Good in Small Doses
After slowly releasing singles such as: 'Danger Danger', 'Electrocutie', and 'Old Soft Shoe', which can all be found on the debut album, alongside some new tracks to produce a 10-track album filled with melodic, stylish and brimming with power.
Malibu Spacey, the 70's inspired folk and alt-rock icons from Naam (Melbourne) are back again with their debut album 'Good in Small Doses'.
“Musically, I’m always inspired to write songs that don’t feel obvious. Harmonically, I tend to like songs that take you to a place that just feels a little unusual, rather than predictable. I like chord progressions that are out of the ordinary, songs that subtly change key, songs that are modal – but all still within a fairly typical pop song form that’s recognisable and approachable.”
After slowly releasing singles such as: 'Danger Danger', 'Electrocutie', and 'Old Soft Shoe', which can all be found on the debut album, alongside some new tracks to produce a 10-track album filled with melodic, stylish and brimming with power. Evoking memories of Laurel Canyon, Big Star, The Byrds, and combining them with the slick glam and alt-folk of contemporary acts such as The Lemon Twigs and Angel Olsen, the band showcases a song writing ability that is mature beyond their years.Originally formed in 2017, the band has undergone some minor line-up changes but has been with the current members since late 2023.
It’s a labour of love, a group project in the truest sense of the term. With a vast array of influences brought to the table by each member, what comes out the other end is something quite different than the sum of its parts. From 60s and 70s pop and folk to psych, prog, alternative and garage.In a typical DIY approach, the album was recorded at various houses around Victoria, including multiple sessions at a beach house in Rye (Mornington Peninsula). It was recorded and mixed by guitarist Zoran Lasich, with mastering by Joe Carra of Crystal Mastering.
“The album captures a bunch of different episodes in our lives. It’s kind of like a record in the literal sense for ourselves, but also to show people how we’re evolving.”
With the support of continuing airplay from the likes of RRR, PBS, RTR FM and 2XX, 'Good in Small Doses' has been conceived very well in rock playlists and constant rotation.
