Returning with their first new music in 18 months, local avant-pop ensemble Long Lunch are back with ‘A State of Mind/ Chaos Flutes’ today – a mesmerising first taste of their forthcoming debut album, that comes accompanied by a stark isolation clip that makes the track’s languid temperament feel all the more introspective.
We check in with musician and writer Elsie Lange to find out what she’s been up to during lockdown.
Back with a new double single, The Eyeballers once again entice us into the surf-rock realm with ‘Lost at Sea’ and ‘It Wasn’t Over.’ With an energy that drives the body to dance but the mind to ease, these tracks are a quintessential combination of grit and groove.
On Once Again The Present Becomes The Past, Melbourne’s busiest rocker Alien Nosejob (aka Jake Robertson) pulls another U-turn and veers back into grimy punk territory with a new level of focus, firmly gripped on war and history’s insistence on repeating itself.
Following the release of ‘Happyness’ from Tim Derricourt’s dream-pop project Swimwear, today we have the pleasure of sharing the new clip for the single – blending disco synths with sprawling dance moves, ‘Happyness’ effortlessly captures the blissful freedom of being alone.
With the release of their sophomore album quickly approaching, Oliver Shaw and Jayden Hebbard’s El Fuko have let us into their world of enigmatic spoken-word art-rock, with a picturesque nine-minute video clip to accompany the first three singles of Blue Flower.
The second cut from their forthcoming debut album, ‘Turn To Black’ could also be Super-X’s mission statement – their full-throttled industrial punk is a sonic slap in the face that engulfs listeners in a murky darkness, leaving us dizzy and disoriented.
Enriched with whimsical poeticism, honey-like vocals and a captivating and timeless charisma, Ed Moon’s latest single ‘Moon’ is a gentle, soul-inspired creation. We had the pleasure of chatting with the emerging singer-songwriter about the new track and what’s next.

Powered by a thunderous fusion of pulsating guitars, fierce drumming and arrestingly unapologetic female vocals, Goldminds’ debut album Signals is a force to be reckoned with. Ahead of its release today, we were lucky enough to chat with Goldminds’ frontwoman Courtney Constantinou to dig into the album.
Today we have the pleasure of premiering the debut album from Horse Meat!, a collection of dark and uncompromising post-punk, unironically built around the sounds of 80’s synth-pop and unpinned by a furious, agitated edge.
Following her debut single released as part of Osborne Again and co’s Stay Inside compilation, Emma Shields is back today with ‘Mind’, another dose of her intoxicating and immersive dream-pop that gives us a secondary glimpse into her evocative sonic world.
