Track by Track:
Merpire – Endless Chatter
Merpire’s debut EP Endless Chatter is a dazzling collection of euphoric dream-pop, full with sparkling synthesisers, woozy guitars and mastermind Rhiannon Arkinson-Howatt’s illuminative vocals, and immediately asserts Merpire as an act to keep an eye on.
Video Premiere:
China Beach – My Mind
Party-starters China Beach are back with a new clip for their latest single ‘My Mind’ – it’s just as wildly over-the-top as you’d expect, and proves the track to be one you literally can’t get out of your head.
Video Premiere:
Anti-Violet – Heat Stroke
Anti-Violet’s new clip for ‘Heat Stroke’ is a whacked-out beach story complete with aggro seagulls and melted faces, and plays along perfectly with their equally fried track.
Premiere:
Fingerless – Outhere
We’re really excited to premiere the third album from Brisbane psychedelic rock crew Fingerless – Outhere is a collection of hazy acid-folk paired with other-worldly soundscapes, and sees the project smoothly transform from a solo venture to a full band.
