Premiere: The Baudelaires exclusively reveal their new video for the track ‘Roller Vaseline’ on the eve of the release of their album ‘Tilt’
Melbourne psych exponents extraordinaire The Baudelaires are about to release their new album ‘Tilt’ on Friday through the magnificent Cheersquad Records and Tapes/Little Cloud Records, and we are honoured to exclusively reveal the video for their single ‘Roller Vaseline’. ‘Roller Vaseline’ does just what it says on the label: a thundering, restless wall of guitars …
Track: The Golden Rail see ‘Silver Linings’ in their new reflective and ethereal track ahead of album release.
The Golden Rail have deep within their genetic code a golden thread stretching back to bands in the eighties that have a particular Western Australian glint about them – think of the recent jangle pop of The Rinehearts and the glorious regimes of The Triffids, Scientists, The Hoodoo Gurus and The Stems. Now based in …
Track: Little Guilt are going ‘Nowhere’ – a dreamy destination drenched in sunshine and regret. EP and launch dates also announced.
Western Australia continues to punch above its weight with Little Guilt‘s new track ‘Nowhere’. This is the aural equivalent of a sunny canoe ride floating gently down a dappling river.

It is a gothic-flavoured collection that reflects the period of turmoil over the last few years, bleeding through every pore, and yet seems to offer a glimpse of hope in the end. Opening track ‘Introduction’ …
Track: Mess Esque unveil new track ‘Armour Your Armor’ as they bring their frail and beautiful sound to the world on tour.
Last year’s magnificent self-titled album from Mess Esque was for me one of the stand out releases of the year, and recognition of the duo’s stature and the album’s imperial majesty resulted in them embarking on a world-wide adventure in the US and, currently in Europe, supporting Kurt Vile. In the midst of this, the …

Multitalented Aurora announces Australian tour.
Track: Salarymen ease gently back into our pop dreams with ‘Young Guns’ – a dark view of society leavened by an indelible sparkling delivery. Plus album and tour news.
We are pleased to see the return of the vintage-tinged dream pop shimmer of Sydney duo Salarymen with their deceptively sunshine filled single ‘Young Guns’. The single is a first taste of their sophomore EP due out October 20, and comes as the duo announce international shows in Japan for November 2022. The dual vocals …
