No two ways about it, this Melbourne, Australia eclectic-fusion group is one of our favorite bands out there. And they are way out there! You could spend years trying to decipher their messages about cuttlefish and mushrooms, or trying to successfully categorize them into some sort of rock taxonomy, or trying to nail their perfectly imperfect groove.This record (we are afraid to say their most recent — cause there might be a new one any second) is called — Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava. It’s available on their KGLW label. It is their 21st studio album. Annnnnd — it’s only their fifth album in a year.

Last month, Seattle indie supergroup Who Is She was set to perform a multi-night residency during Kraken hockey games at Climate Pledge Arena. KEXP’s Dusty Henry reported on the band’s performance before they took the stage, but the band was fired after only one performance. The band’s firing drew attention from the international press. Dusty caught up with the band for what he calls “post-game analysis.”
