Chapter Music have just announced Midnight Meditations, a masterful collection of contemplative, late-night downbeat and ambient sounds to guide us through our introspective battlefields.

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.
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.
On his brand new EP Forgotten Dreams, Melbourne-based folk-rock storyteller John Tennyson offers seven outstanding performances that either cut you open, prod your wounds, or call for closure.

With the release of his new single ‘Lost It All’, Quiet Blue is carving out a place for himself in the Australian music scene, with his fusion of pop, folk and electronica, grounded in misty-eyed storytelling.
Alt-country turned rock ’n’ roll locals Scurvylicious have kicked things up a notch with their latest single ‘Wiser’ – a dreamy pre-summer anthem guaranteed to send you into a head nodding, foot tapping trance before you even clock what’s happening.
