One of our favourite antipodean artists here at the southern outpost of Backseat Mafia is the prodigious YAGKI, the nome de plume for Sarah Yagki, and she has just released the exquisite single ‘Just Like A Ghost’ – an ethereal dreamy track that highlights her gorgeous silken vocals and gift for anthemic gems. Threaded through …
Track: The venerable Youth Group return with a new direction in the blazing single ‘Siberia’ as they continue live tour.
It’s been nearly five years since Youth Group blessed us with new material with their brilliant album ‘Australian Halloween’ (see my review here), and even that album broke a ten year drought.

Well, to prove this was no sonic accident, they have just unleashed a new track ‘Colorado’ into the universe and …
Track: Eora/Sydney-based producer and vocalist Skeleten unveils the luscious sounds of soul pop single ‘Deep Scene’.
I caught Skeleten live a few years ago at Altar in Hobart and was highly impressed by his soul inflected brand of pop – rich and nuanced music that had a magnetic presence on stage. His new single proves the point. ‘Deep Scene’ is as immersive and enveloping as a hot tub in the winter …
Track: The glorious Nagging Doubts experience a little ‘Panic Growth’: an exciting tumultuous maelstrom of refined chaos.
The light of Sydney indie band The Nagging Doubts has been too long hidden under a bushel.

Album Review: The Aerial Maps share the visceral beauty and graceful sounds of ‘Our Sunburn Dream’.
Sydney supergroup The Aerial Maps have just released their new album, ‘Our Sunburnt Dream’ and it is clearly business as usual for these purveyors of shimmering and eloquent antipodean sunshine.

New kids on the block, Sydney band Postcards From Pluto sparkle with a sprightly effervescence in their second ever single ‘What Do You Wear’.

Track: It takes ‘Seven Days’ for The Lovetones to spread a little spaghetti western joy.
Perennial favourites here at the antipodean outpost of Backseat Mafia, the glorious The Lovetones are back in the saddle with an intriguing new single ‘Seven Days’ that seems to stash a little Ennio Morricone in its genetic code, with just a touch of oriental exotica also detectable. Matt Tow’s sonorous, thundering vocals are leavened by …
