Harvey Sutherland’s latest 12” marks the inaugural release for
Clarity Recordings, an imprint established by Sutherland for
modern Australian records.
The first new music from the Melbourne producer since last
year’s cuts for MCDE, the double A-side Priestess / Bravado
features his live trio Bermuda at full tilt, with an ensemble of
hand clapping friends. Self-described “lounge room disco
burners”, the record summons the groove experiments of Patrick
Adams, Bill Laswell and Arthur Russell, while retaining Harvey’s
soulful tones and club-ready arrangements.
Priestess evolves slowly, a nine-minute mind dance that
ultimately reaches a celestial state. Sutherland’s piano lines
bounce off drummer Graeme Pogson’s unwavering four-on-the-floor,
while one-man string section Tamil Rogeon travels skyward. Live
standout Bravado is played with determined precision,
locking into a tough backbeat that only breaks once Sutherland’s
warbling lead solo approaches its resonant peak.
Priestess / Bravado 12” and digital will be released
worldwide on 4 November 2016, via Clarity Recordings and Above
Board Distribution.
