Sometimes – just sometimes – the universe operates smoothly and correctly, and this week was one of those times, with Bad//Dreems absolutely brilliant new track ‘Jack’ running the table on the best Australian new music playlists.
🥇Bad//Dreems
🥈Babe Rainbow
🥉Kinder, Ocean Alley, Press Club, Royel Otis
What’s of note here too is more precisely who doled out all that support – not only did both Spotify and Triple J lists give them the nod (that doesn’t always happen) but an absolutely load of the independent playlists piled on with adds. The Baddies are the real deal, beloved by the grassroots and the corporates both. It’s also a powerful, deeply angry track and should be heard by everyone, everywhere – thank you universe for working out like you should this week.
Elsewhere, tracks from Babe Rainbow’s LP got liberally scattered across the playlists, with Ocean Alley and Royel Otis also doing well. It was also great to see Press Club’s excellent ‘Endless Motion’ LP also getting heavily backed.
Story Of The Week though goes to Kinder, whose new track ‘Keep Up’ not only kept pace but outran some more established artists this week. This duo may originally hail from a small town, but they’re pulling some pretty big moves.
