News: The triumphant return of Fazerdaze sees announcement of EP through section1/Flying Nun Records, the unveiling of cathartic title track ‘Break!’ and short documentary exploring her wilderness years.
Last month’s return of the magnificent Fazerdaze (the brilliant work of singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Amelia Murray) with the single ‘Come Apart was enough to thrill anyone’s heart (see my review here). Now to add an irreducible burnish to a darkened world, Fazerdaze has just announced the release of an EP, ‘Break!’, through section 1/Flying Nun Records. To …
Track: The legendary The Church return with new single, title track to forthcoming album ’The Hypnogogue’, ahead of Australian tour.
It’s been a while since The Church graced us with their ethereal presence, although main man Steve Kilbey has not been resting on his laurels by any means, having released a swathe of stunning material on his own and through collaborations with Martin Kennedy (All India Radio) and Glenn Bennie (Underground Lovers) over the last …
Premiere: nipaluna/Hobart’s Verticoli land an elegant atmospheric post punk catch with their new single ‘Sailor’, and announce launch gigs ahead of album news.
We are honoured to premiere the new single ‘Sailor’ from nipaluna/Hobart trio Verticoli: an atmospheric enigmatic gem that sparkles intensely with a slow burning fuse. It has the driving energy and poise of something by The National with an ominous edge redolent of Interpol, Nirvana or early The Cure: a guitar driven undercurrent with yearning …
Track: Mess Esque unveil new track ‘Armour Your Armor’ as they bring their frail and beautiful sound to the world on tour.
Last year’s magnificent self-titled album from Mess Esque was for me one of the stand out releases of the year, and recognition of the duo’s stature and the album’s imperial majesty resulted in them embarking on a world-wide adventure in the US and, currently in Europe, supporting Kurt Vile. In the midst of this, the …

We are pleased to see the return of the vintage-tinged dream pop shimmer of Sydney duo Salarymen with their deceptively sunshine filled single ‘Young Guns’. The single is a first taste of their sophomore EP due out October 20, and comes as the duo announce international shows in Japan for November 2022. The dual vocals …
Premiere: Melbourne’s INSTYNKT take us on a rocking, anthemic ‘Ride’ and announce single launch date.
We are pleased to premiere the video for the track ‘Ride’ from Melbourne band INSTYNKT. ‘Ride’ is a powerful guitar-driven track that resonates with a pop sensibility while setting a blistering pace. At heart is the kind of pure rock’n’roll filled with blood sweat and tears that used to form the mainstay of Australian pub …
Track: Sydney songwriter Laura Jean releases the pure pop exuberance of ‘Too Much To Do’ off forthcoming album ‘Amateurs’.
Visceral sweeping strings and piano droplets form the hyperkinetic base to the new single ‘Too Much To Do’ from Sydney songwriter Laura Jean. The track is organic and sprightly, trotting along with a pop verve and effervescence carried by a liquid, serpentine bass line – a glorious, shimmering delivery. Jean says of the track: This …
Track: The National release gorgeous new track ‘Weird Goodbyes’ featuring Bon Iver.
Indie legends The National have just released a gorgeous new single ‘Weird Goodbyes’ through 4AD/Remote Control Records featuring the vocals of Bon Iver (Justin Vernon).

Track: Darren Hayes Announces New Track Off Upcoming Album
Darren Hayes’ new track ‘All You Pretty Things’ is an irresistible dance floor anthem.
Track: Full Power Happy Hour’s ‘Measurements’ takes a walk on the wild west side ahead of new album and tour.
Brisbane’s effervescent Full Power Happy Hour have stored their Doc Martens in a shoebox, pulled on a pair of cowboy boots matched with a checked shirt and boot-scooted their way into our ears with the country-tinged twang of ‘Measurements’, their new single. And, for me, it’s the good sort of countrified swing epitomised by the …
