Stone Pixels Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Melbourne-based four-piece Intermood deliver a high-voltage debut with this new release on Stone Pixels Records, blending psychedelic jazz with a sharp-edged neo-disco pulse built for movement. Since forming in 2022, they've carved out a reputation for wild, tightly executed live sets across Naarm's instrumental and dance scenes i and that same energy translates here in full. Across the EP, drums hit hard, synths stretch wide, and the rhythm section locks in with a kind of precision that still feels alive and flexible. There's a lot going on i cosmic pads, deep groove workouts, moments of near-fusion chaos i but it's all tied together by a shared commitment to the dancefloor. It's a first release that feels remarkably assured, pulling in threads from jazz, club music and psychedelia without losing its centre. If you're into Ezra Collective with a heavier motorik drive, or 70s jazz fusion reimagined for the 4am crowd, this one's essential.
