I'm heartbroken to see it go. Caught so many good shows there, it was a major part of my life. Easily the best venue in the city and I was lucky to have gone four nights this final week.

Anyway, I love this jangly Aussie, seven inch by Brisbane's Thigh Master.

It's the only one here that I could have liked, because I did enjoy some of their previous albums, but no I found it dull.

3 albums from your top 5 would have a spot in my worst 10 for sure.

Varis wrote:I grabbed Kiasmos' self titled album on a whim and it has been a most enjoyable listen. All instrumental, fantastic as a background soundtrack to having people over for a leisurely weekend beer or 7. Pretty good pedigree here - Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen.

Here's Thrown from the album:

Seriously, this could be my favourite album of he year. Totally excellent.

Kiasmos - Looped
