At the risk of being branded a dangerous lunatic by everyone who’s still in recovery mode almost a fortnight on, I’m going to come right out and say that BIGSOUND is one of my favourite weeks of the whole damn year. It’s Australia’s sun-drenched, beer-soaked music industry summer camp; part thinktank, part music festival, part […]
Many of us can link a certain album to pivotal moments in our lives. Whether it’s the first record you bought with your own money, the chord you first learnt to play on guitar, the song that soundtracked your first kiss, the album that got you those awkward and painful pubescent years or the one […]
America will take their 50th anniversary tour around Australia this November and December. It’s been a year chock full of retrospective celebrations for the US band, with the 6CD, Capitol Years, box set arriving in May and a subsequent 3CD set, 50th Anniversary: The Collection, landing in July. The scope of the two box sets […]
Knife Party are still reeling from the release and fanfare over their thumping Lost Souls EP, and now they’ve dropped an accompanying remix package featuring two reworks by two different producers. The remixes come courtesy of British drum and bass gargantuan Muzzy, who took care of ‘Ghost Train’, and British powerhouse duo Annix, who took on […]
‘Hurts Me Like Hell’, the new single from nostalgic synth-pop duo JANEY, is the kind of neon-soaked ballad you might expect to soundtrack a particularly emotional moment in an 1980s coming-of-age film. A more downtempo cut than usual from JANEY, the track is an introspective dive into evolution and growth. The duo’s most personal release […]
Last month, Timothy Carroll and Oscar Dawson AKA Holy Holy released their third studio record, My Own Pool of Light. The record traverses their gorgeously concentrated vision as a band, offering up their most raw release to date. With the record’s release, they also shared a boundlessly energetic live video of them performing their single ‘Maybe You […]
It’s been a busy morning for pop star, Charli XCX. After being announced on the huge Laneway Festival 2020 lineup, she’s today gone and dropped a new clip too. Last week, Charli XCX released her highly-anticipated debut record, Charli. The record is absolutely stacked with features, with Lizzo, Haim, Christine & The Queens, Clairo & more […]
You can learn a lot from a Tropical Fuck Storm song. The title of the band’s first record, 2018’s A Laughing Death in Meatspace, combined an allusion to kuru, the incurable neurodegenerative disease once found in the Fore people of Papua New Guinea, with the dismissive name Silicon Valley engineers reserve for the physical realm […]
Darwin’s Caiti Baker has entered a new era for herself creatively. The genre-defying artist released her debut record, Zinc, two years ago. It came about after a prolonged period of time away from social media where she gave herself the space to reclaim her artistry. This period saw her form a creatively inimitable relationship with creative […]
Not all friendships strike up straight away. The relationship between POND and Mac DeMarco is one example. Both Mac and members of POND had played festivals together before, but the comradery didn’t really take hold until Laneway Festival 2015. It was the first leg of the seven-date tour and Mac was lounging in a Singapore […]
