Heavy Moss
Heavy Moss is an Australian psych-pop quartet led by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard bassist Lucas Harwood alongside Sam Ingles, Kyle Tickell, and Bec Goring. History Foundation Heavy Moss was formed due to a "spontaneous reunion" between Lucas Harwood and Sam Ingles in their hometown of Geelong, Victoria in 2022. The pair had previously been in a band named Atolls known for its 90's themed, gritty, retro-inspired sound. Harwood and Ingles work-shopped some of Harwood’s songs that did not quite fit with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, leaning more on psychedelic pop with inspirations from Elton John, King Krule, and Spacemen 3. Seeking a fresh direction, they brought in Kyle Tickell and Bec Goring to complete the lineup. The band has released their content under the p(doom) record label. Shortly after the band stabilized as a quartet they quickly released two singles: "Morning Milk" and "Summa". The former was mostly based on Harwood's style, while the latter was based ...

Dead Slow
''Dead Slow'' is the debut studio album by Australian psych-pop band Heavy Moss, released on November 22, 2024. Development Heavy Moss' debut album, the band was formed in late 2022 after Lucas Harwood and Sam Ingles reconnected in their hometown of Geelong. Both had previously played in a Surf rock band named Atolls from 2011 to 2014. Most of the band's music is from a back catalog of unused song ideas made by Harwood which didn't mesh with the style of the other band he was in, ''King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard''. While Harwood and Ingles work-shopped these old songs, they also brought in Kyle Tickell, a dreampop veteran, and Bec Goring with a background in jazz, to complete the band's lineup. In the buildup to the albums release, two songs; Star and Treadmills, would be released as singles. The songs were written by Lucas Harwood and Kyle Tickell, with Tickell making more "jangly pop" songs, while Harwood took influence from the 1960s. Tickell claims that he came up wi ...

Psych-pop
Psychedelic pop (or acid pop) is a genre of pop music that contains musical characteristics associated with psychedelic music. Developing in the mid-to-late 1960s, elements included " trippy" features such as fuzz guitars, tape manipulation, backwards recording, sitars, and Beach Boys-style harmonies, wedded to melodic songs with tight song structures. The style lasted into the early 1970s. It has seen revivals in subsequent decades by neo-psychedelic artists. Characteristics According to AllMusic, psychedelic pop was not too "freaky", but also not very "bubblegum" either. It appropriated the effects associated with straight psychedelic music, applying their innovations to concise pop songs. The music was occasionally confined to the studio, but there existed more organic exceptions whose psychedelia was bright and melodic. AllMusic adds: "What's trangeis that some psychedelic pop is more interesting than average psychedelia, since it had weird, occasionally awkward blends o ...

Treadmills (song)
"Treadmills" is the fourth single by Australian psych-pop band Heavy Moss, later released as part of their first studio album ''Dead Slow''. Recording The single was released on November 13, 2024, in the buildup to the first studio album by Heavy Moss, ''Dead Slow'', which was released on November 22. Lucas Harwood stated that the song started as "a demo I had kicking around for a few years that I totally forgot about." Harwood stated that he had his Jazz teacher James Bowers help him work on the cords, and get the verses and chorus to work together, and that "the verses are an anxious stream of consciousness and is kind of jolty and angular" while the chorus "is in a different key and is meant to be a really pretty love song within the song." He also stated that his son Ari coined the line “I noticed your life” and that he was largely inspired by the songwriting of David Berman. Much of the work on “Treadmills” was done in post-production as the band experimented with dif ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rhodes Piano
The Rhodes piano (also known as the Fender Rhodes piano) is an electric piano invented by Harold Rhodes, which became popular in the 1970s. Like a conventional piano, the Rhodes generates sound with keys and hammers, but instead of strings, the hammers strike thin metal tines, which vibrate next to an electromagnetic pickup. The signal is then sent through a cable to an external keyboard amplifier and speaker. The instrument evolved from Rhodes's attempt to manufacture pianos while teaching recovering soldiers during World War II. Development continued after the war and into the following decade. In 1959, Fender began marketing the Piano Bass, a cut-down version; the full-size instrument did not appear until after Fender's sale to CBS in 1965. CBS oversaw mass production of the Rhodes piano in the 1970s, and it was used extensively through the decade, particularly in jazz, pop, and soul music, as well by many rock artists. It was less used in the 1980s because of competi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

2024 Singles
4 (four) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 3 and preceding 5. It is a square number, the smallest semiprime and composite number, and is considered unlucky in many East Asian cultures. Evolution of the Hindu-Arabic digit Brahmic numerals represented 1, 2, and 3 with as many lines. 4 was simplified by joining its four lines into a cross that looks like the modern plus sign. The Shunga would add a horizontal line on top of the digit, and the Kshatrapa and Pallava evolved the digit to a point where the speed of writing was a secondary concern. The Arabs' 4 still had the early concept of the cross, but for the sake of efficiency, was made in one stroke by connecting the "western" end to the "northern" end; the "eastern" end was finished off with a curve. The Europeans dropped the finishing curve and gradually made the digit less cursive, ending up with a digit very close to the original Brahmin cross. While the shape of the character fo ...
