Reagan Forsythe
Reigning Sound - “Funny Thing” “I'm an old cop,” he said, putting out his cigarette. “It's in my blood, I can't help it. I just want to protect you.” The upholstery of the sofa looked like a big patterned joke and his teeth clicked as he swallowed. His daughter, Louisa, stood with her arms hanging limp at her sides, like knotty ropes hanging from her summer dress. “We're moving anyway, what does it matter about this boy?” She stared darkly at the floor, with her hair pulled back and her lips tight. That's exactly why he's important, because we're moving. She thought her father was very practiced at smoking, and that one day she would probably be as good at it. [Buy]

When last we spoke to an Australian artist we found him to be tall. Allow us now to turn the format on its head and speak to an opposite-sized person named Yeo.
Mazes – Bowie Knife 7″
“Bowie Knife” b/w “Bethesda, I’m A Smoker”
Out now on Sex Is Disgusting Records
Mazes – “Bowie Knife” I first wrote about Mazes back in February, and I still think this is a great song. Now, I know this is getting to be a common refrain these days, but you really need to grab a copy of this ASAP. It’s limited to 250 copies and is almost certain to sell out quickly.
(Disambiguation: FYI, this is the UK-based band Mazes– but there is also a Chicago band called Mazes.)
