A twisted sense of magic seeps through the music of Sydney electronic trio Gift Exchange. It’s like a brooding storm cloud swirling with sounds ranging from punk to operatic. Comprised of vocalist Madison Scott, guitarist Jaime Krausmann and producer Eduardo Bianchino, the group is self proclaimed ‘witch-house/drag/goth’ outfit.

Though Sydney electronic artist Verna Bloom exchanged her place in the ever-exciting Melbourne punk scene for a journey as a solo producer and performer, her instrument of choice – the Yamaha Reface CS – remains the core of her distinctive, weightless and weary sound.
