Erthlings - Bridges [1B] (2018)

Heard about this relatively new Australian all-female Psych/Rock band on the latest episode of Sound Opinions. 

I say *relatively* new because the 4 members of this band started playing together when they were 8 years old. And they are all 16 now I guess.

I guess the reason I'm sharing this is largely due to how their sound reminds me enough of Warpaint; and even say Black Belt Eagle Scout and Genders (Katherine Paul's music).

But this song/video "Bridges" is just their debut single. Dreamy and melodic enough to have my attention. I'm pretty curious what they do next. Debut EP and/or album maybe in 2019?

I mean if they have been playing together since 2010, I wonder if they have refined their sound and have songs that they have worked on for quite awhile, which may come out all the better given they may have been 1st written many years ago.

REACT TO: Sound Opinions One-and-Done Podcast (1 album only artists)

http://soundopinions.org/show/589

So Sound Opinions did a neat themed-show this past week about One-and-Done or 1-album and then the artist/band never made a full length album again.

I want/wanted to find the time to write about many of these, but alas, I'm in the middle of about 3 or 15 projects not involving Music/Entertainment (Taxes, a Car accident, etc), and not enough time to go into detail about so many of these. Many of them are all-time favorites, but this is not exactly a full ranking, other than maybe the 1st 4-5, or so.

But all of these albums I do enjoy and find quite to as I said, all-time favorites.

And a reunion album of any kind from any of them would be totally welcome and something I would certainly get excited about.

Maybe, but unlikely more later. But they'll show up in this blog of course in many other entries. Namely the Calendar Year Chronologies and Rankings I've been doing.

Electromagnets - Electromagnets (1975)
they don't qualify as they recorded a reunion album in 2005, but they most definitely would have before then. Eric Johnson's featured jazz-fusion band in the mid 70's. A very enjoyable record.

Bands with 1 album under said name, but then later changed their band to a different name. Not exactly qualifying. Although technically Call Florence Pow/Apes and Androids falls under this one as well.
