Track: Toronto’s perfect Housewife (fka Moscow Apartment) are back with the shimmering track ‘Patrick Bateman’.
Due to unfortunate connotations, the brilliant duo Moscow Apartment who released, in my opinion, one of the most outstanding albums of 2020, the EP ‘Better Daughter’ (reviewed by me here), have decided to change their name and reemerge as Housewife – a somewhat delicious irony given their strong feminist stance (they proudly call themselves ‘opinionated …

Laura Mac‘s new single ‘Don’t Know What I’m Thinking’ is a effervescent blast of sonic goodness, with a hyper kinetic disco shuffle in a paean to bacchanalian excess. This Sunshine Coast band certainly knows how to bottle the sun’s rays and spray serotonin over the most light-deprived individual. The sound is all blistering pop and …

Track: Old Moon unveils the epic and cinematic shoegaze single ‘Soma’ ahead of album ‘Cities of the Plain’ release.
Old Moon is the nom de plume of Lyme, New Hampshire resident Tom Weir and his new single ‘Soma’ is an epic, cinematic slice of shoegaze pie. Scything walls of guitars feature as a thrilling, excoriating and fuzzy backdrop to Weir’s dissociated, melodic vocals that soar across the sonic attack. This has the antithetical mix …

After a darker turn with last year’s ‘Evil Worm’, Marley is back to his ebullient self with a dappling rich luscious …
