Electrifying and cinematic, Nice Biscuit is Australia’s newest DIY psych-garage export, an intergalactic six-piece fronted by two ethereal, time travelling space kittens. The sextet made their debut in Brisbane in 2016 and quickly gained a reputation for their kaleidoscopic live shows.

Following the release of their debut album, Digital Mountain in late 2018, the garage outfit have returned with their latest single ‘Goodbye Luya,’ a more relaxed approach to their music drawing influences from ‘60s surf, psych and Krautrock. The sound is pure Biscuit — lush, Technicolor and out of this world.

Arising from a forced departure from a long held sharehouse ‘Goodbye Luya’ sees the DIY enthusiasts paying homage to the decrepit and derelict residence that the band was conceived and grew up in. Layered in lush guitars, four part vocals harmonies and washed out synth this latest single sees Nice Biscuit incorporate new sounds and ideas to push out of their comfort zone and into unfamiliar territory.

The two lead singers, Grace Cuell and Billie Star (Billie Violet Flaming Star Gibbs Heatherington on her birth certificate) are best friends. They both sang in their respective school choirs, and were introduced by a mutual friend who knew they would hit it off. The first time they hung out, they played guitar together, and bonded over a cover of a Laura Marling tune. They say they are cut from the same velvety, sequinned cloth; creative soul mates. Together, they design and sew their own costumes, inspired by ‘60s and ‘70s style in a ‘90s colour palette.

Black Futures have announced the release of their debut album, Never Not Nothing, on August 30 via Music For Nations. To celebrate the occasion, the band have shared their latest aural and visual offering, ‘Tunnel Vision’. Accompanying the track, a warped and lysergic video – produced in conjunction with 3D animation artist Sam Gilmore – transcends and challenges social norms in a surreal and allegorical barrage of provocative symbolism.

Black Futures state: “Tunnel Vision is a love song to existence. A profession of absolute obsession and dedication to music, art, nature, progress and loved ones. An expression of the constant destructive will to create, making you a violent collision of contradicting devotion. The frustrating dichotomy between existing as a human now in 2019 and the battle not to destroy everything in your wake. Personally this is something that consumes us with equal parts hope and despair with every moment.

“‘Tunnel Vision’ is also a tribute. A sonic totem to the obsession of radicals that push the boundaries of politics, rebellion, altruism, conservation, science, design.... pioneers breaking us from stasis, plucking us from our current norm on a quest to a gentler future. Often it can feel like you are alone on the edges of society constantly swimming against the current state of hyper-capitalist zombification. Struggling to exist as yourself within the confines of our society. You are not alone. Keep pushing. Keep true... Revolution is coming. Onwards to Newtopia!”
