Artist Profile: Abbe May

When it comes to Australia's musical exports, pop divas like Kylie Minogue and Olivia Newton-John come to mind. However a new voice has risen, and its owner, Abbe May, couldn't be further from the world of dance pop. Tracks like "We Had A Real Good Time Togetherrr," and "Hawaiian Disease," full of primal, sexual energy, prove she can go toe to toe with the boys. Meanwhile oddball cuts like the goth-blues of "Jesus Gonna Be Here," and new single "Mammalian Locomotion," with its strange-but-instantly-catchy vocal melody and slow, plodding guitars, reveal Abbe May to a unique presence in the rock world. Listen to a few tracks below:

Vid Pick: Abbe May "Mammalian Locomotion"

According to Abbe May, the video clip for the Australian rocker's new single is designed to be "a reflection of the contradictory elements of fierceness and subtle femininity found in the song." These different elements take the form of three roller-blading women, while Abbe takes to the streets on a bike. It's pretty obvious who represents the fierceness and who symbolizes subtlety, but I'll let you be the judge.
