The neverending offerings of psychedelic goodness from Australia are a welcome thing, with what feels like a continuous stream of other-worldly outfits coming from its rich and almost magical pool of talent. Among those are the ever-brilliant Brisbane cosmonauts Nice Biscuit, who have returned with 'Love That Takes You Up', the final single taken from their forthcoming album, 'SOS' (which releases October 4th).
Released collaboratively with Bad Vibrations and Fuzz Club in the UK, along with the Austin-based Reverberation Appreciation Society (also the producers and curators of the Levitation festivals in the US and France) and Brooklyn's Greenway Records in the United States, 'Love That Takes You Up' is a more dancey affair from the Brisbane outfit. The track is a cosmic kaleidoscopic odyssey, delving between synth-laced space-pop and jazz-tinged psych akin to that of Australian contemporaries Babe Rainbow. With a hypnotic motorik pulse and saccharine-sweet harmonies, Nice Biscuit are on an interstellar crusade, spreading the gift of love and kindness.
Built around an organic idea formed in a band jam, the groove-heavy 'Love That Takes You Up' clearly then meandered into the realm of addictive, where Nice Biscuit show why they are one of the most-promising psychedelic outfits around, right now.
On the single, the band explain, "It was an infectious melody and filled us with joy. When Grace and Billie came up with the harmony, we all couldn't stop smiling and playing it over and over."
