In early 2023 Emily Breeze released her latest album ‘Rapture’ to critical acclaim and has been hoping to be an overnight success – all be it, one twenty years in the making.

Purveyors of a gothic pop industrial sound infused by an ominous darkness, Melbourne outfit Velatine have just released the album ‘I Won’t Be Civilised’ accompanied by the vivid and dynamic title track. The track has a funereal, elegiac quality propelled by thundering drums and an insistent drone that stabs underneath the surface. Singer Maggie Alley’s …
