Royal Chord have playing around town now for the past three years…in between travelling the globe and touring that is.
Tammy Haider and Eliza Hiscox have released three albums to date since forming in 2001 in Melbourne. They don’t seem to be in too much of a hurry with getting their music out there, instead letting it happen when it happens. This relaxed attitude is reflected perfectly in their output with All your Caribbean a shining example.
As Cyclic Defost in Sydney described the ladies:
They’re operating with minimal ingredients, some keyboards, the ocassional acoustic or electric guitars, a basic at times cheesy drum machine and their incredible vocals. There’s a real alt country lilt to the way they sing at times, and there’s often a country highway twang to their guitar, yet the glockenspiel, keys and drum machine take them into another realm. It’s all so understated, there’s no bluster, it’s gentle, quite restrained and as a result really unique and really quite beautiful.
Support is from Lonski & Classen.
