XPRESS MAGAZINE : UNKLE
All the way from the UK, James Lavelle and his “band” UNKLE played live in a little ol’ place called The Bakery Artrage Complex in Perth, Western Australia.
Introducing an interestingly artistic exploration of the UNKLE soundscape than I previously knew, it was wrong of me to expect the trip hop and dark beats of an UNKLE past, the likes of Psyence Fiction.
Instead, the fourth album “Where Did the Night Fall” from the newest reincarnation of the outfit brings us a moody combination of loud psychedelic rock, live guitars and James Lavelle on the synth with vocals by both Gavin Clark and Joel Bradbury on this live national circuit of Australia.
Songs featured: The Storm, Burn my Shadow, Ablivion, Eye for an Eye.
Encore: Heaven, Lonely Soul, The Time Has Come.

NAIK: The Sounds of Sam Price
Promotional press photo for local Perth musician Sam Price. NAIK stands for Nature and Its Killers; I drew inspiration from the name for his portrait.
I wanted there to be a connection between nature and music, in which the two both evolve organically, so I had Sam lie down on top of a makeshift garden bed, with the rich soil enveloping him. Believe it or not this was shot in our front yard! I think it was a really nice result, I’m pretty happy with these photos.
