Filled with soothing tones of melancholic, self-reflective rumination, Mimi Gilbert’s new album Grew Inside the Water is a stunning expression of emotive vitality. We had the pleasure of hearing from Mimi about the stories behind the songs.

SCABZ – Pressure
Ahead of the release of their debut full-length later this month, Sydney trio SCABZ have shared with us the album’s blistering title track ‘Pressure’ – a fierce and explosive blitz of their signature punk chaos that wouldn’t feel out of place blasting out of a rundown dive-bar in 1970’s London.

Track by Track:
Terrible Signal – The Window
On The Window, Terrible Signal (aka Vincent Buchanan-Simpson) offers listeners a glimpse (or a window, if you will) into his solo project’s broadening scope – the collection of homely jangle-pop existing in the hazy space between the project’s sleepy bedroom-pop origins and the full-blown garage-rock sensibilities of the live act.
Premiere:
Shoeb Ahmad – A Body Full Of Tears
Back with their first full-length release since 2018, today we have the pleasure of premiering the new album from Canberra sound artist Shoeb Ahmad – a collection of disorientating post-punk that blurs at the edges into ambient electronica, A Body Full Of Tears is as evocative as it is turbulent.
