Alien Nosejob from Melbourne have been hard at work this year, releasing their second ‘hardcore’ EP on Iron Lung during the spring and now this new album (a split-release between local legends Anti Fade and Feel It in the US). Paint It Clear feels like another one of Jake Robertson’s heavy referential titles, with lead single “Leather Gunn” also reminding me of his work in super group Hierophants. With a surprising amount of pop appeal, this bouncy track has a one-note guitar line riding over the top throughout the song. Robertson plays everything on this record, which he recorded and mixed together with Mikey Young.
