New Music

The Jezabels have been well and truly Sydney based lately; putting up at The Lansdowne hotel for a residency that has seen them play seven gigs back to back for eager local crowds. In amongst all the hype, the band has released a brand new music video for their tune “The Others”, the first release from…

Adelaide’s Timberwolf has been shining over the last year, becoming a steadfast favourite on the Australian tour circuit, while his music has continued to develop and display different facets of Chris Panousakis‘ artistry. He’s gone from evocative broodiness to confidently melodic and buoyant as he looks ahead to the follow up record from 2015’s Flux EP and well, we’re…

Melbourne’s Tempus Sun have been attacking 2017 confidently after what was an impressive 2016. Taking out the Melbourne Music Bank initiative for last year and since then, making more of a presence for themselves on the local scene, the group have released their self-titled debut EP today! The music these guys exude is euphoric and rich…

Taking a galactic approach, Sydney’s Gaspar Sanz  bring us their new music video for “Watch You Go”. Taken from the band’s self-titled debut EP, the song itself builds on great electronic production, while the guitar and vocals highlight the same type of swag bands like The Delta Riggs inspire. The clip itself screens like an old…

I’ve been watching a lot of Twin Peaks recently, and my first reaction to the opening scenes of the new Black Lips music video was that this could easily be cut from The Roadhouse at the end of one of Lynch’s new episodes. Anyway, I digress. “Crystal Night” sees its visual narrative take place at some kind…

Melbourne’s Patrick Wilson is fast forming for himself a well-deserved reputation for being a wonderful storyteller through his music. He weaves Americana in with indie, applies lashings of groove and steeps it all in undeniable soul. With a new EP in Anywhere With a Rooftop due out on September 22nd, more people are set to hear what…

Greta Stanley is an artist who, admittedly, passed under our radar somewhat last year. Her debut EP Bedroom City is one that has really flourished, in my opinion, in the time since its release and with her new single “Spin Around”, Stanley has really captured my attention. What I love about Greta is that you can…

Toronto’s Alvvays are gearing up to release their second album, Antisocialites, one that hasn’t been without a considerable amount of hype. We’ve already heard (and dug) “In Undertow” and “Dreams Tonite”; this week, we’ve gotten a new dose of Antisocialites in “Plimsoll Punks”. The single shows the Canadians further embracing some smooth surf vibes, while the injection of…

Stu Larsen has been living that global troubadour life for years now, becoming a well-known and acclaimed performer through Europe and the US, while remaining a favourite amongst local circles in Australia as well. His travels, clearly, serve as apt inspiration for new music and in his delivery, Larsen communicates his narrative with beautiful nuance…

Mutemath have returned with some brand new tunes, the latest of which comes in the form of “War”. Take from their new album Play Dead (due out September 8th), the single is rollicking as ever, frenetic and drenched in their electronic/rock flavours that fans have been loving about Mutemath for years now. The song is gritty and the…

Grizzly Bear aren’t normally known for keeping creative ideas conservative when it comes to their music and the visual representations of it, so this new clip for their tune “Mourning Sound” isn’t a totally surprising offering from the group. We head to Paris for this one and as director Beatrice Pegard does her thing, the audience…

Everyone’s got an ideal body type; one of the best at the moment is coming out of Sydney and it’s got nothing to do with a custom size. The band who have been generating decent hype off the back of impressive live shows and releases have come through again with a new single in “Silver”…

Perth duo Hamjam celebrated the release of their album a/s/l? on Friday and what better way to mark it than with a brand new music video too? The fact that both Hamish Rahn and James Ireland have been able to fit in the time to write and record an album of their own while also touring with Methyl Ethel and…

Now, here’s a bit of a new one for you. Melbourne’s Birdhouse have been generating considerable hype over the last few months, particularly with the release of their sophomore EP I’ve Got Something To Tell You. Their approach to indie rock music has seen the group inject a dose of surf-punk into their music that has gone…

Continuing to refine and hone their sound is Adelaide’s Siamese, perfectly reflected in their new single, “Scatterbrain”. Still steeped in 90’s spirited shoe gaze and alt rock, “Scatterbrain” displays a more mature and evocative side of Siamese not yet seen on record. Melodic and heavy, the tune thuds with guitar and vocal. It’s muddy, but in…

Vinay Matta has been producing and working on some cool electronic music out in LA as Hansaa for a few years now, but he’s still relatively unknown to a widespread Australian audience. Until now, anyway. His debut single has seen Hansaa link up with Oliver Tank and production duo soso for “Need To Know” – a tune soaked…

Young producer and triple j Unearthed wünderkind Kuren has been impressing audiences in regional areas recently, supporting Illy as he takes Two Degrees round the traps but now, Kuren steps further into the spotlight with his new single, “Mastercraft”. A commanding effort by the emerging producer and songwriter, “Mastercraft” is the first track we’re hearing Kuren’s own…

Kim Churchill‘s national tour is edging closer and today, he slayed his Like a Version performance, tackling Queens of the Stone Age for triple j. Ahead of the weekend, we’re sharing the songwriter’s new music video for the catchy single, “Second Hand Car”, taking from his new album Weight_Falls. Shot out in St. Kilda, “Second Hand Car”…

The Weary are not wearisome at all, rather a dreamy bunch of Melbourne musicians making some equally dreamy guitar pop. Their music is slinky and guitar fuelled, inspiration drawn from Bruce Springsteen to Beach House. Their latest single, “Patti Smith”, is accompanied by a musing, voyeuristic film clip, directed by guitarist Josh Van Cuylenburg. It follows two young Melbourne…

We’ve been digging The Sand Dollars for a minute now and in their latest single, “Love Dust”, we’ve seen yet another facet of the group’s musicality. We’ve been used to the band coming out of the ranks with some banging indie numbers but in “Love Dust”, The Sand Dollars come through and showcase a softer, more vulnerable…

First, there was Syd‘s Fin. Then came SZA‘s Ctrl. Most recently, we’ve heard from Kelela and her new tune, “LMK”, a sexy call out for those nights in the club where hook ups are frequent and caution is definitely thrown to the wind. This wave of enrapturing R&B is one we are so happy to be riding out at…

It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from/seen one Marlon Williams but today, that wait is over, with the release of his new single, “Vampire Again”. The song has been a part of Williams’ live set for a while now but regardless, its release marks the first sign of new material since his acclaimed self-titled…

Jason Chung has returned with another stunning album under his Nosaj Thing in Parallels. From it comes “UG”, the captivating second cut to be taken and released and man, does it go down nicely. Exemplary of Nosaj Thing’s great use of sonic texture and his masterful use of tone, “UG” fits brilliantly in with the wider collection…

Manu Crook$ has had a hectic few months, the lead up to his shows with Stormzy positioned the young MC on a platform for greatness and as a result of them, Manu Crook$ is now a name more and more people have been chatting about. Rightly so, too. Everything we have heard from him so far…

Hands down, my favourite song this week. Can I say that, even though it’s only Monday? I’m going to go with it anyway. Mojo Juju is one of the east coast’s most entertaining and charming performers; an attitude in stage presence is felt just as prominently on record too, something I’ve been finding a rare quality…

Crooked Colours are currently out on the road with their acclaimed album Vera, so it would make sense that they’d keep the hype train running with the release of their new music video for “Come Back To You”. It’s a stunning piece, set in Barcelona and directed by J.A. Moreno. Follow the couple though the urban surroundings of…

Melbourne’s Self Talk first garnered our attention during some sweeps of triple j Unearthed last year; their indie pop/rock sensibilities were quick to shine and stand above the rest. Whether it was in the draw of “Untitled” or the catchiness of “Clean Washing”, there was something about this group that had people abuzz and we were quick…

Kele Okereke has continued to share some new music from his forthcoming new solo album, Fatherland, in “Grounds for Resentment”. A sweet duet with Years and Years‘ vocalist Olly Alexander, the song tells the story of a relationship from two different perspectives; oozing soul and vocal texture, it’s another reminder that Okereke’s new material is not what fans might be…

We’re edging closer and closer to hearing what Ecca Vandal has in store for us, debut album-wise, but in the mean time we’re joining the masses who have been frothing her latest tune, “Broke Days, Party Nights”. Chaotic and relentless as ever, the music video for the tune takes us through Ecca’s recent journey out to…

We’ve been big fans of Sydney duo Left. since first coming across them at BIGSOUND what feels like moons ago now. Since then, they have surged forward in leaps and bounds, establishing themselves as one of Sydney’s premier frontrunners for fresh new music. In their new single “Thank Me Later”, Left.’s Sarah Corry opens up about a relationship…
