"From out of nowhere -- if nowhere is the febrile, warped and twilit imagination of
Julia McFarlane
--comes
Whoopee
, the second album by
J. McFarlane's Reality Guest
.
Whoopee
is an esoteric, kaleidoscopic movie in music form directed by Julia McFarlane and co-conspirator
Thomas Kernot
. Full of life, breakbeats and smokey vignettes on the fragile nature of interpersonal relationships,
Whoopee
is a stylistic evolution from everything McFarlane has done before. Surreal, beautiful in parts and replete with the aching wisdom McFarlane's songwriting has always promised, this Reality Guest pulls back the curtain on a whole scene of naked truth. Recorded in Melbourne in bursts since the release of 2019's
Ta Da
,
Whoopee
features a new sound palette and band member in Kernot. The duo dive deep into electronic pop tropes, mining digital synths, samples, breakbeats and deep bass grooves, largely dispensing with live instrumentation. If
Ta Da
took twists and turns with your expectations, offering a Dada-ist, monochromatic take on pop music,
Whoopee
is McFarlane's subterranean love-sick pinks, reds, greens, purples and blues.
Whoopee
is both more accessible than previous Reality Guest work and somehow more obfuscated. Where the production on
Ta Da
was dry, sharp and strange, this Reality Guest is blurred, almost smeared with the effluvium of '90s/'00s culture and existence. Through it all, it's hard to deny the undeniable pull of the songs."
