Following the release of their pile-driving post-punk single ‘Soft Dream’ last week, Melbourne new-wave trio Jacuzzi talk us through the diverse and, at times, unexpected influences on their sound.
They Made Me Do It –
Video Premiere:
Wilf Jones – The Only Way
On his debut single, Wilf Jones trades in his years of experience playing in noisey local bands to craft his most refined music yet – ‘The Only Way’ is a swirl of brooding psychedelia and experimental pop that you’ll very easily find yourself lost in.
Track by Track:
The Bush – Ricotta
Just over a year since their first show, autumnal-pop four-piece The Bush have shared Ricotta, a beautifully forlorn yet charming debut EP scattered with lyrical insight and delicate instrumentation.
Video Premiere:
Pop Filter – Laughing Falling
Today we have the absolute pleasure of premiering the instantly joyous new single ‘Laughing Falling’ from emerging jangle-pop ensemble Pop Filter, a spontaneous and thrilling new project from a group of Australia’s most-loved musicians.
Premiere:
Witching Hour – Colourblind

Yanked out of Retirement –
A chat with Le Villejuif Underground
