“Dvrkworld roll in from Tassie on a wave of distortion but what hits hardest isn’t the weight, it’s the wild joy in it all. It’s a hard fork from foundational shoegaze, where bags of giddy fun coexist with the ear-splitting squalls, where the loons live happily alongside the librarians. Fabulous stuff.” Gallery Listen

Tracks are nice and everything, but albums are where it’s at. These are all the albums released in March that I caught from Australian emerging, independent, and DIY artists.

As ever, all the tracks that make it onto the playlist are aces in my book but if I had to pick no more than five to check out this week, it’d be these.

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
