new releases
- SOUNDS LIKE: an Aussie-flavoured quirky symphony of honey-scented
grooves, jovial humour and joyous beat-trickery!
- Behind the bill of the spoon is Melbournian JIM MOYNIHAN
- The album's signature tune 'Gumtree' won Spoonbill the 1st prize and
People's Choice award in the 2004 Melbourne Fringe Festival's Electrovision
competition, and is included on the album as a ridiculous cut 'n' paste
film clip by VJ King Aphid.
After two years of fossicking for samples, making sonic waves in the studio and recording with some of Melbourne's finest musos, the delightful, genre-bending first offering from Melbourne producer and live electronic performer SPOONBILL has finally hatched! Megafauna is an elegant and quirky symphony of honey-scented grooves, jovial humour and joyous beat-trickery, melding an ever-evolving array of styles into a distinctive Aussie blend. From it's richly textured electronic centre to the live licks around its jazzier edges, Megafauna celebrates and pokes fun at colloquial Australiana.
Call it quirk-funk or downbeat with bite, Megafauna takes the listener firmly by the scruff of the ear and leads them into a shady forest of rhodes, horns, and deep double bass, then back out into an eccentric wonderland of glitched-out grooves infused with AM talkback radio and rowdy bush cobbers. Spoonbill's been flapping his production and performance wings over the last five years, crafting live electronics alongside some of Australia's finest, including The Cat Empire, TZU, Music vs Physics, The Brown Hornet and Skunkhour. On dark nights, you'll find the Spoonbill and his crew at the wheel of the Mobile Broadcast Unit van, projecting their imagery onto prominent public buildings and crafting spontaneous sound performances in the public domain.
