Prophetic Justice Ministry + Synergy Trilogy + chizu nnamdi
Entry Requirements: OVER 18s ONLY
Prophetic Justice Ministry is the solo music of Melbourne-based australian Sam Perry. Psychedelic, affecting pop music swathed in electronic atmospherics, his is a subterranean world informed by off-beat 60s otherworldly musicians like Syd Barrett and pioneers like Ash Ra and Klaus Schulze. In the Prophetic Justice Ministry, forms turn in on themselves, the unseen becomes seen and somehow the diamonds at the end of the process turn out to be some casually brilliant pop songs. The second Prophetic Justice Ministry is released by Night School in Europe and Hobbies Galore in Australia
Fellow Melbournians Synergy Trilogy stalk similar worlds, with a distinct lean-into the eldritch goth pop of the 80s and the dark crawl of hidden desire. Isabella Martin & Mathilda Cameron command the fogged-out atmosphere with a moody control that's seriously infectious. Tracks like Something's Snapped recall Rose McDowall's Sorrow project, with plaintive vocals gliding over the acoustic-strummed mangroves, while tracks like the cosmic Country of Holo Law are cinematic and moving.
chizu nnamdi is the semi-pseudonym of Glasgow-based Nigerian artist Chizu Anucha. His music is built of fleeting fragments, merging blurry half-remembered anecdotes that skip the details but remain hyper focussed on residual feelings and pockets of intense fixation.
Strung somewhere beneath an amber-tinged golden hour glow, his hands grip the sky and pluck remedies to suit his current mood. Where sensibilities cross he finds comfort in choppy, broken instrumentals and lusciously chorus-swelled guitar tones which draw influence from ambient folk, downtempo jazz, outsider music, shoegaze, archive reclamation, voice notes from pals, field recordings, et al.
