Melbourne DIY/shimmer-pop 5-piece in the vein of the Feelies, the Vaselines, and the Clean. Limited pressing of 500 copies worldwide with printed inner sleeve and download card. Recorded by Alex Macfarlane and mastered by Mikey Young. Season 2 formed in late 2024, bringing together seasoned Melbourne musicians with previous and current projects including Parsnip, The Stroppies, and Phil and the Tiles. The five piece, comprising Carolyn Hawkins, Claudia Serfaty, Charlotte Zarb, Freya McLeod, and Matt Powell, quickly set to work writing winsome, DIY, shimmer-pop hits that careen through your mind in a gratifying dizzy rush. With a clear collective vision and little time to waste, Season 2 spent 2025 writing and recording, appearing live only a handful of times. Finally the band are primed for their debut release, a full-length album entitled Power of Now. Power of Now is a cerebral explosion of melody, hooks, drones and rhythm. In the vein of The Feelies, The Vaselines and The Clean, Season 2 have whipped up a sonic whirlwind. It's a giddy thrill of snappy slap, catchy gang vocals and crystalline guitar refrains. "Abundance of Power" is a bittersweet bop of ponderous bass, crisp chord flashes and grounded vocals that dwell on slighted futures and bored realities. "Becomes a Dream" is a delirious race of scrappy strumming and flying phrases that unsettle as much as they pinball endorphins. Season 2 do sparky well, their songs are instant rewards, tunnelling into your subconscious and testing the dance floor. They keep everything moving, the beat and the conversation. Season 2 sound barely controlled and all the better for it, you have no choice but to be swept up. Power of Now was recorded by Alex Macfarlane (The Green Child, Chateau) and mastered by Mikey Young.
