Black Lakes are one of my favourite indie rock groups from Down Under. The band comes from Sydney and consists of identical twin brothers Stephen (vocal, bass) and David (drums) Kelly, along with Brenton Freeman (guitar, synth) and Phil Shingles (guitar). They debuted last September with the EP "Only For The Woods", released independently as part of a double EP release with the second, "Trick Hotel" due for release on May 3, 2013.

Initially inspired by the classic Australian rock (The Church, Paul Kelly) and more recently the American Psych Alt-Country scene (The War On Drugs, My Morning Jacket), Black Lakes deliver a pioneering dive into the Indie Psych/West sound.

"Spit Shine Shoes" is the leading single of "Trick Hotel": watch the official video (the first for the band) clicking on the frame above, read a nice interview to video director Sam Egan here and download the single for free on SoundCloud now!
