Three Tracks From Chapter Music’s Fascinating Midnight Meditations Compilation
Long standing Melbourne label Chapter Music has put out Midnight Meditations, an ambient and downbeat collection of previously unreleased tracks from Australian artists that spans almost four decades.

Josienne Clarke Releases Exceptional Solo Debut LP

[…]
Flora Hibberd Releases The Absentee EP & Shares New Video
Yesterday Paris based English singer-songwriter Flora Hibberd released her debut EP, the idiosyncratic and immersive The Absentee. Produced by J.C.

When taken together as pieces of a cohesive whole, both […]
NEW SISTER RELEASE INFLUENCE EP

TROPICAL FUCK STORM SHARE NEW SINGLE + VIDEO FROM BRAINDROPS
For those unfamiliar, Melbourne based experimental psych-noise-punk-rock quartet Tropical Fuck Storm are an underground Australian supergroup of sorts, one not averse to wearing their political and social hearts on their sleeve and staring down power with a steely resolve, unpretentious intellect and a healthy dose of self-awareness. Formed in 2017, the band consists of drummer […]
