Cue guilt free sleep-ins. gormanshop.com.au

State of Grace lyrically. How do you go about teaming an upbeat melody with darker lyrics? BY VERONICA STANF O R D

It’s time to put aside anything you thought you knew about Grace Woodroofe’s music. Along with a new performing name, R.W. Grace, Woodroofe has transformed her sound on her upcoming EP Love It Need It Miss It Want It. If you aren’t familiar, Woodroofe was practically discovered by the late Heath Ledger. Having toured with the likes of Alt-J, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, Glass Animals and Paul Kelly, it’s pretty clear she has a very promising career ahead of her. We sat down with the Perth-based musician ahead of her EP drop to talk friends, name changes and inspiration.

Love It Need It Miss It Want It is out now. rwgrace.com

What can we expect from your upcoming EP? It’s very much me. All the songs are very personal and basically extracted from my journals. I started experimenting with electronic music for the first time, because I wanted to get rid of any limitations I possibly felt playing guitar – that’s what I had done previously for a really long time. I just wanted to strip it back, and open up sonically anything I can do electronically. I wouldn’t say [the songs] are pop, but they are definitely a growth from my previous work. It’s hard to explain, it’s a combination of pop music but also in keeping with these very poetic and symbolic languages to really play around with the things that make me, me, I guess.

I read that you were discovered by Heath Ledger? Yeah, I was 17 and had just started writing. I put a song up on [Triple J] Unearthed, I think it was the first song I had ever written. His sister passed the link onto him – just as sort of a “ohh you should check out my friend, she sings her own songs,” and he really responded to it. No one ever thought it would lead to what it did. He was very creative and wanted to help spread my voice around. He introduced me to Ben Harper who produced my first album. Tell us about your single ‘All the Friends I Lost’. It’s an upbeat track, but quite sombre

I guess I didn’t really have any upbeat lyrics (laughs). We wrote the music first and at the time I had been let down by a group of friends and I really felt like I needed to get that out. I didn’t feel like it wasn’t fitting or anything like that – it was just one of the contrasts that is really present in my music. I definitely had so many circumstances in that year where I would be at home by myself wondering why I wasn’t invited to that party or why didn’t that person want to hang out with me anymore. It all sort of accumulated into that song. I felt like I just needed to get all that emotion out. Why the name change? Mostly it’s just that it has been such a long time since I released anything, and within that period there has just been such a massive growth in myself, personally and as an artist. It felt like it had become a different beast. It didn’t feel like a singer/ songwriter record anymore. ‘R.W Grace’ felt more… I don’t know, it’s not a persona by any means, it’s something that I just grew into. I kind of turn it on when I perform live. I feel like “yeah, that’s me, R.W.” What can fans expect from your live shows with Matt Corby? Most of this EP is completely electronic, with barely any guitar, but for this tour I’ve actually been doing it solo with just an electric guitar. It’s actually been incredible because I was so worried that a) people wouldn’t get the connection or b) I wouldn’t be commanding enough as a solo artist just playing by myself. It has actually been the opposite though, and I have really felt such a strong connection when re-learning how to play the songs on the guitar. It’s really felt like a reconnection to how I felt when I started.

Yevu pop-up stores are running in Sydney from November 27 to January 24 and in Melbourne from December 4 to January 31.

Changing the Game

B Y TA R A SM I T H

Anna Robertson spends 10-hour days in a workshop alongside local seamstresses in Accra, the capital city of Ghana. She’s hard at work creating Yevu’s next range, producing vibrant threads while also generating income for Ghanaians on the poverty line. While Yevu isn’t a charity, it gives locals the opportunity to earn the average Ghanaian annual salary in three months, while also empowering tailors with new skills. On average, a Ghanaian seamstress may get paid around $187 AUD per year. Working with Yevu, that seamstress can earn around $1873 AUD in the same time. This is the difference between a child’s school fees being paid or access to more food and electricity. Anna thought up the idea of a socially responsible label after volunteering for a year as an international aid worker in the area. She was inspired by the vibrant West African wax prints and coupled this with her intent to work with small businesses. “I don’t have any fashion background or anything like that and it was really just born out of the inspiration I saw in the textiles,” she said. Any lack of experience certainly doesn’t show. Anna’s debut collection sold out in one week in Sydney. What makes Yevu a standout is its commitment to social responsibility, providing communities in Ghana with ongoing work and income.

“I love seeing people wearing the product and really enjoying it and seeing it transform." All materials are 100 per cent sourced in Ghana and bought from a wholesale marketplace in Accra, right down to the hardware. Fabrics are then transformed into the pieces that make up the Yevu label, all cut and sewn in the Accra workshop by a team of locals. This is a far cry from the fast-fashion movement, with chain retailers continually driving down prices and increasing production efforts to sell to the masses. “They’re not willing to sacrifice that tiny bit of profit to produce in a more socially responsible way. It’s not like you want them all to be eco warriors saving the entire planet, but to just put small incremental things in place, even labour rights for their workers…it really does baffle me a bit,” Anna said. “Prices are continually being pushed down – I mean you go in there [to chain stores] and buy a t-shirt for $4…'I think how on earth can you buy something that is so cheap?' “The person that’s making this, there’s no way they can be getting paid a decent wage.” Once overhead costs are taken care of, every available cent of Yevu’s profits is reinvested back into the Ghanaian team, to cover everything from fair wages to new textiles.

“I worry a little that it is hard to compete on a price level with the H&Ms and other big brands because they are able to produce so cheaply. But I think that consumers in Melbourne and Sydney have responded to the brand really favourably. They know what they’re buying, they know where it comes from and they know the story behind it. “And because the textiles, the fabrics and the prints are a little different to everything else that’s on the market in terms of the fast-fashion industry, we’re set apart,” she added. This is an integral part of Yevu’s success, as it’s allowed the brand to create a unique identity to compete with the bigger chains. “You’ve really got to develop a business model if you want to run any sort of social enterprise – you’ve got to develop a model that is self sustaining financially which means developing a product that people really want.” Anna has done this well, with the release of Yevu’s fourth collection selling in a frenzy through pop-up stores in Sydney and Melbourne. “I love seeing people wearing the product and really enjoying it and seeing it transform. “Spending so many months doing that [work] and seeing people really enjoying the clothes and the product and the story behind it has been really nice.”

Over and Over You’ll be back in Australia next year for Sugar Mountain. What can we expect from your headline set? It feels like it’s been a while since we’ve been in Australia, so we are really excited to be returning. We will have a new, revised set by then. What you can expect is a dance party atmosphere, which is what we always try to create. Do you think music and fashion are intertwined? How do you think your music reflects your style? I suppose our own music is very eclectic. Our sense of fashion is like that as well, really. Each member of the band has quite a different look. Some dress slightly more classic, while others are more into bolder and playful clothing. I think that is really similar to what is happening in the music. The willingness to let the diversity coexist and be shaped into something more coherent. I read that you and your wife happily share clothes from time to time. Do you think it’s important for our society to have a stronger push towards gender-neutral clothing?

BY MIC H AEL EDNEY

For UK’s Hot Chip, success hasn’t come overnight. Over the past 15 years, these Brits have solidified their style in the alt-dance scene with a fusion of diverse electronic sounds accompanied by introspective lyrics. Now, they are finally returning to Australia for Sugar Mountain, while also playing a couple of headline shows around the country. We sat down with vocalist Alexis Taylor to chat about their sixth studio release Why Make Sense? and the role fashion plays in the music industry.

I find there is an emotional connection to a lot of your songs on this album. Do you feel this is an aspect of Hot Chip’s music that separates you from other artists in similar genres? Where did you seek inspiration for Why Make Sense? Some of the inspiration came from events happening around us. You know, from reading newspapers to watching the TV – things that you can’t really ignore. And some were from direct personal experiences. That’s more from a lyrical side of things. [Sonically] there was inspiration from certain hip hop records, RnB records and also disco music. Inspiration also partly came from just exploring new sounds.

From speaking to people and what you gather from journalists you meet over the years, people are still struck by the fact that there is a kind of lyrical intimacy against a backdrop of quite optimistic and fun pop/disco music. For me, I see quite a lot of examples of that in music, before Hot Chip. I think of records from Donna Summer, New Order or The Beatles where there is a variety of styles and sounds, or a playfulness between what is happening in the words and the music. I don’t particularly think we are unusual for doing it, but maybe the way that we do it, the tone of it, is our own.

I have never really had that strong feeling of wanting to make other people dress in a particular way or consider things being better if they’re gender neutral. I suppose bringing up our own child we were quite anti-stereotyping in terms of clothing, you know like pink clothing for girls and blue clothing for boys. So yeah, in our own small world we were trying to make things more gender neutral. In terms of what I wear, I wouldn’t say I am a cross-dresser as such, but I do share things with my wife and vice-versa. What is it like being a musician now in 2015 with a family, compared to say 10 years ago after your full-length debut? The main thing that drives me is the enjoyment of making records and the determination to make new records. That hasn’t changed, luckily. Having a family changes things in massive ways, but we have been lucky enough to be able to include our family as part of the touring lifestyle. Of course it is different now, but there are things that stay the same, and predominately that is a desire to try and make something new in each record. The writing and the recording processes, and that feeling of excitement when you first come up with the beginnings of a new song idea, that feeling hasn’t changed since I was 12 years old. Hot Chip are perfoming at Sugar Mountain and touring nationally throughout January 2016. For tour dates visit frontiertouring.com

FJ INTERVIEW

The Sweetest Thing Prue Stent, Clare Longley and Honey Longâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repertoire extends across photography, collage, sculpture, illustration and painting. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty impressive for three girls in their early twenties. Known for their immersive works, the trio are teaming up for the first time this summer. Sugar Mountain, a summit of music and art, will see Prue, Clare and Honey present an explorative exhibition. With their collective work being described as 'sexual, surreal, sensual and strange,' this is going to be one interesting experience. We met up with Clare during her Sugar Mountain preparations to chat art, feminism and the festival.

BY V ERONICA S TA N FO R D

INTERVIEW

You can see Clare, Prue and Honey’s work at Sugar Mountain, Saturday January 23 2016. sugarmountainfestival.com

How did you ladies first meet? Prue and Honey have known each other since high school, and Prue and I have known each other for four years. We’ve never really worked together as a trio. When Pete from Sugar Mountain approached Prue to see if she wanted to do something, it was a natural thing for us to finally all do something together. You and Prue recently worked together on her photographic series, 'Pink'... Yeah, I did a bunch of the photos with her, although it was solely her project. The way we naturally always work is that it’s kind of just hanging out and taking photos together. A lot of people say the art you ladies create is heavily feminist in style and message. Is that something you consciously try to put in your work? I guess that comes up quite a bit. I think that [feminism] is one of the things that makes us friends, in a way, and influences our work a lot. We are all interested in the way females are existing and adapting to the world around us. I think this is really important to us – it naturally comes out in our work. It’s more of an investigation into the female body and relationships with other cultures and the environment.

How did you become interested in the creative arts?

Have you faced any challenges being a female in the creative industry?

Personally, it has always been something that I have grown up doing. My parents are both quite creative. Growing up I was going to exhibitions, making things and being quite physical, not only creatively, but just being in the world and learning about things. I guess speaking for Honey and Prue, it’s not too different. Prue has been taking photos since she was very young on disposable cameras, and things like that. I think for us, it’s a way of interpreting the world and processing it. Especially when trying to figure out what you think of the world around you and your place in it. It’s good to be able to share that.

I didn’t leave school that long ago and one thing that we discussed a lot was whether artists’ work is gendered or not. People think it’s not ideal if you can [tell the gender of the artist]. I guess mine, and also Honey and Prue’s work, can be quite gendered. That is a challenge, just because you make what comes naturally to you and you don’t want to fake it. I guess for all three of us, the female body and female form is a natural influence on our work.

What can punters at Sugar Mountain expect from your exhibition? For Sugar Mountain we wanted to find a way to combine all our ideas together. Without giving too much away, it will be an exhibition involving photography, painting, collage and some sculptural elements. It’s to do with the nervous system and the way that your body isn’t just what’s external. It’s more to do with bodily functions – blushing when you are embarrassed, getting sweaty palms when you are nervous. It’s an exploration of the internal, I guess.

I know it is kind of trendy to make feminist work at this point in time, but it is important, because you experience it. If being a female is a challenge, I don’t think that would be a negative thing for us, I think it would maybe be an inspiration. Can we expect the three of you to collaborate again after Sugar Mountain? Absolutely. I think we’ll continue to work together. Hopefully it continues to evolve and can be something that we keep doing together. We are also looking at re-using the work and perhaps having another exhibition, just so as many people as possible get to see it. Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully (laughs).

HOW TO BE A GRRRL

THE RAP YEAR BOOK

PARISIAN CHIC CITY GUIDE

Lucy van Pelt Schulz

Shea Serrano

Ines de la Fressange with Sophie Gachet

I think Lucy Van Pelt may be my spirit animal. Only with a much shorter temper. Being of an age where I missed the Peanuts bandwagon, I never realised that Lucy was more than just a crabby, bossy girl. Turns out she's a long-time feminist. Which is why I found How to be a Grrrl kind of nice. With seven short illustrative chapters, it outlines seven clear instructions on how to be a girl, Lucy style. The messages are strong, with chapters like "fight for what you believe in," but I found the book to be a little skinny. It's probably the point – cartoons are inherently short, sharp and without further explanation – but even a foreword would have added a lot. A nice (albeit quick) read.

Sometimes you find a book that appeals to you straight away. The title is snappy, the cover is bright and the content promised looks to be right up your alley. This formula once led me to buy a book titled It Looks like a C*ck, so it doesn’t alway work out. But in some rare cases, it can add up to a quality read. Enter The Rap Year Book. Emblazoned with illustrations of rap legends and with foreword by Ice-T, its pick up game is strong. It’s also extremely well written and injected with a sharp wit. The result is an intelligent, insightful and introspective look at the history of rap that won’t result in you texting pics of phallic mushrooms to your friends. Bonus points.

Travel guides are antiquated. There, I said it. With unlimited travel info available at the behest of a Wi-Fi password, and luggage allowance a precious commodity, carrying a travel guide can be a burden. But when your travel guide is by Ines de la Fressange, one can obviously make an exception. Following the best selling Parisian Chic, Parisian Chic City Guide is a curation of the very best salons, stores, cafés, bars and hidden gems that Paris has to offer. Recommendations are grouped by arrondissement, with an accompanying one-liner explaining why it’s worth the trip. In true Ines style, it’s a masterful mix of high and low price points that only the fashion elite do best.

ALBUM REVIEWS ART ANGELS

PRODUCT

Grimes

SOPHIE

Grimes has long stood in the middle of the increasingly tiresome battle between the indie and pop scenes. The success of her last album Visions only added fuel to the fire, as us indie kids scratched our heads and asked "are we allowed to like this?" Art Angels shows Grimes clearly and boldly taking a leap over the to the pop side. The bouncy, summery guitar of the opening bars of 'California' make this clear. Grimes' voice is also no longer shrouded under echo and distortion – it's pushed to the front of the mix. These are catchy pop melodies and she wants to make sure you hear that. Fans of her older material will still find some consolation in the meticulous production work put into the record. She's still a pro at fitting a ridiculous number of synths and drum patterns into every track. If you're still wondering whether it's OK to like Grimes, it might be time for you to embrace the pop side of life.

So, let's talk about PC Music. You may have heard about the label/genre through the blogosphere. Taste-makers have long pinned them as the next big pop trend. The thing about PC Music is, it's actually pretty hard to listen to. SOPHIE strips almost all the excess from modern dance, serving you the brittle remains with an extra layer of sugar on top. It's minimalist pop that blends its most commercial aspects with some of the most discomforting. The melodies are insanely catchy, but they ride alongside abrasive, artificial synths. There's something totally unnerving and unnatural about it all. Somehow though, I've listened to almost nothing but SOPHIE and other PC Music for the last month. Even 'VYZEE', which I'm certain might actually just be distorted fart noises. If PRODUCT is, in fact, a comment on modern commercialism, they've somehow got me hook, line and sinker.

THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM DELUXE EDITION Human Nature

Trawling through Human Nature's Wikipedia page (as I have, admittedly, not kept quite up to date with their career movements) I was shocked to learn that they haven't actually just been releasing Christmas albums annually for the past decade. The Christmas Album Deluxe Edition is actually a re-release that bundles four new tracks onto an already solid collection of Yuletide covers. Musical snobbery aside, Human Nature do know their way around a four-part harmony and it's hard to stay grinch-y by the time 'Silent Night' kicks in. The re-issue also adds a duet with another Australian supermarket favourite, Delta Goodrem, that sounds exactly like you'd expect it to. Destined to be the soundtrack to your last minute runs to Myer to find that unoffensive gift for the relative you don't quite know well enough, just think it could've been much worse. It could've been Nikki Webster.

SCEN ERY

Out & About Paradise Music Festival Once again, the scenic Lake Mountain Alpine Resort was transformed into a hub for all things local music, as boutique music festival Paradise came and conquered. With a line-up boasting the talents of Tired Lion, Lurch & Chief, Dorsal Fins and more, the third instalment of the festival was as good as ever. Set among the eerie white Victorian alpine forest, Paradise 2016 was filled with great tunes, picturesque scenery and incredible street style. Lucky for you, we caught it all on camera. paradisemusic.com.au
