1. Doteyes EP




    It is a pity that Hamilton has just lost Shane Dudfield aka Doteyes to the big, bright, and busy Melbourne. He brightened up the Hamilton gig scene with fun, light and energetic electonica-esque music. The short EP consists of four tracks: Eye For A Telescope is a heavy base synth number accompanied by distorted vocals that fill in as another instrument, and embodies the typical repetitive traits of the genre only to surmount to an epic chorus (Caution- side effects may include head-bobbing and foot- tapping). It possesses a somewhat Animal Collective feel to it. Steven Segal is the slow track that could easily be background music for a bar, or has the feel of an 80s ‘’slow dance’’. Bill Murray, a crowd favourite, explores varying rhythms and great climaxes- really this is what we should be shaking our hips to in clubs these days. With the conclusion of the EP, Hiroshima Jellyfish slows down again, and is a light hearted tune that one would expect to be accompanied by the visual effect of colourful bubbles floating about. The music is simple yet effective, proving how easy it is for one guy to make something good without pro mixers and excessive layering which often covers up the essence of the music. All in all, the EP is just like a wine tasting- you just end up wanting to drink the whole bottle and boogie into the night partying.
