Queensland’s strength in indie fare continues apace with the release of the new single by Gold Coast outfit Pure Milk. We are pleased to premiere their new video for the track ‘Dreams on a Platter’.

Track: Women’s Day every day – Clovo brings feminist dark electro pop on debut single ‘Girls’
We still can’t get enough of this track, recently released by new Australian outfit clovo, the project creating seductively dark, alt-pop sounds a la Mia Rodriguez, Billie Eilish and Grimes. Clovo (aka Gold Coast’s Chloe Magee) has debuted her single Girls, a track written on International Women’s Day this year, as an anthem for all …
Track: Chloe Styler releases the yearning, effervescent pop track ‘Consider Me Gone’
‘Consider Me Gone’, the new track from Gold Coast musician Chloe Styler, is a gorgeously haunting pop classic with a driving, insistent undercurrent and a vaulting and celestial chorus. Styler says of the track: It’s the perfect blend of every influence of mine, from early 2000s punk pop to 80s pop to a more contemporary …

It’s been nearly two years since we reviewed the delightful album ‘Last Light’ from Brisbane’s dream pop giants syrup go on. They have returned after a year of songwriting, development and, I presume, avoiding the maelstrom of COVID with a new single: the luminescent and sparkling track ‘Lavender Sky’. Evoking images of pastoral, bucolic countrysides …
Track: We Are Iso produce a catchy dance floor filler ‘Love n’ Trust’ out of the pains of isolation.
Sometimes good things can come from bad, and the plethora of good music being born from the thralls of isolation is an example. The unlikely combination of vocalist Straalen Mccullem (apparently the youngest ever signing to Sony music at the age of nine) and DJ Jessy Mulholland, trapped in some pandemic nightmare has given rise …
Track: San Mei – Wonder
San Mei is the work of Gold Coast’s Emily Hamilton and her new single, ‘Wonder’, is a fantastic, slightly scuzzy, psych-tinged blast of pop. Incorporating elements of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and little bit of Garbage, ‘Wonder’ is bursting with energy and attitude with just a light dusting of grit to give it an inherent …
