THEY EVEN DID A REMIX OF SLOW MAGIC. Giraffage is by far the best experimental/electronic artist that I’ve had the pleasure of hearing for quite some time.

The track features stunning vocals from Mandy Lee to accompany the dance fuelled cover that has already made its mark by reaching #1 on the Hype Machine twitter charts in under 24 hours of its release. The video to accompany the track, directed by Max Manspit (director of David Lynch’s “I Know”), is a real feel good video that epitomises the party vibe of the song. With their new 6-track EP, Magic, to be released at the end of the month this track is the perfect way to shake off the snow and get ready for Spring. The guys are currently working on their debut record which will be released in September and the EP follows the success of indie single ‘Make it Better’ and their recent release ‘Dancing With the DJ’. Along with DJ Shadow, the duo have recently toured with the likes of Ellie Goulding, Sleigh Bells, MIA and Big Boi along with headlining their own dates in the UK and US. They will be performing at this years SXSW festival as part of Neon Gold’s showcase.

Who be Lion? Who be Proud and Free? She began in the underworld of Sydney’s artist-run spaces, warehouses and speakeasies. She could be singing a jazz ballad one moment, a baroque aria the next, and screaming indeterminate noise for the encore. She was known for giving performances comprising of song, spoken word poetry, and performance art. She directed bands built out of hybrid instruments, junk percussion, and choirs. Though many knew her for these off-the-wall productions, few realized where she came from. My people came from the East upon the seas. They dealt in silks, soaps, and rosewater, carried goods on great ships that weathered wild waters and siren song. It was told that my Great Grandad, when his ship was attacked by pirates off the Congo coast, made a raft out of a soapbox, stuck on a silken sail, and pitched up fresh as seaweed on African shores. Made love to a gypsy who gave birth to Grandma. At sixteen, Grandma became the first woman to play piano for the silent films. She told me Charlie Chaplin once stepped right off the screen, tumbled onto her piano and blew her a kiss. It was with that kiss that her belly grew big and there, at the foot of the cinema screen and under the piano, the magician slid out. I am the magician’s daughter. I have no religion, for the magician taught me that miracles are merely illusions the people don’t yet understand. How extraordinary ordinariness would be if only us humans were bright enough to see it. On her sixth birthday the family left South Africa. By this time she had already declared that when she grew up she was going to be a singer and a writer. The girl wrote her first song at eight, and never stopped. She studied baroque and opera through high school; performance, musicology and composition when she left; and finally was accepted into Sydney Conservatorium of Music’s Jazz Degree. “It was there that my mentor taught me something life-changing: In order to truly master your art form, it must be lived, not just studied.” So, supported by her mentor, she left the Conservatorium and took on the musical life. I had nothing to lose. I took a chance on whim and embarked on my dream. The journey began with a plane ticket to New Orleans. She had two months in North America with little money, and no plans except to embrace every experience and use it to write enough material for an album. Paws pounded those pavements to the rhythms of drum lines and blistering brass. On Montegut Street a tattooed tomcat took me in. His house groaned and shook like a pirate ship on high seas. Jungle trees hid this curiosity from the street. Inside, a salvaged wreck of musical instruments, piled high in the house’s walls, bellowed and sung as if mourning their mates lost to the last hurricane. I imagined I was a pirate queen, scaling masts and swinging from sails until, one morning, I slipped, fell from the roof and landed in a voodoo wagon. The trip took her from the bawdy bars and tattoo parlors of the French quarter, on a journey that had her hitching through Alabama, North Carolina, up to Seattle, through San Francisco and eventually back to Los Angeles. Kitty Clementine arrived in LA off the back of a pickup truck, with a book full of new songs, to a serendipitous week in Jeff Bova’s studio. Together they laid down an album in seven days. I am Kitty Clementine. I make reality magical and I run hot on the heels of revelry. I am sharp, I am fierce, and I have stories you won’t believe. So fluff up your feathers and run the road. Be brave and wild with me.
