The Presets Biography
The Presets are a pair of avant-garde Aussies who, while forging a
musical path that wouldn't be unfamiliar to acts like Daft Punk, Nine
Inch Nails, and the Faint, don't mind dragging disco along for the
ride. Julian Hamilton (production, keyboards, vocals) and Kimberley
Moyes (production, drums, programming) met in the early '90s as
students at Sydney's Conservatorium of Music. Both were there to study
classical music, but as they delved into the great composers, neither
could forget an extracurricular love of '80s pop: the Smiths, Pet Shop
Boys, Bjork, New Order. So instead of abandoning their passion for
music's lighter side, they bonded over it, composing music at school by
day and dancing to acid house by night. Eventually, they joined the
band Prop together, cranking out several albums of experimental
instrumental music that won them critical plaudits across Australia.
The Presets were born as an offshoot of Prop -- when Hamilton and Moyes
wanted to remix a track with harder electronic edges, they did so under
the Presets moniker.
In 2003, with a distinctively spiky disco-dipped sound and several
years of collaboration boosting them, they released a demo; the
influential Aussie label Modular wasted no time adding the Presets to
its roster. A first EP, the relatively hard-driving Blow Up, featuring
guitar work from Silverchair's Daniel Johns, arrived the same year as
the duo first hit the Australian stage circuit. In 2004, the mellower
Girl and the Sea, whose title track was featured on the TV show The
O.C., was released, and 2005's Down Down Down, the disc that
established the Presets as a band worthy of Euro buzz, followed. With
momentum on their side, the Presets also released Beams in Australia in
2005; in April of 2006, a month after it found favor with
electro-freak-loving British fans, Beams lit a path into U.S. record
stores. ~ Tammy La Gorce, All Music Guide
