For the past two years, Nils Frahm had been building a brand new studio in Berlin to make his seventh studio album titled ALL MELODY, which was premiered via NPR.

His new album is born out of the freedom that his new environment provided, allowing Nils to explore without any restrictions. Despite being confined within the majestic four walls of the Funkhaus, buried deep in its reverb chambers, or in an old dry well in Mallorca, ALL MELODY is, in fact, proof that music is limitless, timeless, and reflects that of Nils’ own capabilities. From a boy’s dream to resetting the parameters of music itself. 

The PR Files are excited to be working on the Australian PR for this campaign.

Sydney artist Benfield is a product of unique experiences and and years of discipline honing his craft. Spending a year in solitude, travelling relentlessly, enduring a traumatic motorbike accident and cohabiting with an Antarctic explorer, Benfield’s art ventures far into the textures and layers of spine-tingling melodies, and delves into the rugged peaks and troughs of human experience through his lyrics and vocal delivery.

The debut single “How Can I Forget” is the first draw-card into the vast and magnificent sonic landscapes that Benfield creates. The track was produced by Luke Bertoz (Tales In Space, Dappled Cities) and also involves a collaboration with Graham Ritchie (Holy Holy, Big Scary, Japanese Wallpaper). Benfield’s EP is set for release in late 2018.

The PR Files is proud to be working with Benfield on the release of “How Can I Forget”.

Sydney-based rock band Decapitators have spent the last year since their formation forging a cult-like following in the dingier parts of Sydney’s Inner West for their dark and harmonically intense brand of rock. Their debut single “Crystal Math” is a dynamic dancy guitar onslaught, which showcases vocalist Ivan Wowk in a rhythmic chanting chorus and echoing guitar layers; a track self-described as “dynamic, eerie, playfully dissonant and shrouded in breathy mystery.” With a sound reminiscent of UK garage rock bands of the 80s and 90s, Decapitators’ first official track sees them bursting onto Sydney’s rock scene with a fervour. The track is accompanied by a hypnotic, grungy, Donnie Darko-inspired music video that perfectly encapsulates the stormy sentiment of the song.

Decapitators  is the product of a year-long trip to Mexico by two South Coast NSW friends. With no intentions for the music beyond writing songs on cheap guitars to pass the time, the jams quickly became anthems of the trip, and subsequently sentimental souvenirs. After some years of reprising these tunes every weekend upon reunion, Ivan (rhythm guitar and lead vocals) and Thorne (bass and backup vocals) began to dream of audiences beyond their immediate drunken social circles, and recruited two friends, one old (Matt on lead guitar and backing vocals) and one new (Tom on drums) to bolster the ranks.

Wagons stay atop their own tidal wave of hard-hitting, outlaw inspired, swamp rock madness, still pulsing and stomping together as a joint force, with singer Henry Wagons at the helm. Henry’s fierce intellect, once hurtling toward a career as a philosopher, was thankfully derailed by a record deal, a thirst for whisky and an insatiable need to make noise, as made evident by their music and lyrics.

Producing six albums together, the band have garnered an increasing list of awards and achievements including ‘Album of the Week’ on RRR, PBS, RTR, 2SER, Edge radio, The Age / EG ‘Best Band’ & ‘Album of the Year’, Rhythms Magazine ‘Album Of Year’, AIR ‘Country Album of the Year’, plus Melbourne Magazine naming Henry Wagons in their ‘Top 100 Most Influential People’.

The group have been regularly compared to the cheekiest and most mischievous of musical outlaws, from Johnny Cash to Nick Cave and have circled the globe testing the fortitude of some of the biggest stages at Bonnaroo, Bluesfest, Interstellar Rodeo, Laneway, Bumbershoot, Big Day Out, Out On The Weekend, Queenscliff, Ottawa Blues, as well as SXSW and Americana showcases.

The PR Files has the pleasure of working on the publicity for Wagons’ new album.

Beau Lightning, who previous released songs under his given name ELI, is inspired by California daze, desert surrounding the city of sin, cowboys, the moon landing and the alter ego in which Beau Lightning resides.

His debut single '“Last Night” was written and recorded entirely on his own after being given the opportunity to live in a recording on his own after being given the opportunity to live in a recording studio that a close friend and old work colleague built in his back yard. “Last Night” is the result of tinkering and experimentation, a first attempt at using real studio equipment. With some production guidance and mixing from John Broadbent, the song came into be. His music takes off their hats to bands like Queens Of The Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys and Wolfmother.

The PR Files are proud to be working with Beau Lightning!

Wellington-based producer and performer, Estère gives you a side of music you’ve never heard before. Estère’s production paints a canvas of unique juxtaposition which perfectly fits her self-made genre ‘Electric Blue Witch-Hop’.

Her 2018 two part album MY DESIGN, ON OTHERS’ LIVES recorded at her home studio in her 40’s Wellington villa explores the meaty side of electronic music. With succulent bass and weighty drums then contrasting with the warm ethereal side of pop and jazz melodies, Estère will leave you wanting more.

Devoted to break the mould and escape popular music’s limited scope of ‘personal dilemma’, the albums conjure meaningful narratives about kids obsessed with technology, displaced refugees, calling out to colonisation and controlling urges (to name a few).  

The PR Files are proud to work with Estère and introducing her to the Australian music scene.

Korky Buchek is made up of two blokes, Tom Elliot & Peter Sabbagh, who one day downloaded a pirated version of Ableton (shhh don’t tell) and had a bit of a muck around. Cut to 2018 and they went they’ve gone legit, and are turning out bass-heavy electronica that is grabbing the attention of tastemakers and seeing them playing festivals (Mountain Sounds, HARD Festival, The Plot) and supporting big names like What So Not and LDRU, whilst smashing out their own headline shows.

Tom & Peter draw their varied inspiration from 90s soul, disco, rock, house and hip hop. This blend of influences comes through in their music, and tunes like “All On You feat. Kwame” showcase their bold but refined style, many of which have charted on triple j unearthed and received additions to FBi Radio, triple j unearthed radio and spot plays on triple j.

Saint Sister is the Northern Irish eerie-folk creation of Morgan Macintyre and Gemma Doherty. A month after forming the duo were asked to perform on TG4 (Irish national TV), and opened Whelan’s for Arcade Fire’s Will Butler. Since their formation, the band have toured extensively throughout Europe. They made their US debut in March 2016 with multiple showcases at SXSW and have had notable appearances at numerous festivals including BBC Introducing at Glastonbury, Latitude, Electric Picnic, Longitude, The Great Escape, Reeperbahn Festival and Eurosonic.

2018 has already seen the band tour Sweden, Ireland and the UK. The band returned to the USA for their first headline shows in NYC, selling out National Sawdust in Brooklyn and adding another at Rockwood Music Hall. They returned to SXSW for the second time and were picked by NPR as one of the highlights of the festival.

Saint Sister’s latest single “Twin Peaks” was released earlier this year from their forthcoming album Shape of Silence. “Twin Peaks” explores a more direct approach to their songwriting. Pushing themselves away from their comfort zone has resulted in a single distinct from their earlier harp based Irish folk.

Although touring has at times taken precedence over recorded output, the band have firmly established themselves as one of the best regarded live acts in Ireland, a sentiment that is now being echoed across the pond. The duo are set to embark in their 32 date world tour for Shape of Silence in September this year.

The PR Files is proud to be working with Saint Sister on the release of their latest single “Twin Peaks”.

Stepping away from his roots of acting and comedy, Bill Murray and world renowned cellist Jan Vogler will be bringing their ‘New Worlds’ tour to Australia and New Zealand in 2018.

The show also features two other members, Mira Wang (violin) and Vanessa Perez (piano). Reflecting on the backgrounds of each of the four members of Bill Murray’s group, he described the idea as “the collision of America and Europe”. Coming from four different continents, Murray describes the group as “when the continents come together, the music moves right across the peninsulas from one to the other. It’s just a short journey from one continent to the other.”

Showcasing the core of the American values in literature and music, the show communicates and explores the bridges artists have built between America and Europe.

The PR Files are delighted to be working on the Australian PR for this tour.

The Griswolds returned this year with their explosive sophomore album ‘High Times For Low Lives’. The album presents a sonic evolution for the band, yet is still fuelled with the sun-soaked Griswolds’ shimmer that fans have come to know and love.

The band — singer Chris Whitehall, guitarist/keyboardist Daniel Duque-Perez, bassist Tim John and drummer Lachlan West — teamed up with Grammy Award-winning producer Andrew Dawson (Kanye West, Sleigh Bells, fun. and more) at his Los Angeles studio and strikingly evolved their musical personality. Their relentlessly catchy tropical indie-rock is now draped in swathes of funk, RnB, hip-hop and electro, with echoes of Michael Jackson, The Weeknd, Prince, Tame Impala and Kendrick Lamar abounding in its dancefloor-ready pop. 

This is all following the band’s 2014 album ‘Be Impressive’ which generated a staggering 30 million streams, debuted #2 on the Billboard New Alternative Charts, #5 on the iTunes Alternative Charts, lead single “Beware the Dog” becoming Rolling Stone Single of the Year 2014
