OZ VINYL GETS VIVID

H old your breath. Make a wish. Count to three. Come with me, and you’ll be, in a world of homegrown vinyl appreciation – when you set your hungry eyes on a range of Australian LPs in the kinds of candy colours which would make Wonka blush: Tash Sultana’s incandescent Flow State (2018) on velvety purple; Silverchair’s seminal Frogstomp (‘94) on shiny, amphibious green; Parkway Drive’s luscious, thrashing Reverence

(‘18) in noble bronze; Didirri’s divinely emotive EP Measurements (‘19) on frosted clear; Regurgitator’s juicy Quarter Pounder compilation (’19) on slinky silver; Japanese Wallpaper’s chimerical Glow (’19) in gleaming white; Amy Shark’s intimate Love Monster (’18) in radiant magenta; Gang Of Youths’ heart- shredding-then-healing Go Farther In Lightness (’17) on transparent green; and so, so many more. Feast your peepers. ZKR
