Technicolour Dreaming

We had a guest in the studio with us this week ... Vic from Walking Bird Records came in to give us a sneak preview of their latest release, the album “Look!” by Adelaide’s own Tom Redwood, recorded in Vic’s Walking Bird studio and featuring members of Vic’s own band, Vic Conrad & the First Third on some of the songs. Though basically ‘singer/song-writer’ in genre, there are more electric ‘acid-folk’ and ‘soft-psych’ elements in some of the songs, which we found appropriate for Technicolour Dreaming – definitely worth checking out! Our “Band of the Week” fetured UK band the Sunchymes, whom regular listeners will recognise as long-time favourites on this show. Aaron from the band has assured us that a new album is nearing completion and we’re hoping that this will be the one that finally gets them the recognition they richly deserve – a very talented band! There were also tracks from Ty Segall, Grand Rapids, Wellwater Conspiracy and Singapore Sling plus a single from the wonderfully-named Dr Cosmo’s Tape Lab and much more.....
