Following the release of ‘Post Grad Party’ last month, we caught up with dream-pop party-starters Holy Peyote to dig into their debut single, as well as their forthcoming album due next month.
The party’s over, what do I do now? –

A chat with Tam Vantage

Track by Track:
Bananagun –
The True Story of Bananagun
Akin to a warm hug, Bananagun’s debut album The True Story of Banangun is a record that screams with relaxed mindfulness; a soul-searcher laden with afrobeat precision. A few days on from its release, bandleader Nick Van Bakel has carried us downstream and provided his insights on the album track by track.
Our Two Skins –
A Chat with Gordi
Gordi has just released her sophomore record Our Two Skins, a shedding of armour in an exposed examination of identity, purpose and love. We had the pleasure of speaking to Gordi about the record, her past several years as a musician, and her words of wisdom for emerging artists.
Track by Track:
Leah Senior – The Passing Scene
One moment whimsical, the next introspective and pensive, Leah Senior’s third album The Passing Scene is an unassuming triumph of a record that’s themes of living life and the world changing around us make it the sort of album to sink deeply into.
They Made Me Do It –
Talking Influences with M.W.
Our friends at Spoilsport Records are bringing us another excellent release with a collection of jangling and personal demos from bedroom-pop gem M.W., and ahead of its release next week, we had Meaghan talk us through some of the inspiration behind the tracks.
Underneath the Written Letter –

Track by Track:
Immigrant Union –
Judas
Judas, the new album from Melbourne long-timers Immigrant Union is a rollercoastering collection of folk infused psychedelia that certainly won’t betray your high expectations of the band. Songwriter/singer duo Bob Harrow and Brent DeBoer have dropped by to take you through each of the album’s eleven tracks.
Track by Track:
Dr. Chicken Gristle –

They Made Me Do It –
Talking Influences with
Jeremy Neale
Earlier this year, Brisbane indie-rock hero Jeremy Neale released his sophomore album We Were Trying To Make It Out, a real left-right-goodnight bombardment of his contagious power-pop goodness, and today he’s done us the pleasure of giving us a peek into his musical influence evolution.
