Track: Tobi Tobi – Cast Away
It’s often the spaces in between the instruments in a song that create an inedible atmosphere, and the new single by Melbournian duo Tobi Tobi proves this fact.

Track: Bob Dylan – False Prophet
A release as surprising and enigmatic as the prior “I Contain Multitudes” and “Murder Most Foul”, “False Prophet” foreshadows Dylan’s “Rough and Rowdy Ways”.
