Perth-born, Naarm-based duo
Special Feelings
, aka
Naomi Robinson
and
Poli-Pearl
, are stepping up on
Bradley Zero
's Rhythm Section label with their first LP. Across its nine tracks,
Special Feelings
combines the electrically improvisational feel of live performances, with snappy broken beat-esque percussions and house-inspired looping synth hooks. Tapping into the infectious collaborative spirit of Naarm's jazz community, Special Feelings are joined by a crew of the city's rising artists. Early iterations of Special Feelings' music drew on psychedelic sun-dappled rock, with Naomi playing guitar and singing alongside Poli-Pearl on the drums. Over the years, this has shapeshifted into Naomi on bass and rhythms, with Poli-Pearl helming synths and keys -- rooted in the sounds of Perth's and London's jazz of the moment, intertwined with
Brainfeeder
-nodding electronica. Today, Special Feelings' influences span from the deep grooves of
Moodymann
to the freewheeling horns of
Emma Jean Thackray
to the stepping drums of
Kaidi Thatham
, and beyond. Both Naomi and Poli-Pearl are self-taught multiinstrumentalists and producers; Naomi got her start playing in high school dream pop bands, before moving to Naarm to immerse herself in its musical communities, and study classical guitar at the University of Melbourne.
