All haill Barkaa, Blak Matriarchy is blistering, brash, and high-octane.

Sydney electronic flagbearers are on top form with their fourth album. Buoyant, listenable, Surrender is a surefire summer soundtrack staple.

Gela, an eponymous statement to Baker’s skin name, is a deeply personal, singular, and joyous listen from front to back.

Fun, hopeful, and a little snarky. A delightful EP from one of Australia's most beloved comedy veterans.

EVERYBODY KNOWS... IT HURTS TO GROW UP! There is SO much depth and duality to this Ruby's long-awaited debut. It strikes a balance between tinnie-crushing larrikinism and hard-earned stoicism.

The mood of Luke Steele and Jarrad Rogers debut offering is xenon-lit and mechanical. Though beneath the machine-like soundscape, they've tapped into something hopeful and deeply human.

Pisties have tapped into the warming oddity of Australiana barfly romance. The record glows with rollicking, instantly memorable tracks, chock-a-block with gutsy guitar, and riotous call-to-arm singalongs. 

Another strong release from the elder statesmen of Aussie hip hop, teeming with radical collaborations.

Stellar Lights is a dreamscape. Brigitte Bardini’s songwriting is nuanced and gorgeous. Gauzy, delicate melodies unfurl in a way that feels labyrinthine. It is a genuinely exciting release.
