<\/p>\nPerth-based, four-piece band Scenic will take you on a cosmic journey — and let’s just say the “view” is stunning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The latest in the wave of Australian bands to cross over on to our shores, Scenic prove that it’s not just in the country’s main cities where the magic is happening. The vastness of the band’s atmospheric sound juxtaposed with the delicacy of the vocal delivery makes for the perfect ‘chilled playlist’ kind of day, especially on the few days we have left of the summer. As label mates of the likes of Jagwar Ma and Flume, the band are on track to become another of Australia’s biggest exports. Wonderland spoke to the band ahead of the release of their new EP, ‘Shockwaves’.<\/p>\n
I read that you were all in a band together at school – how different is the music you’re making now compared to the music you were making then?<\/strong><\/p>\n We all met in high school and played around in a few musical projects together. Thankfully the music we\u2019re making now is significantly different and hasn\u2019t really been influenced by our high school bands. Although, most of the skills learnt from our respective music classes are still pretty relevant.<\/p>\n You’re about to release a new EP, ‘Shockwaves’ – how does it differ from your previous EP, ‘Another Sky’?<\/strong><\/p>\n The most significant difference on the new EP would be the use of analog gear, where previous releases have been predominantly software orientated. After the release of \u2018Another Sky\u2019, we spent a long time experimenting with analog synths and different instruments, as well as discovering new techniques on how to record drums, bass and guitar in a more sophisticated way. The new EP has also shifted in style towards being more band orientated. Another driving force behind the EP was being able to play the songs live and in an engaging way.<\/p>\n
