Erasers is a relatively new Perth band that has Rupert and Andrew from Shock! Horror! on guitar and drums, respectively, as well as Rebecca on vocals.
They started somehow quietly, playing small gigs at parties and shops an slowly went into proper music venues, climaxing with a great performance at this year's In The Pines.
So, I was very surprised to hear they have a 7" EP title "Autumn" out now on Metal Postcard Records in Hong Kong (via Sydney and USA). I saw Rebecca at my workplace the other day and scored myself a copy, and what an awesome record that is!
I'm hoping to do an interview with them soon and will write more about this EP, but for now let's just say that all 4 song are brilliant excursion into dreamy psych pop with some post-punk elements. But fuck the labels, Erasers deliver it with their own style that does not sound like anything else around. It's not the new kind of psych revival that people might be familiar with through Perth bands that I won't even bother to mention here. Neither it is a Fabulous Diamonds rip off, as someone suggested recently on a certain social networking website. It's just Erasers. Full stop.
