\"\"The Goon Sax gives us perfectly awkward indie pop on their sophomore release, \u201cWe\u2019re Not Talking.\u201d Wichita Recordings released this Brisbane guitar pop album on September 14th.<\/p>\n

James Harrison, Riley Jones, and Louis Forster have grown up since their first release, \u201cUp To Anything.\u201d Two years passed and the gang graduated from high school. The monumental transition that is 17 to 19 brings out a more reflective side from the band. On \u201cStrange Light,\u201d Riley sings \u201cthought I was in love with the first boy I ever really saw.\u201d Her talk-singing style makes these young adult realizations extremely relatable and makes the whole album feel more personable.<\/p>\n

The first single released, \u201cShe Knows,\u201d reflects the bands do-it-yourself style. They are human, and they learn as they go. The fast nature of this song has required them to practice a lot in order to strum fast enough with minimal string breakage. The next track, \u201cLosing Myself\u2019s\u201d chorus of \u201clooking at my bank account \/ and I’m feeling lonely \/ cause I got no money\u201d felt extremely relatable to my college-student self. Other notable tracks include \u201cMake Time 4 Love\u201d and \u201cLove Lost,\u201d make sure you stick around for the bridge on the latter, it is to die for.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no reason not to be talking about this release. In the Land Down Under, the phrase \u201cgoon sack\u201d refers to a silver plastic bag of booze within a wine box, a symbol of youth. So grab some cheap wine, some friends, and sip on the latest Goon Sax release.
