Yes kids, Young Heretics are back with a whimsically theatrical new video for ‘Risk/Loss’, the first single off their debut album We Are the Lost Loves. The video tracks the duo as they venture through Melbourne’s  laneways, float over building tops and dine amidst floating silver ticker-tape. The video is the brainchild of director James Lawler and producer Nick Grimsdale of Doomsday Films.

Young Heretics are hitting the road on a national album launch tour, kicking off in Sydney next week.

cutler and co

On a recent trip to Melbourne this Kluster writer happily indulged in a meal at the Good Food Guide hatted restaurant (two to be exact), Cutler and Co.

Located in the bohemian suburb of Fitzroy, Cutler and Co's dining room combines comfort with familiarity and understated sophistication. Inside the long, gently lit room a semi-open wine store holds more than 1300 bottles. Considering the breadth of their selection it stands to reason that the role of sommelier at Cutler & Co would be filled by an individual who is suitably confident across a range of vino. The aforementioned individual, Sally Humble, was appropriately knowledgeable and accommodating in helping us choose a bottle of Alsace Riesling to accompany our eight course Chef's degustation.

The combination of flavours was generally quite traditional (think: duck with plum), it is the execution that makes this dining experience exciting. Executive chef Andrew McConnell combines high-quality produce to create a multitude of textures in his dishes. Layering taste-upon-taste to create a range of delicately balanced dishes. More...
