The Moving Stills - U and Me

 
 

Like seasoning the prefect dish or mixing a classy cocktail, combining surf rock with garage pop requires a delicate balance. If not done right, you’ve got a recipe where one flavor overpowers another or, even worse, it just tastes plain bad. The Moving Stills clearly took this into consideration prior to working on their excellent debut LP, Sunshine Corner. This four-piece from New South Wales, Australia have a familiar sound that’s kept fresh with tunes that are as fun as they are wholesome, such as “U and Me.” Straight out of the playbook of The Drums smash hit track “Money", this one’s similarly driven by a strong bassline, fuzzy guitar chords, and those quintessential falsetto notes from lead singer Mike Drennan. With a sound this infectious, we don’t expect The Moving Stills to be flying under the radar for much longer.
