As ever, all the tracks that make it onto the playlist are aces in my book but if I absolutely, positively had to pick no more than five to check out this week, it’d be these.
If you’re looking for new albums, all the new long-players I’ve spotted from emerging, independent, and DIY artists are here
single
Finn Alexander and the Forever Party – Sparkly
Fans of The National, Gang Of Youths, or just smartly constructed songsmithery will not just recognise themselves in this, but likely lose themselves in it altogether.
single
Max Quinn – CHANEL
Frequently retiring but never shy, Max Quinn’s wiry songs never disappoint, just as they always raise a wry and amused eyebrow.
SINGLE
Radio Free Alice – Toyota Camry
Poetic and poised, Radio Free Alice show once again just why they’re one of Australia’s hottest exports. A fabulous band with limitless potential.
TAKEN FROM THE EP ‘this is where I’m AT’
bella amor – couch
bella amor’s latest bounds and leaps with joyous abandon, shaking its hair and its head, losing both its mind and its temper.
SINGLE
CLEWS – You’re So Mine
Fewer bands design such high-quality musical structures as CLEWS, and there’s not as much as a brick out of place in their latest. Glorious, impressive, and built to last.
