Description
Season 2 formed in late 2024, bringing together seasoned Melbourne
musicians with previous and current projects including Parsnip, The Stroppies
and Phil and the Tiles. The five piece, comprising Carolyn Hawkins, Claudia
Serfaty, Charlotte Zarb, Freya McLeod and Matt Powell, quickly set to work
writing winsome, DIY, shimmer-pop hits that careen through your mind in a
gratifying dizzy rush.
With a clear collective vision and little time to waste, Season 2 spent 2025
writing and recording, appearing live only a handful of times. Finally, this
April, the band are primed for their debut release, a full-length album entitled
'Power of Now'. ‘Power of Now ‘is a cerebral explosion of melody, hooks,
drones and rhythm. In the vein of The Feelies, The Vaselines and The
Clean, Season 2 have whipped up a sonic whirlwind. It's a giddy thrill of
snappy slap, catchy gang vocals and crystalline guitar refrains.
'Abundance of Power' is a bittersweet bop of ponderous bass, crisp chord
flashes and grounded vocals that dwell on slighted futures and bored
realities. 'Becomes a Dream' is a delirious race of scrappy strumming and
flying phrases that unsettle as much as they pinball endorphins - "pour the ink
into the sand, watch the dog it bites the hand". "Tell me something, elbows on
the table, I'll tell you nothing, leave you tugging at the cable" they sing on the
peppy future single 'Tugging at the Cable', capturing a certain innocent, wide-
eyed expressiveness. Season 2 do sparky well, their songs are instant
rewards, tunnelling into your subconscious and testing the dance floor. They
keep everything moving, the beat and the conversation. Season 2 sound
barely controlled and all the better for it, you have no choice but to be swept
up.
'Power of Now' was recorded by Alex Macfarlane (The Green Child, Chateau)
and mastered by Mikey Young. It will be released digitally and on LP (black
vinyl) on April 24th, internationally via Upset The Rhythm and locally in
Australia by Spoilsport Records.
