The official home of Australian Independent Music, a place for music industry professionals alike, featuring the cream of the crop of Australia’s diverse and thriving independent music sector.

After celebrating the phenomenal output of Chapter Music last week, we thought it'd be nice to follow up with a release from another stalwart Australian indie label. This year Sensory Projects has been celebrating its 10th anniversary  of releasing excellent pop, electronica and experimental albums by local artists, and it doesn't show any sign of slowing down... the label's most recent release is "Let Music And Bodies Unite" by Rat vs Possum.

Building small melodic and rhythmic motifs into euphoric dance-floor bangers, Rat vs Possum have always been a killer live act (famous for zealously played floor-toms), but their latest release builds on their repertoire of tricks.  Musical subtleties, song structures, synth mastery and pop smarts have taken the lead to the point where "Let Music and Bodies Unite" is a slab of infectious dance pop music as good as any that has been released this year. All you have to do is deal with the grotesque Spencer Tunic inspired pile of naked limbs that comprises the artwork (or is it just us?)

Fat Monk (check the video) is the lead song but any  off the album would have done the job, it's just consistently rad.
