Nothing succeeds like excess, and when it’s a double album of melodic anthems infused with a sixties pop harmonies, seventies guitar solos and an eighties/nineties mix of jangling guitars and pop melodies, you really can’t go wrong. ‘Reverse Light Years’, the new double album from Melbourne legends Even has all that and more, and leaves …

The project of Melburnian James Spencer Harrison, who has also released several albums, singles and EPs under the J M S Harrison moniker, Fleeting Persuasion, has just released the delicate and yearning single ‘Passed Through’. Jangling guitars and a sense of peaceful resolve filter through this pensive track that drifts like a leaf floating along …

Last July we  premiered Anatomy Class‘s single ‘Reflector Shield’ – a classical indie pop anthem replete with undulating waves of sparkling guitars, a thundering percussion and passionate vocals burnished with some gorgeous harmonies. This is a band that perfects a royal wielding of jangling guitars and celestial melodies that superglue their way into the head. …

Jacob Fitzgerald‘s inherent ability to write perfectly formed pop songs that sparkle and shimmer is proven yet again with his new track ‘Lonely’. Pressing gently on the brakes after the fizzy pop of earlier single ‘Pretty Good For My Mind‘, ‘Lonely’ has a slower paced trot and a faint touch of americana in its yearning …

Skybelly (the nom de plume of Sara Nelson) has just released her stunning debut album, ‘A Space Tramp Odyssey’: a widely evocative and creative magnus opus which is a deep and rich concept album.

Last month we had the honour to premiere the single ‘The Excavator’ from Melbourne artist Anna Smyrk which showcased her gorgeous vocals and bright pop style. Smyrk has now released the EP ‘The Hour Between Us’ which cements her reputation as a significant songwriter with an exceptional voice. This is a collection of vibrant pop …

Courtney Barnett‘s style is unique and charming: there is a comforting consistency in her dry observational style and yet each release expands and enriches the colours on her canvas. New single ‘Write A List Of Things To Look Forward To’ seems to highlight Barnett’s vocals: there is a crisper melodic edge to them and the …

The sun shines brighter, even in Australia, when Melbourne masters of jangling pop Even return to the fray. Their new single ‘Cherry Afterglow’ is classic indie pop: massive choruses, driving verses and the scything, ringing guitars. Hints of psychedelia, a dreamy interlude and an approach not afraid of delivering indelible melodies with an anthemic drive. …

‘Eternal’, the new single from Melbourne’s Fleeting Persuasion, prowls and circles with a delicious brooding intensity and dark gothic undertones. There is a euphoric mix of a new wave arctic chill with the jangling angular guitars and something more electronic and syncopated. A subtle touch of backing vocals adds a delicate shaft of light. It …
