See: Pond bathe in a luxurious bacchanalia with their video for the fresh track ‘Toast’, and announce a new album ‘9’ plus tour news.
Pond‘s new single ‘Toast’ is a warm and louche slice of psychedelia: replete with a laid back swagger with a tongue planted firmly in the cheek, a twinkle in the eye and a wry, sardonic grin. And yet it bears a serious message about class divide in times of emergency. It also comes bearing news …
Track: Marveline’s pop sensibilities and inherent whimsy are on display in the delightful new single ‘Fly By Instruments’
Last year we shone a bright light on the debut album ‘Savoury-toothed Tiger‘ from Sydney go-to musician Pete Marley’s outfit Marveline, calling it: …a pocketful of pure pop, with some sunshine and humour for the age of isolation and yet leavened by darker observations and the odd touch of melancholia. It was a buoyant piece …

Spacey Jane have been developing quite a reputation in Australia since their debut album ‘Sunlight’ was released last year, and on the basis of their new track ‘Lots of Nothing’, you can see something intergalactic on the boil. ‘Lots of Nothing’ is a blissed out jangling sparkling beauty of a track filled with yearning and …
Premiere: Man Without Country unveil mysterious and pulsating video for the enigmatic electro track ‘Ultra-Nightmare’
Welsh-native producer and vocalist Ryan A. James is Man Without Country: a project that sees a perfect marriage between James’s soft expressive vocals and layers of electronic synths that bubble and move like a geyser about to explode.

Track: Crash and the Crapenters declare ‘You Can Write Me Off’ with a sneer: another cathartic and vitriolic delight from the Melbourne punks
The band whose name makes you look twice, then twice again, makes a welcome return wearing their signature sneer and disdain for the 1 per cent of the world.

Meet: Voye talks about the new single, the beautifully evocative ‘Paint’ featuring Matilda Duncan
Hailing from Townsville in far north Queensland, Voye‘s new single ‘Paint’, featuring singer Matilda Duncan, is imbued with a reflective and sunlit tropical sheen. Yearning, harmonising vocals and rippling soft guitars create something quite luminescent. Voye is essentially the solo work of Shemah Appleton, and he says of the track: ‘Paint’ is a song about …
Track: Colleen Green unveils the cool and witty track ‘I Wanna Be A Dog’ and announces the release of the fittingly titled album ‘Cool’ for September
With an innate cool guitar driven bop, the new single by Colleen Green is an absolute joy. A simple three chord buzzing guitar rhythm, driving drums and a rousing chorus deliver a low-fi gem. Think of the vibe of a sixties jam and an nineties sensibility – The Ronettes meets The Breeders and The Raveonettes. …
