Sand on Seven, Not From There's debut album, came out on Koolarrow in September 1998, and it sounds like a band that had knocked around for years before anyone paid attention. The trio had started in London in 1991, Austrian-born singer and guitarist Heinz Riegler teaming up with Australian drummer Simon Lambert and bassist Anthony Hills, before decamping to Brisbane the following year.
What they built there is indie rock with a sandpaper finish: grinding bass lines, fuzzed-up guitar riffs and the odd dub or sample stirred in for good measure. Riegler sings "Sich Öffnen" and "Abgedroschen" entirely in his native German, and "Sich Öffnen" still found its way onto Triple J's Hottest 100. The album took home an ARIA Award in 1999, not bad for a record that sounds this gloriously abrasive.
