Life of games and dilligent trust Things we do and things we must

We’ve been waiting an excruciatingly long time to hear a new original from our Australian favorites, Du Tonc, so it’s with much relish that we now dive into Matt Van Schie and Mighty Mouse’s appropriately named new electronic knockout, High. The pair also announced that they’ve finished their long awaited debut album. High is an exhilarating intergalatic whirlpool, with I Know Leopard’s Jenny McCullagh on resplendent backing vocals. Its kaleidoscopic spiral is an iridescent vortex made up of spacey disco and ethereal synthwave. High, despite being a propulsive boost of pure exultant bliss, is also dipped in a pool of wistful melancholia and aching yearning. You can stream/download the polychromatic dazzler, here. We’ll be eagerly awaiting more news regarding Du Tonc’s debut album, and hoping for a tour that will bring them back to California.

Du Tonc - We Can Hold On

Du Tonc – We Can Hold On

For our greatest pleasure, Du Tonc (Mighty Mouse & Matt Van Schie) are back with a new original song, following their summer remix of “Rock The Boat”. Once more, they create an addictive track, with a retro touch, synths, guitar riffs and smooth vocals. Just the kind of track that can instantly put you in a good mood. It’s out now via Eskimo Recordings. Keep an eye out for their debut album…

"Anywhere" by Tear Council

We’ve been thirsting all year for fresh music from Australia’s Du Tonc, the brilliant duo consisting Matt Van Schie and Mighty Mouse, and though they haven’t dropped their next single together just yet, they have doused us with pristine pure euphoria in the form of their new remix of Toronto producer Munshine’s recent single Full Throttle, featuring the Darcys. Du Tonc turns the 80′s inspired neon disco found on the luxuriant original into a glamorous deep disco affair with their deep thrumming, relentlessly pulsating refix. Prepare to dance all day long to this coruscant whirlwind of ecstasy, a “full throttle” of an exhilarating banger in every sense.

Tear Council - "Anywhere"

Tear Council is a duo comprised of Michael Di Francesco (Touch Sensitive) and Matt Van Schie (Van She/Du Tonic). Prior to Michael’s Touch Sensitive endeavor, he was the bassist in Matt’s project, Van She; hence the evident chemistry in collaboration. Their first release, under newly formed Tear Council, “Anywhere“ features back up vocals by female vocalist Holiday Sidewinder.

The debut song release was accompanied by a (fantastic) music video which pays tribute to film-noir, sock-less dress shoes, and subtle parodies.

Phones don’t make that noise!

As for the song itself, there are a few distinct layers; the reverberating allegato chords, snaps, a vox box dictating harmony, what sounds like an old tr-808 drum machine and an emotional outpouring by vocalist, Matt, that rings ‘Hold your hand out to the world. Walk the streets for something more…Anywhere you want to go. All around.”  Overall the song creates a distinctly Australian, distinctly 80s vibe–as anyone would expect less from these two.

Tear Council have created a magical sound. Let’s hope this isn’t a one off.
