Complex Pop: Redspencer – “Rainbows”

Redspencer

“Rainbows”

Perks

I love of band that subtly plays with the tempo so you really have to count to catch the time change.  Redspencer is one of those great bands that make complexity sound so simple, yet their lovely music packs a punch. Rural-born brothers Dave and Aiden McMillian traded the sun-drenched plains of northern New South Wales for the rich cultural tapestry — and comparatively dreary weather — of Melbourne. 2015 sees the two siblings (alongside Andre Franco on bass, and Alex Buchanan on guitar) continue to draw influence from their provenance in Redspencer.  (Again, what is in the water down there in Melbourne.)  If you like jangling pop, like the Byrds or Wilco, Redspencer is your band.  Enjoy their dreamy complex pop.
