PNAU have always caused a bit of fuss and fluster with every project they’re invovled with, and delivering their latest album Soft Universe was no different. “It’s the sound of now…” according to Rolling Stone, and we would tend to agree with them in this instance. Soft Universe is an amazing expression of emotive electronica, defining a point in space, time and music for the band. With the duo taking to the main-stage at Splendour In The Grass sooner than you can imagine, you’re running out of time to learn the lyrics, so grab your copy of Soft Universe from JB Hifi or iTunes today.

PNAU – Soft Universe by etcetcmusic

For those unlucky enough to not have made the trip out to Woodford earlier this year and witnessed the spectacular which was Two Door Cinema Club at Splendour in the Grass, we have some good news. Triple J were there, seemingly armed with some microphones and a cassette recorder, and are bringing you Two Door Cinema Club Live at the Wireless.

The boys set from Splendour was broadcast last night at 8pm, and sounded just as (if not more) amazing than being there. For those who missed it, there is a third and final chance to catch the boys set this Sunday, 19th September at 5PM (EST).

Continuing down the TDCC front. In a stroke of digital genius, it seems Triple J were not the only media merchants armed with a recording kit. It seems amongst other things, the lads managed to keep a Handy-cam handy while they’re were out here, capturing an expressive self-shot tour video.

With footage from all around Australia, it’s definitely worth it’s share of bandwidth. Enjoy

Lost Valentinos‘ latest single Midnights is currently painting Triple J cosmic with the fractured guitars and mystical vocals unique to their “conquistadisco” sound. To request it on air, just click here.

And don’t forget that the gents are playing Splendour in the Grass in just over a month, while the Midnights EP, featuring Emperor Machine and Fan Death remixes,  is out June 26.

The airings co-incide with the international embargo finally lifting, so you can now buy the album in all its glory from iTunes as of today. Go on…what are you waiting for?!

Mission Control have been chosen by national youth broadcaster Triple J as a feature artist for Next Crop during November’s Aus Music Month.

For Next Crop, Triple J hand-picks the bands and solo artists they believe are the best new and rising Australian talent. It is an excellent initiative which showcases the incredible talent this country has to offer, and etcetc is so proud to have Mission Control featured in the line up.

Their Next Crop feature day is this Thursday, November 27. Before then you can hear the band’s Next Crop interview and read a Q&A with Raph Brous at the Mission Control Next Crop page at the Triple J website, along with the first single from their Innerspace EP, the dancey, f’ed up noise, and Vangelis soundtrack inspired Chariots Of Fire.
