Mope City: Halfway House

It's not all about Melbourne. Here come Mope City from Sydney who pick their poison from damaged party rock, roughneck jangle and Australia's branch of the paisley underground.

So Halfway House is breathy and menacing like The Church - or for younger viewers, Blank Realm's Grassed Inn - and Small Eye is 2015's first classic. Two thirds of Mope City moonlight in Day Ravies, so you get the picture. Right, I'm going to dust off those early Crystal Set records.
