“Already Home” has become a recent favourite of ours, we’re pitting Alex The Astronaut to have a promising year now 2017 is coming knocking. The single, recorded in Melbourne earlier this year, now also has a music video – the landscape has been swapped for that of upstate New York, directed by Roland Ellis. Following Alex and…

Millington – remember the name. While 2016 is beginning to wind down, this songwriter is only getting started. Today, we share his latest single “Spark in the Dust”, taken from his debut EP Being, due out on January 21st. The introduction leads into a vibrant and enveloping body of feel good folk; Millington wraps the listener up…

Another mint slice from Jay Watson aka GUM today, this time in the form of a music video for his tune, “Gemini”. Taking influence from classic favourites like The Never Ending Story, the clip was shot in Los Angeles under the directorial and editorial eye of Sam Kristofski. Featuring Teresa Oman and Stephen Engstrom, the “Gemini” film clip is slick and well…

The new music video for I Know Lepoard’s “Rather Be Lonely” is a swift hop, skip and a jump over the line separating beauty and morbidity. The footage used for this music video was originally filmed by LA director Wyatt Winborne, who was looking for the right outlet for the then silent film and just so happened…

Who would’ve thought the moody, indie-rock sounds of Warpaint could be transformed into something so dance-floor ready? Bask in the six-minute, bass-heavy groove of Soulwax’s remix of “New Song” and prepare to have your senses confused, but so delighted. Soulwax chucks in a faster tempo, driving keys and some disco lasers and synths, making for a psychedelic…

Following their debut album Speak Up released earlier this year, Geraldton-hailing punk-rockers Alex The Kid have dropped single “Untitled” as part of the band’s label Pee Record’s compilation Pee Approved 5. It’s infectiously melodic from the opening bars and continues to soar with crashing percussion and endless guitars. Frontman Ken McCartney‘s vocals are honest and grungy,…

Your favourite Brisbane punk-rockers have made an Australian music video first with their official interactive video for their new single, “Scott Green”. In true Dune Rats fashion, it’s a blundering, drug-fueled adventure that follows the boys on their quest to find the ratdog that stole their weed at a house party. And this is where…

This local psychedelic pop/rock outfit from Adelaide are doing some really good things. The past twelve months have seen Zen Panda support some huge names like Last Dinosaurs and The Belligerents, as well as release their debut single, “Cute Hand Touch In The Nutbowl”. Now, we have a crazy little video clip to match. Alluding…

In what was simply a perfect musical pairing waiting to happen, contemporary R&B project Rhye has provided some exceptionally beautiful vocals for Bonobo’s single, “Break Apart”. This is a stripped-back, velvety soundscape where dreams are made. Lifted from his sixth studio album Migration, due January 13th, “Break Apart” illustrates both the transitory nature of the album and Bonobo’s…

Check this moment of sweet tenderness from Ty Segall today. In “Orange Colour Queen” we get a taste of Segall’s forthcoming self-titled album (due out in January) – it’s hazy, has an old school Beatles-esque harmonic vibe and is set to be perfect for lazy summer days. The new Ty Segall album saw the songwriter enter…

If you’ve listened to Divas and Demons from front to back at least once since its release, “Lose Sleep” is definitely one of the standout tracks. For Remi and Jordan Rakei, the collaboration saw both artists delve into the reflective and the end result? A soulful and poignant single that speaks to those who have felt like they’re flailing…

Bleached Bones are an electro trio out of the UK who have dangled a tasty morsel in “I Want To Know” in front of us today and…we’ve bitten. The single isn’t officially released until next month but we’ve been streaming this one all day and it’s been a perfect soundtrack to getting through that classic…

Are they folk-pop? Are they country-pop? Regardless, Towne come packing with a lot of soul that’s irresistible. Debut EP Games We Play is an impressive outing for the US duo, with single “The One I Love” standing out from the jump. Melodic and strongly led by Steevie Steeves‘ vocal, the song now has a music video, securing its international…

DMA‘s have had nothing short of a hectic year. They’ve emerged from the Sydney scene triumphant as ever off the back of Hill’s End and have taken their music to larger stages not only in Australia, but in some of music’s biggest international markets too. It’s kinda sweet that for their latest music video, the band decided…

Massachusetts-based artist Grammar has hooked us with their latest single, “Michigan” this week: a slow building and intricate alt-pop composition that no doubt will continue to generate momentum for the band as the last few weeks of 2016 roll out. Vocalist Barrie Lindsay has a delicate charm that reminds me of Oh Wonder’s Josephine Vander Gucht and…

Damn it, Timberwolf. There he goes, off radar for a minute and bam – the Adelaide crooner comes back with another slice of gold in new single, “Washed Out”. While the song stemmed from a late night/early morning Bondi skinny dip, Timberwolf explores a murkier, less clear-cut territory as the song weaves its way around themes of…

Diana Gordon‘s anthemic “Woman” single now has a music video and it’s equally as striking. Premiering overseas through Vogue (of course), the music video for “Woman” saw Gordon feature alongside a cast of gorgeous women, directed by Cameron McCool. Like the song itself, this is a clip celebrating the female – the strength, the beauty and…

Spit Syndicate have been slept on for an embarrassing amount of time, if I’m honest. True, the Sydney duo  have maintained a loyal fanbase who’ve been rocking with them since 2008’s Towards the Light, it’s not a far stretch to guess Lupi and Jimmy Nice garnered a larger chunk of attention through their work within the One Day crew in the…

Hollow Everdaze this week dropped the visuals for their single “Still Ticking”, directed by James Thompson and filmed over an impressive eight locations throughout Victoria. Capturing the haze of summers gone by, it’s a great accompaniment to the band’s latest song, taken from their upcoming debut album Cartoons. The band has been kicking around for a little while…

Jordan Ireland with Purple Orchestra has had us hooked with “East Coaster”, the first cut we’ve heard from the band’s forthcoming album of the same name, due out next month. While we’ve heard music from Ireland since The Middle East’s disbanding (Temperate Touch & Tropical Tears, as Stolen Violin), this new album of music is sure…

The SKEGSS boys launched their new single “Spring Has Sprung” on us, due for official release come December 9th. Flourishing off the back of a triple j premiere with Linda Marigliano, “Spring Has Sprung” is the first we’re hearing from SKEGSS’ new EP Holiday Food (due out February 2017). As for where this song positions SKEGSS moving…

New Circa Waves! Would ya look at these guys, emerging from recent studio sessions all slick and rock, like. New single “Wake Up” sees the band take on a harder edge than we were initially expecting, going down an early Arctic Monkeys-type route. It makes sense, with the band bringing in noted producer Alan Moulder on the…

Melbourne’s Huntly – talented, dreamy and bursting with potential going into 2017. Solidly building a reputation as an impressive live act, the experimental R&B act have dropped a new single in “Please” and man, we’re here for it. Between vocalists Charlie and Elspeth, the verses throb with longing and heartache, while the percussion and beats pulsate throughout. Huntly make music…

Byron Bay duo Bleach Girls have a sound perfect for this coming summer. They’ve got the heat of a pent up punk/garage band and the sunkissed vibes of some promising surf-rock all up in the mix. Their tune “Like You” is a combination of the above, recorded out on the Gold Coast as part of their debut…

Fractures has been having a great year and his super hyped new album Still Here remains a few months off release yet. The album is due out in February 2017 but already, fans have been having their appetites whet with the Melbourne multi-instrumentalists new sounds, particularly in latest single “Fall Harder”. The single is the second to be…

LANKS‘ co-headline tour with Hein Cooper is kicking off this week and we can’t wait to see what comes of these special shows around the country. Both artists are not only extremely talented, but this year has been equally as fruitful for them in terms of tours and music releases. We’ve been riding with Hein for…

We’ve just cottoned on to the Jack Cheshire Band over the last few weeks, in particular, new single “Visitations”. It led us to their 2013 album Long Mind Hotel before landing on this year’s Black Light Theatre. With hints of Grizzly Bear and Television filtering through their psych-folk sounds, the band, led by Somerset songwriter Cheshire, impressed quite quickly. The music…

Alex L’Estrange has really come out of nowhere this year, hasn’t he? From intriguing and enigmatic early performances to the captivating shows he’s been giving crowds on the latest Holy Holy tour, the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter has been giving music fans much to talk about in recent months. When it comes to new music, L’Estrange…

Taken from their latest record Death Magic, HEALTH have recently dropped the visuals for “L.A Looks”, directed by Derrick Beckles. The Adult Swim name encapsulates the oddities and faded greatness of Los Angeles, from Hollywood to Venice, in the form of one of those late night, public access TV commercials. Get educated and check it out below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4r0gkByCvY&feature=youtu.be ———- This…

Bag Raiders have linked up with Mayer Hawthorne on new tune “Beat Me To The Punch” and it’s catchy as hell. The boys have come storming back with another hit of vibrant electro pop that’ll do well on your summer playlist this year, no doubt. As a taste of what’s to come from the duo in…
