Because the sheer amount of releases from my favourite artists has been overwhelming, I decided it'd only be fitting to compile a Part 2 to my previous post! Can you believe it? It's incredulity at its finest.
It's taken me more than a while to post this, which I accredit to the fact that they're all being released in increments. (They've been such teases. There's more still on the way, so I might have to make another post. As per usual I'll just be hanging around and leeching off any sign of new music.) Anywho, let me be that conduit to the handful of great tunes!
Tame Impala // Currents There's no doubt I've had my heart set on Let It Happen, Eventually and 'Cause I'm A Man ever since they came out - but from the string of songs that came new to me upon release date, I've been really digging: The Moment + Nangs + The Less I Know The Better + Love/Paranoia
Day Wave // Headcase I've already showcased Drag beforehand, and no joke, I really do adore that song. There's just something about the nostalgic lo-fi vibes of Day Wave I never tire of. No questions, just pure love and hype. The following I've been humming: We Try but We Don't Fit In + Nothing At All + Total Zombie
Last Dinosaurs // Wellness I am super excited to say that I'll be seeing them live in October! Having bands come to town and go, whilst being denied the access to relish them (18+ sucks) has been livid torture. However, Last Dinosaurs finally listened to our call and now they're back for an album tour, with underage gigs. I can't wait! Some exciting stuff coming soon. Brand new picks: Karma + Wellness + Always + Purist + Stream + Wurl + Take Your Time + Zero (basically all?!)
GOVS // 6teenDRE'am [night xo] Possibly one of the most gorgeous voices in all of my music history, I was thrilled to see GOVS back with more. His previous works have accompanied me on the most alienated of nights. My appetite has yearned for more, and bam, yearn and you shall receive.
Beach House // Depression Cherry Need I say more? Beach House has been a dreamy go-to for me, for some time now. I'm just glad I can continue relishing in those feelings of washed out, sublime gold. Getaway: Sparks + PPP + 1899-12-31 + Space Song + Wildflower
Atlas Genius // Inanimate Objects Never thought I'd like their new sound as much as I thought I do now; I'm quite fond of Stockholm + The Stone Mill + Molecules + The Perfect End, to be quite frank!
SWINGING SINGLES:
Good grief I have just been listening to these two tracks on repeat, as soon as they emerged. Look out for Slum Sociable; it seems that even their first 2 debut tracks have taken the world by storm.
ELECTRONIC:
Another excellent electronica recommendation from Beni. (It seems I'll have to feature her on this space some time soon. A real Musical Muse, anyone?)
LOCAL TALENT:
These Triple J Unearthed High finalists are really something. Local, yes - but talented? Absolutely. I can't wait to they make more headlines and even have a couple live shows of their own. Good on them for getting so far ahead at our age. And I can say with pride: hey look, our local musical scene is outstanding, too!
BONUS/OTHER DISCOVERIES:
Cub Sport // just gives me all the unexplainable feels. I can't thank Beni enough for introducing to me amazing bands, time and time again. Feast your ears on: Hands + Paradise + Told You So
The Mowgli's // I'm Good Another immensely feel-good track - as you've guessed it, thanks to Beni. Exceptional for faking it till you make it.
Oceanics // (self-titled album) Broken Record by these fellas has held a special place in my heart, ever since I found it. I knew I had to find more of their work. So. I went digging (and I found the gold!): Gimme The Rush + Electric Heart + Outer Side + Broken Record + Know Your Story
Superhumanoids // Exhibitionists Now here's one I never thought I'd enjoy. But I do. Perhaps you will too. Appreciation on rotation: So Strange + Bad Weather + Geri + Free State
(As you may have noticed, I restarted my Soundcloud account @hiraethist. If you've got one, I'd love to know what it is!)
