Tarntanya/Adelaide DIY band Brave Mistakes are back with a fabulous new mini EP, Heavy Idle. It features just two tracks: “Lie For My Love” and “Lines Around Colour.”
It’s a smart release which shows us a couple of different sides of this exciting act. “Lie For My Love” is a dark and brooding. It reminded me a little of early Nick Cave with its raw, post-punk intensity. “Lines Around Colour” is much lighter and more melodic. With more tenderness in Garrett R. Cooper’s vocals, it reminded me a little of a lost Roxy Music tune.
I was drawn to “Lines Around Colour” instantly, but now I’ve sat with Heavy Idle for a little while Lie For My Love has gotten under my skin. Listen to both songs on your favourite streaming platform now.
