About: Kinematic (band)

Property	Value
dbo:abstract	Kinematic are an Australia-based four-piece indie pop band formed in 2002. Originally an acoustic duo of Gordon Clarke (ex Snorkel) on guitar and vocals and Michael Owen (ex Aspirin) on vocals and guitar formed in 2000; they were joined by Gordon's brother, Michael Clarke, on bass guitar and backing vocals and Mark Olszewski on drums (both ex-Aspirin). Kinematic have diverse musical influences including Sparklehorse, Wilco, and The Beatles. They recorded their debut album, Time & Place, in November 2004 and released it on the Somersault Music label, based in Rye. They had used a country house in Gippsland, which was described by Michael Clarke as "a mud brick place on 40 acres of bush... We worked for 10 days straight. We just picked the best places for each instrument in the house, and we were lucky because there was heaps of space, high ceilings and this reverb — a really natural sound." Time & Place was mastered by François Tétaz. It was launched at the Corner Hotel, Melbourne on 9 October 2005. The band's second album, The 38th Parallel, was issued in April 2007. Progressive Broadcasting Service's reviewer felt it "traverses the array of musical styles that Kinematic love to plunder – be it Cash-tinged country or Sparklehorse-like trashy power pop – while always maintaining their unique sensibility for simple, stripped-back and singable pop tunes." The group had released a single, "Love and Graffiti", in July 2006, which is an "infectious" example of "their penchant for melancholic melody, but with a darker twist." The band's third album, Kites, was released in 2009 and features Jimi Hocking playing guitar on the track 'Beat Poetry'. Kites features a more diverse song list, described as "some really satisfying breadth" by Bernard Zuel. Gordon and Owen were featured on 774 ABC Melbourne's evening program with Lindy Burns in October 2014, playing two songs live. Kinematic recorded a live performance for a forthcoming DVD/CD release "Kinematic: Live at Bakehouse". at Bakehouse Studios, Melbourne in March 2017. The DVD/CD was launched in Melbourne in 2019.
