Runner Up: NAIK - In The Shadow of Thunder Mountain
The Middle East are a unique and somewhat mysterious band from Townsville, Queensland. They engage in very little promotional work, which adds to their mystique. In 2009 they released an EP of previous work to wider circulation, entitled "The Recordings of the Middle East".
Their sound is quite hard to pigeon-hole, though could possibly roughly be described as "post-folk", although this tag does not really do them justice. Fans of alternative rock in general should get a kick out of this release, which is made up of nothing but hauntingly beautiful tracks.
These guys are destined for big things.
