Following the release of his sophomore solo album last month, we caught up with hazy psych-pop mastermind Nathan Abbey to dig into each track on the adventurous Big Farmer.
Track by Track:
Premiere:
Agent Apple Orange –
Winter McQuinn
Today we have the great pleasure of premiering the debut solo offering from local busy-bee Winter McQuinn – ‘Agent Apple Orange’ finds the Sunfruits frontman leaning into his usual vintage pop sound, with an extra dose of ramshackle folk-rocker spirit and glorious lo-fi charm.

Premiere:
Hollywood Real Thoughts – Hydra
Alongside their album launch livestream that went live last night on Twitch, today we’ve got the pleasure of taking a first look at Hollywood Real Thoughts’ disorientating second album Hydra – a mix of turbulent soundscapes, evocative ambience and murky electronica that ties together into a surrealist 40 minute listening trip.

Broke & Enter –
The New Fundraiser Mini-Festival
After losing gear, income and irreplaceable recordings during a home invasion and car theft, Melbourne artists Ella Clair and Bailey Judd have created new hope amidst the tribulation, in the form of the mini-festival fundraiser Broke & Enter, featuring a huge line-up of local talent united in the common support of their fellow artists.
Premiere:
98 Camry – April Wind
Back with their third single in four months, 98 Camry have returned today with ‘April Wind’, a stirring alt-folk track that puts the project’s usual jangle-pop charm on hold for something a little more uneasy.
Premiere:
Old El Parso – Hugs
Melbourne has new competition for the finest irreverent band name in the city: by interspersing his surname with that most famous of Tex-Mex dinner brands, Jack Parsons (of The Pretty Littles) has become Old El Parso on his first solo endeavour.
