cloistered surroundings, and the dark romance of a lyric like “Listen for me in a very beautiful car accident/Now we’re mangled up together/Righteous!” sears through “No. 28”’s twisting, scraping guitars.
