You might not know that Coober Pedy is an opal-rich town buried deep within the red and arid outback of South Australia. Lewie Day (aka Tornado Wallace) and Tom Moore may be from Melbourne, but the duo make up the Coober Pedy University Band, coining the term 'Krautback' to describe this "Moon Plain EP". Drawing upon Italo synths and mid-tempo Balearica as inspiration, the first release comes in 10" form via Soft Rocks' Kinfolk label. The reverb washed Australian crooner Chet Faker appears on the title track "Moon Plain" alongside heavy struck piano chords, while "Sentenced Beyond The Seas" is a flow of groggy atmospheres and downtempo beats. "Oblong" is the the EP's stand out Italo track with short bass arpeggios a highlight, while Soft Rocks tip their hat to Hardfloor's acid house of old with their "Acperience" mix of "Moon Plain" which takes on an acidic and space western theme.

When Joe breathes new life onto a track, it becomes a spiritual journey through the texture of sounds and the imagination of the bodies swaying through the motions and sweat of unification of sound! This is that unification, learn and listen! DJ Angel B! aka: Soulfrica
