When you think/eat Outback Steakhouse, you know for sure that it isn't "authentic" cuisine, but rather an Americanized rip off of Australia's great outback wonders. I can say [yes, from experience] that Australia is an amazing place with great cities, wildlife and music trends. And if you really want to drink Foster's in Australia, prepare to get verbally berated.
Meet Pikelet, a one woman psych-pop project fronted by Evelyn Morris from Melbourne and her 2nd studio album entitled Stem. With songs like "Weakest Link" and "Swooping Buzzards", it's easy to see why she has gained a following after touring with such notable acts as Jens Lekman, Beirut, Sufjan and Camera Obscura throughout Aus, Europe and New Zealand. As she employs that smooth/blip/pop style on the new album, it's doesn't take very long to become entranced by her soaring vocals, exciting new sounds and those catchy tribal drums [probably my favorite part of this album].
MP3 :: Pikelet - Weakest Link

Stem will be out Feb 17th [I think] via Chapter Music.
