Perth indie soul quartet Nectar have today released their debut EP ‘Love In Limbo’. 

The lush 3 track EP was produced by Sam Ford (Pond, Abbe May) at Tone City Recording Studio. They’ve released a number of singles in the past year including this year’s ‘Waiting On The World Won’t Work’, scoring playlist support from Spotify’s (Local Noise, Indie Arrivals). 

‘Love In Limbo’ features their new single ‘Pipe Dreams’, it’s a light hearted track centered around a hopeful thought of an attaining an utopia which seems to be ever so unattainable, with the band adding “we aren’t always pessimistic we promise, we know this is a dream many of us have and wish for! The themes of the song are really tied together with the cohesive instrumental changing moods from verse to chorus resolving on the point that all you can do is try to be your best self and to “take care”.

On this new EP the young 4 piece illustrate how their songwriting has evolved over this past year, going from strength to strength as they refine their silky jazz sound and aural personality with comparisons to Dope Lemon and Tame Impala.

 “Love in Limbo comes from a deep love of party games, Matt is flexible and wins limbo everytime, even though Jac, Jack and Judah do yoga every morning to keep up.” NECTAR

Their love of chilled vibes shines brightly on their debut EP.  It’s the perfect playlist for a Sunday afternoon, their storytelling punctuated with slow jam melodies. It was through a shared love of similar music that sowed the NECTAR seed. The band members have a parent or close relative who either teaches or plays music, inspiring their songwriting and musicality, including Jac’s sibling Stella Donnelly.

“The process is natural it comes from the heart, not in a cardio-vascular sense but a loving and passionate way, often times it will be a result of jamming out ideas that flow out of our fingertips, which is then structured under scrutiny of the honest and open minded brotherhood that is Nectar. Judah then goes home and writes lyrics to put the ‘icing on the cake’ ; he is quite the chef in the kitchen and the studio.” NECTAR

Nectar will celebrate the release of their debut EP Love In Limbo’ in Perth on October 28. 

They are also confirmed to perform at Nannup Music Festival 2023.

Indian Ocean Hotel, Scarborough, Perth, October 28 tickets

Supports: Hey Hannah, King Blue, Jamie Terry DJ (POND)

Gliding effortlessly between shades of psychedelia, neo-soul and indie soundscapes, Nectar are solidifying their position as one of Perth’s next big acts to keep a close eye on. The appeal of their music has been reflected in the band’s stats; with over 220K streams on Spotify alone, playlisting on Local Noise, Indie Arrivals, NMF (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland),  and a performance history that has seen Nectar excel as headliners and supports for artists including The Buoys and Keli Holiday. 

They have previously been playlisted on: triple j, triple j unearthed, RTR (including performing at the RTR Radiothon Festival),  FBi, 2ser, SYN, with press support from Pilerats, AAA Backstage, Broken 8 Records, X Press Mag and Life Without Andy to name a few. 

PRAISE FOR NECTAR

“I was only a minute in and I was already in liquid form. Rancho relaxo over at my place with nectar on the stereo.” Declan Byrne, triple j

“Introduce yourself to NECTAR, they’re a band you’re going to want to be watching in the year ahead.” Pilerats 

“The group claim to be putting out a little flavour, and they’re not lying.” 

X-Press magazine

“A tasty slow jam that sees the young four-piece flexing their musical muscles and drawing from the chilled vibes of Dope Lemon and Tame Impala, the new single is a gorgeous piece featuring soaring guest vocals from Ella Pilcher”  Broken 8 Records

“Nectar deliver a haze of psychedelic sweetness on ‘Waiting On The World (Won’t Work)’, the Moroo four-piece somehow managing to top the catchiness of last year’s ‘Plateau’ by leaps and bounds”  

Life Without Andy

Love In Limbo EP is out via Ingrooves on Friday, October 21

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds return with new single ‘Pretty Boy’

by the partae November 1, 2022
written by the partae
Listen Here / Watch Official Lyric Video Here

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds today release a brand new single – ‘Pretty Boy’ – the first to be revealed from Noel’s forthcoming studio album. Listen HERE.

‘Pretty Boy’ signals the beginning of a new creative chapter. Recorded at Noel’s own studio in London, Lone Star Sound, and co-produced with Paul ‘Strangeboy’ Stacey, it also features long-time friend and collaborator Johnny Marr on guitar.  Representative of Noel’s unique exploratory approach to songwriting, the track has an evocative vocal set amongst a hypnotic bassline, driving beats, high-energy riffs and instant hook.  Matching the sonic refinement of ‘Pretty Boy’ is a striking new lyric video. Watch HERE.

Speaking about the new track, Noel says:
“For this new record it was the first thing I wrote, the first thing I demoed and the first thing I finished, so it’s only right that it’s the first thing people get to hear. Massive shout out to my mainest man Johnny Marr for taking it somewhere special. Oh … and watch out for a cameo from me in the video … first one to spot me wins a bag of Flamin’ Hot Wotsits Giants!!”

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ previous studio album Who Built The Moon?, was released in 2017, charting at Number 1 in the UK Official Albums Chart on release. Noel has remained a restless creative and followed this with a series of three critically acclaimed multi-genre EPs. June 2021 saw the release of Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) – a career-defining Best Of celebrating a decade of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ richly diverse body of work. The album marked the band’s 4th consecutive Number 1 album, and the 12th Number 1 album across Noel’s prolific career.

This winter saw Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds complete a national UK tour of outdoor shows, culminating with an epic set on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage to one of the weekend’s biggest crowds.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ fourth studio album will be released next year, with further details to be revealed soon.

KIMBRA ANNOUNCES NEW PODCAST ‘PLAYING WITH FIRE’ FIRST 3 EPISODES WITH MITSKI, BETHANY JOY LENZ + JEDIDIAH JENKINS OUT NOW

by the partae November 1, 2022

ACCLAIM FOR KIMBRA

“Kimbra: confident, self-actualized star and feminist pop warrior”
Interview Magazine

“The pop anomaly has gone on to prove that she is more than just a feature,
but an all-around powerhouse on her own terms”

Office Magazine

“Kimbra Johnson has achieved chart success the old-fashioned way:
through sheer hard work”

Sydney Morning Herald

“An artist revelling in her broad creative capabilities as a vocalist,
songwriter, collaborator and producer
“
Double J

Two-time Grammy award winner Kimbra announces her new podcast ‘Playing With Fire‘ in partnership with TalkHouse. The new interview series will see Kimbra diving into deep and intimate conversations with fellow creatives. The first three episodes are out today and feature conversations with Mitski, Bethany Joy Lenz, and Jedidiah Jenkins. LISTEN HERE.

For the debut drop, Kimbra sits down with fellow artist Mitski to discuss primordial chaos as a catalyst for creativity and the power of error to lead them toward connection, with Lenz to chat about deconstructing old faith traditions, rebuilding ourselves in the light of our new experience and acting as an exercise in presence, and Jenkins discuss the weight of generous curiosity, stepping outside of exclusionary thinking and our society’s obsession with certainty.

Produced by Kimbra herself, ‘Playing With Fire‘ is a podcast that explores the topic of TRANSCENDENCE and how it manifests in people’s lives. Kimbra will ask a musician, an author, an actress, a priest and a best friend what transcendence means to them and how it has changed the way they live and work. For some, it’s found in the ecstatic, grand and psychedelic moments. For others, it’s hidden in the ordinary, and seemingly mundane. ‘Playing With Fire‘ is an exploration into the unknown, the intangible and the simply intoxicating path of seeking. Kimbra also explores her own experiences of transcendence, giving us further insight into her own process as a songwriter and producer.

The podcast launch comes on the heels of Kimbra’s upcoming album announcement – A Reckoning, set for release in 2023, which seeks to explore themes of vitality and aggression by channelling anger and protest, into forces for good. The album will highlight the role of the Feminine in restoring balance within all people, the planet and our internal reckoning with conflict. It is the story of a woman wrestling with the softness and strength within, and the search to integrate, assert and articulate the complexity of her experience.

This exploration of an inner world serves as a larger commentary on our need to ‘reckon’ with our own shadows before we can see change as a human collective. Perhaps a counter-narrative to the American dream, A Reckoning hints that our greatest tool toward peace, change and equality is the allowance of pain. It advocates the necessary and urgent belief that the Feminine in each of us and the mothering of one’s pain is the missing catalyst to rise.

Playing With Fire the podcast by Kimbra is out now, listen here.

‘Save Me‘ is out now, buy/stream it here.

Arches Releases ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’

by the partae November 1, 2022
written by the partae

Arches are Australia’s hottest new musical group boasting exciting genre-bending tunes, high-octane live shows, and a purposeful visual direction that is impossible to ignore. Comprised of Mason Rowley and Samuela Naborisi (now Meanjin | Brisbane based), Arches have already managed to stir an ecstatic hype around their music, leaving Australian listeners wanting more.

On October 21st Arches will be releasing their brand new single “Nothing Last Forever”. They wrote this song on a little writing trip when Sam and Mason rented a small airbnb on a farm in rural NSW. A lot of our mates had been going through breakups at the time so we thought we’d write this song for them. But it’s a harsh reality that we all have to face at some point. Not just in relationships and dating, but literally every human experience. Everything we have and will have comes and goes eventually, including us. So we wrote this song in honor of the human experience to remind us that really nothing lasts forever.

Both Far North Queensland raised and with Polynesian blood in their veins, Sam and Mason share a burning passion for musical performance and production. When Mason approached Sam in late 2021 and asked if he’d be interested in starting a new duo, neither of them had any idea that their skills and strengths would combine to make music so unique and exciting, the likes of which Australia has been dying to hear. Listen to any one of the Arches singles to date and you’ll instantly see what all the hype is about. Excellent production, stuck-in-your-head hooks, and left of field-arrangement, all while allowing pop their sensibilities to shine through. There’s no denying, Arches has something seriously special.

DJ Seinfeld announces exclusive Sydney/Eora headline show! Joined by moktar and IN2STELLAR

by the partae November 1, 2022
written by the partae
TICKETS HERE
Astral People & WAT artists proudly present… DJ Seinfeld

Sydney/Eora, you’re in luck! DJ Seinfeld is returning this coming January 2023 to bring us a night of unparalleled talent in Sydney’s Roundhouse. Joining him on the night will be two local heavy hitters, moktar and IN2STELLAR, for a night of sweat-inducing tunes.

DJ Seinfeld’s music exists in a gossamer haze, a true master of delicate and purposeful production. An unintentional figurehead of the lo-fi scene with deep influence and inspiration across electronic music as a whole.

The Swedish producer’s latest album ‘Mirrors’ released in 2021 brought his sound into sharp focus, receiving resounding critical acclaim, the record manages to exist in a space that is both optimistic and melancholic. Recorded between Berlin and Malmo, ‘Mirrors’ is the follow up to Seinfeld’s 2017 debut album ‘Time Spent Away From U’ and his first for Ninja Tune.

The fastidious attention to detail that goes into his production is mirrored in his sets. An equally calculated affair, every element of Seinfeld on stage is curated to perfection; expert selections woven seamlessly together where euphoria is the default, and this is exactly what he’ll be treating us to in an unmissable Roundhouse show this January.

Joining him on the night is Sydney fan favourite moktar. At a time that’s seeing a championing of more traditional instrumentation in dance music, moktar is at the forefront of this groundswell. Exploring techno and IDM through the lens of Arabic percussion and instrumentation, he is undoubtedly one of the country’s most exciting emerging artists.

Rounding off the lineup is Melbourne/Naarm powerhouse duo IN2STELLAR. Inspired by 90’s rave and jungle, futuristic electro sounds and breakbeat, they’ve made a name for themselves around the Melbourne scene. Cutting their teeth at the infamous (but sadly closed) Lounge club’s night ‘Lucid’, they’ve been a welcome addition to club and festival lineups all over the country.

Join us for a night of steamy dancing and impeccable tunes this January – see you in the place!

Perth’s CLAY WESTERN returns with ‘NOTHING LASTS’

by the partae November 1, 2022
written by the partae

Photo by: Myles Carrol

With a natural charisma that has endeared him to West Coast crowds over the last year, Perth indie-pop songwriter Clay Western now returns with gorgeous music in new single, ‘Nothing Lasts’.

Premiering with Backseat Mafia this week, the track follows on from ‘Stay High’ and ‘Shouldn’t Come Around’. Both songs earned Clay early praise with triple j, establishing the young WA artist as one to watch throughout 2022. To date, Clay’s music has garnered over 100,000 streams and has enjoyed playlisting and radio support from the likes of triple j and Spotify.

With ‘Nothing Lasts’, Clay Western further demonstrates his matured songwriting style and natural skills as a storyteller, all the while delivering the lyrics with a warmth and richness of tone.

Produced and engineered by San Cisco’s Jordi Davieson and Josh Biondillo out of their home studio in Fremantle, ‘Nothing Lasts’ was mixed by Clay Western’s close friend and longtime collaborator Dylan Ollivierre (The Money War), with mastering completed by Andrew Edgeson (Thelma Plum, Matt Corby) from Studios 301.

“I feel like ‘Nothing Lasts’ is as, if not more, relevant to me now than it was when I was first writing it. When we were writing the track, I was in a pretty volatile place. I was leaving everything I had become comfortable with in life and jumping into the unknown. From then through to the present, having moved to Byron and now Sydney within a four month period, I’ve learnt that you never know where life will take you. I feel like I’m learning to be comfortable living in the unknown. You have to throw yourself into situations and just hope for the best sometimes. These are the things I feel people grow from.”
CLAY WESTERN

As more new music waits on the horizon, Clay Western breaks open a new artistic chapter with the release of a song like ‘Nothing Lasts’ – it arrives, awash in stunning textures and a confidence in execution that can be heard throughout Clay’s work to date.

PRAISE FOR CLAY WESTERN

“Dripping with a delicious melancholia and framed by sky scraping choruses over an electronic thrum, this is a dynamic and heartening track that makes you simultaneously weep and laugh with joy.”
Backseat Mafia

“…dreamy but also driving. No time to stare up at the sky on this one, hands on the wheel!”
Triple J, Declan Byrne (‘Shouldn’t Come Around’, 2022)

“That beat just invites you to kick back and give into the message of this song! Love the warm and enveloping sounds in this one. Thanks Clay!”
Triple J Unearthed, Steph Hughes (‘Stay High’, 2021)

‘Nothing Lasts’ is out now.

Coco Elise talk about their debut ep, making music on GarageBand, and more

by the partae October 31, 2022
written by the partae

Where are you currently based?

We are currently based in Boorloo, Perth,, chillin.

How did you first start playing music?

I was given a guitar as a child, then was spoken to by the musical gods and learned my one true calling was to play music and with this, I began to write music. And with that, here we are. Welcome.

What’s been happening recently?

Music-wise we’ve started to really get into it, we’ve got a lot of new tunes we’re really excited about! We’ve just been playing a lot of shows and feeling them lows. We’ve also been a bit sad, and that’s not all bad. It’s important to feel as sad as possible when writing music so emotion can be successfully portrayed.

What influenced the sound and songwriting for your new single ‘Wish you’d show’?

Mainly Mac de Marco and Kate Bollinger, with a dash of Vampire Weekend. Big fan of how they can make such stripped back music sound so good.

How did you go about writing Wish you’d show and what does this track mean to you?

This track and “Sun may shine” were kind of written at the same time, Harry came over and did some Saxophone overdubs on a beat I came up with while Isaiah was asleep on the couch. Our old bass player Dan came around after and tracked some fantastic bass bits after. It’s by far our favourite song at the moment, and it’s a classic little love song. There’s definitely heaps out there, but they always mean the most to whoever’s making them!

Your debut EP is on the way, please tell us about your journey with this EP:

This EP has a special place in my head as it’s been completely produced and mixed in my room on GarageBand. Starting out I didn’t have too much to work with and I feel like a nice unique sound has come out of the process. I’ve been sitting on these tracks for a while, and was pretty unsure how they’d be received. We’ve had some awesome support lately, and it feels really good to get them out.

What can we expect?

Life. Thrills. Freedom.

Where and when did you record/produce/master and who did you work with?

All tracks were mastered with Gareth Henderson (thanks Gareth), everything else was done with the band in my bedroom.

How did you approach the recording process?

I usually just play around on the guitar or a synth and see if anything nice comes out of that, that’s usually the first step. Then I sing over whatever I have, and build everything else from there. Every song’s a little different!

Who are you listening to at the moment?

A lot of Kate Bollinger, and a local resurfaced band Butter who are just amazing.

What do you like to do away from music?

Play with animals, change the world, and inspire the generation to come.

What’s planned for 2022 going into 2023?

We’re absolutely loving playing live gigs around town, so we’ll keep doing that! We love reworking the songs for live performances, keep its really fun for us and hopefully people who come see us as well. We’ve got another EP ready to go as well, stay tuned…

Favourite food and place to hangout?

We love getting burgers at Flipside in Freo, and see whatever is going on at Mojo’s. Perhaps even have a nice beverage, if we’re feeling crazy.

Wet Denim

by the partae October 30, 2022
written by the partae

Where are you currently based?

We are currently based in Pōneke (Wellington, New Zealand)

How did Wet Denim form?

Brothers Joe and Jack (Bass & Drums) have been jamming together all their lives and have always wanted to be in a band together. After both moving to Wellington, it was the perfect opportunity to make this happen. Joe saw Nick perform at an open mic night a couple of months before the idea of Wet Denim came about, (and quickly forgot about him!). When it came time to fully assemble the band, Jack brought in his flatmate Luca on guitar and keys, and Joe finally remembered to ask Nick to join. 

What’s been happening recently?

Coming out of the gate in May, post Covid, we were hungry to play as many shows as we could. Over the next four 4 months we played 8 local shows in Wellington including some sold out headliners. During this time we were also working on recording our EP. In the more recent months, the live shows have been put on the backburner whilst we wrapped up the EP recording, and as we prepare for our final Wellington show in 2022.

How’s the NZ music scene at the moment?

The NZ music scene, more specifically the Welly live scene has been pumping since shows started again yearly this year. Everyone is super supportive of each other, going to each other’s shows, promoting music, it’s a real community vibe. 

Your latest single ‘Free’ is out on the 27th of October, what’s influenced the sound and songwriting?

All of the music we collectively listened to growing up has influenced our songwriting big time. This recent track takes quite a ‘Kings of Leon’ approach that we all froth! 

How did you go about writing ‘Free’?

At the start of 2021 Joe was playing around on the Logic Pro X recording software and came up with the first idea of ‘Free’ with the intro up until the first verse. When we had our first jam he showed everyone the idea and from there we formed the idea into a full song  – with Luca adding his sauce, Nick singing the melody and Jack driving the groove. And that’s what really grew our bond as a band. ‘Free’ was our very first song we finished.

Where and when did you record/produce/master and who did you work with?

Recording ‘Free’ began in Joe’s bedroom and then was taken to Avalon studios where we worked with Shaan Singh and Ben O’Leary, who helped us take the track from a demo to a release quality track.  ‘Free’ was mixed by Neil MacLeod and  mastered by Chris Chetland at KOG Studios.

How did you approach the recording process?

As mentioned before, the original demo of ‘Free’ was the fruits of Joe working away in his bedroom studio. We developed the ideas whilst jamming which Shaan and Ben then helped us track into the song. 

What do you most enjoy about touring NZ?

We haven’t got there yet, but we have a few shows and festivals over summer that are outside of Pōneke that we are super excited for!

Who are you listening to at the moment?

We are really loving the music that is coming out of Wellington at the moment. Arjuna Oaks, Haven, Mikeyy, Frank on Tap, and Revulva are a few of our faves. 

What do you like to do away from music?

Jack and Luca are both designers, visual and spatial respectively, which takes up a bunch of their time, Nick is right into his fitness and Joe has nothing else going for him.

Favorite food and place to hangout?

We love to hang at Raglan Roast Cafe and sip on their yummy yummy brew. 

What’s planned for the remainder of 2022 going into 2023?

We have just recently released our second single ‘Free’. On November 17th we have our first headlining show at San Fran which will act as a taster for our EP set for release in December. We have a soggy summer lined up where we will be stretching our legs and taking our EP outside of the capital. You can catch us at Cape Estate on Boxing Day, Outfield Festival, and 121 Festival. Yeooooww!

Powerhouse Asian Female Producers – RayRay and JVNA, Join Forces for Their Emotive but Hard-Hitting Bilingual Collaboration “Butterfly” From RayRay’s Forthcoming Debut Album “Unearthly World.” “Butterfly” is Out Now on Barong Family

by the partae October 30, 2022
written by the partae

Artists: RayRay & JVNA
Title: Butterfly
Label: Barong Family

Download / Stream

RayRay teams up with JVNA for a stunning collaboration – “Butterfly” from RayRay‘s upcoming debut album, making for a union of two killer females, originally hailing from Taiwan RayRay and US-born Taiwanese JVNA. The single showcases both artists’ talents perfectly, from JVNA‘s and RayRay‘s dreamy singing performances to both future bass and melodic trap production prowess. Opening with sultry, breathy vocals and an ominous bassline, “Butterfly” starts with an ethereal feel and blossoms into a drop featuring serrating synths and deep bass undertones that give it an edge. The mixture of feminine emotiveness and unquestionable sonic confidentiality makes the track an unusual creation where the lyrics are sung in English and Mandarin. RayRay and JVNA‘s collaboration is out now on Yellow Claw‘s Barong Family imprint and will also be featured on RayRay‘s forthcoming debut album “Unearthly World.” Read on what both artists have to say about their new release:

“One of my favorite songs on the album. It’s definitely a unique combination between me and JVNA. I’ve wanted to work with her for a very long time. She is such an inspiring person. It’s very interesting and fun to blend her airy music sound with my hard trap elements together. We started making this song in July 2021 last year and actually came up with the vocals first. Be strong and brave, and eventually, you will be like a butterfly emerging from the cocoon. This is also the experience we have been learning as artists. Life isn’t a bed of roses, and there are a lot of obstacles. However, as long as you pull it through, you will become a beautiful butterfly. It’s also a tribute to our friends and fans in Taiwan and Asia.” – RayRay

“I wrote ‘Butterfly‘ with RayRay wanting to write a track that felt empowering to both of us. As female producers/DJs we’ve bonded over our experiences of being in a male-dominated industry and the feeling of needing to prove ourselves constantly. This song is about taking a leap of faith in pursuing our dreams, becoming the person we want to become, and succeeding in our goals. When RayRay and I initially met, we clicked instantly. She is one of the few friends I have in the industry to whom I can relate and talk about the similar struggles and experiences we have in our work field.” – JVNA

RayRay has landed loudly and exploded onto the international dance scene in the past few years. With gigs at major festivals like Glastonbury, ADE, Tomorrowland, Sonar, and Arcadia, and her purple hair as her signature look. She cemented her status in the scene as a Red Bull Thre3style competition winner and through a series of studio sessions with artists such as Skrillex, Yellow Claw, Steve Aoki, and Atmozfears. All that while honing and training her vocals with voice professionals. After being named on Beatport’s HOT 100 Future Bass/Trap Top 10 List in 2016, her work ethic and signature sound caught the ears of Yellow Claw, who brought RayRay on tour in 2019 and quickly signed her to a management deal and to the Barong Family where she released three EPs: “Purple Alien” and “Alien Invasion” and 2021’s Brand New EP “Alien Mutation.” RayRay‘s new home on the Dutch imprint has gotten her name on feverish demand, and today she tours her signature sound all over the globe, creating seismic experiences for her newfound fans. With releases on Spinnin’ Records, Protocol Recordings, Dim Mak, as well as releases on Tiësto‘s label Musical Freedom to follow. Despite the pandemic, 2020 and 2021 didn’t slow her down one bit. With the dance scene at a standstill, RayRay started her live streaming channel on Twitch in early 2020 and, within a year, became the top Twitch “Live Music” Streamer, according to IMS Business report. During the same period landing a residency on Tiesto‘s Musical Freedom Sirius XM Radio show. 2021 saw her release EPs “Lasergun” with Yellow Claw, “Pump It Up” with Moksi, and “Where Are My Friends” with Sihk, to name a few. Needless to say, RayRay‘s spaceship is rocketing across the stars and doesn’t seem to slow down anytime soon.

California-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist JVNA produces electronic music that plays at the dichotomy of light and dark, bass and melody, organic and synthetic. Raised by Taiwanese immigrants, JVNA studied classical piano from the age of 6 and started writing songs when she was 11. Her studies continued at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where she learned to score films and video games. Initially, JVNA made fun edits and remixes of her favorite anime and video game soundtracks; her take on MapleStory‘s “Login Theme” caught fire on the internet, earning half a million views in 24 hours. Her 2018 song “I’m With You,” inspired by her father’s death two years earlier, dared to dive deep into an emotional world. JVNA self-directed the song’s music video. The Follow-up single “Catch Me,” released in 2019, took JVNA on a sold-out tour across the United States. Due to the pandemic, it was canceled, and JVNA returned to the studio to focus on the album’s production. She pushed herself to incorporate more live keys, piano, and organic textures. In 2021 JVNA released her debut studio album – “Hope In Chaos,” which is a diverse collection of styles featuring JVNA‘s voice like it’s never been heard before, opening up about so much more than the standard dance floor love songs.

Emerging Australian Artist WILL K and Dutch Trio Drove Team Up For Club-Driven House Single “Ghost” on Monstercat

by the partae October 30, 2022
written by the partae

Following his chart-topping single “Flip Reset” with Kaskade and this year’s “I Don’t Really Care” with Neville, Australian house producer WILL K returned to Monstercat today, joining forces with Dutch electronic group Drove for the evocative single “Ghost.” The addictive groove, hypnotizing pads, and dreamy bassline are sonically reminiscent of fellow Aussie tastemakers like Cassian and Rüfüs Du Sol, yet distinctively driven by WILL’s eccentric artistry. Aptly titled just ahead of Halloween, the velvety vocals and dark chords make for a haunting heartbreak anthem.

WILL K shares, “Drove and I knew we had to make a record together as a lot of our fans kept tagging us together on social posts! After sending a few ideas back and forth, I came across the vocal of “Ghost” and knew it was something special, and I wanted to bring a Rüfüs Du Sol-inspired/moody vibe with the production.”

Drove adds, “The song itself is about coping with having to let go of someone after a breakup. Lyrically we tried to describe situations in which you realise the most of what you’re missing in your life. That someone you were so close to now feels like a stranger to you.”

For nearly a decade, WILL K has been climbing the electronic circuit with dominating dancefloor hits, including his recent track “OoooH” with CID, which went to #2 on Beatport and saw support from Steve Aoki, Alesso, Nicky Romero, and many more. After headline tours in Australia and Asia, he’s performed across the world’s biggest festival stages including Tomorrowland, Creamfields, and Parookaville. As he continues to take his project to new heights, expect more genre-pushing from WILL K in the months to come.

Dream Dali Release Debut Album ‘Letters From The Light’

(Tone Deaf – Community Radio Top Picks) [About ‘Wicked Sunday’]

Stream ‘Letters From The Light’

Brisbane/Meanjin’s darkwave psychedelic outfit Dream Dali delivers their sincere-sounding debut album, ‘Letters From The Light’ (October 28).

Dream Dali have opened the gates to purgatory with their three latest trance-inducing singles: ‘Rosary’, ‘Wicked Sunday’ and ‘Wandering’. Following their performance at BIGSOUND festival in 2019, Dream Dali have released their debut EP and have seen support from notable media outlets Pilerats, Tone Deaf, Music Feeds, Livewire and AAA Backstage, building anticipation for this dynamic and refined debut album.

‘Letters From The Light’ features Dream Dali’s latest releases and the reverb-drenched guitars, modulated synths and atmospheric percussion that comes along with them. The opening track, ‘Let Love In’, explores the elusive and mysterious nature of love and investigates the deeper elements that underpin it. The lagging fluid drums and guitars are paired with smooth, rising vocals leaving room for ethereal synth leads.

The following tracks ‘Rosary’ and ‘Wandering’ pick up the pace of the album with the darkwave 80s sound that Dream Dali is characterised by. These tracks incorporate retro drums and a shoegazed atmosphere to explore thoughts hidden in one’s subconscious whilst stuck in a back alley club or a shipping container somewhere in the outskirts of the city.

‘Hold Me Down’ and ‘I Haven’t Slept’ explore feelings of distrust and question the words of a reassuring lover, asking yourself; is this help or are these empty words of self-righteousness and obliviousness?

Moving forward, ‘She Wants’, ‘Without A Soul’ and ‘Caught Beneath’ portray the feelings of heartbreak after the end of a relationship where everything you had was given. The pieces are on the floor, and the hazy gaze blinds your vision, but you give everything you can–this is the feeling encapsulated in ‘Letters From The Light’. The album ends with Dream Dali’s well-received single ‘Wicked Sunday’, and a final atmospheric darkwave experience, ‘Being Or Becoming’.

‘Being or Becoming’ experiments with various synth sounds and modulated guitars to create a menacing, yet trance-inducing atmosphere that explores the question: are we in the moment, or are we waiting for when we are? Each instalment of ‘Letters From The Light’ dives into the subconscious whilst creating music free of creative restrictions. This artistic purism is devoid of the fear of judgement and truthfully explores coming to terms with your own values and beliefs.

Delving into the dire undertones of their dreamy debut album, Aldous Emerson provides us with their synopsis on ‘Letters From The Light’:

“This album is a cumulative effort of passion from over five years of work. Whilst some of the songs have been created within the last year in an impulsive and instinctive manner, this album represents the essence of Dream Dali and what we have worked towards conceptually within the last few years.

The songs on this album represent a deep dive and exploration into the subconscious and at the same time experimenting with the impulsive and instinctual nature of creative freedom without judgement.

‘Letters From The Light’ can be a book, a thought, a hope, a sudden sadness, bit overall a genuine attempt at real feelings and expression”

Building momentum with each release, Dream Dali has dazed heads at Music Feeds, Tone Deaf, Pilerats, Aus Music Scene and Australian Musician. Their atmospheric marches have been played on domestic and international community broadcasts such as 4ZZZ, 2SER, idobi Anthem (US), The Most (NZ) and many more.

Dream Dali’s debut album, ‘Letters From The Light’ is set to drop everywhere on October 28.

Synth-Pop Sensation PRISCILLA Delight With Their New Single ‘Lose Control’

Previous Support For PRISCILLA

“surging, sparkling and stylish pop that’ll have you out of breath by the end.” 4 / 5
(Declan Byrne, Triple J) 
[About ‘Dance Through The Night’]

“the electro-pop sound of the future” (Purple Sneakers) 

“It’s a song that’s rich with emotional intelligence and personal growth, witnessing Priscilla evolve from their experiences through heart-gripping lyricism and dynamic instrumentation” 
(Pilerats) [About ‘Dance Through The Night’]

‘Dance Through The Night’ – Wild One on ABC Rage

‘Follow’ added to Spotify’s Out Now Playlist

Stream ‘Lose Control‘

Proving once again that they’re “the electro-pop sound of the future” (as heralded by Purple Sneakers), Boorloo/Perth-based duo PRISCILLA are set to release another incredible sensory smash. Titled ‘Lose Control’, this next track will be out on Oct 28, and stuck on repeat ever after.

Debuting in 2018, and with 7 singles already under their belt, PRISCILLA have set the stage for The Presets, Wafia, San Cisco, Haiku Hands, ALPINE, and Woodes, and played at a multitude of festivals along the WA coastline.

Climbing to greater heights seems inevitable for PRISCILLA, and ‘Lose Control’ is set to take them there.

In ‘Lose Control’, P Gardner’s voice gracefully carries the track’s plea for surrender straight to the heart, powerfully punctuated by synth bursts that beat alongside. The pared back verses hold ample space, welcoming the glittery cascades of Luke Minness’ twinkly production and granting them attention to oscillate and catch the light. It’s easy to picture a packed dancefloor or sweaty festival crowd dancing along in a powerful moment of euphoric bliss, a vision that will soon become a reality.

‘Lose Control’ is angry at the world, but celebratory of the strength found in community and the euphoria that can be experienced when surrounded by people who affirm and understand. P states:

“Feeling at home in your own environment, taking up space, or feeling safe in your own body are some things that others may take for granted because they have never had to think about it. Not all of us get to experience a secure sense of feeling comfortable and safe enough to completely let go, lose control, and be ourselves without fear of the external consequences coming from hateful and loveless places.”

PRISCILLA have already been given the nod from plenty of industry insiders, including but not limited to Triple J, Triple J Unearthed, Purple Sneakers, RAGE, Pilerats, FROOTY, RTR FM, 2RRR, 4ZZZ, Radio Adelaide. PRISCILLA’s track ‘Follow’ featured on Spotify’s ‘Out Now’ pride playlist, has been streamed 130K times and ‘Dance Through the Night’ earned the group their 4th consecutive year of WAM nominations, this time for (Pop) Song of the Year 2022.

The duo are looking ahead to summer when they are set to support The Veronicas during the Summer Festival at the Ice Cream Factory on December 2 and launch their single at Fremantle Arts Centre on December 11.

Catch the latest hit from PRISCILLA, ‘Lose Control’ when it’s out on Oct 28.

Out now The Grogans WHICH WAY IS OUT album + Which Way Is Out Exhibition at Record Paradise Melbourne

by the partae October 28, 2022
written by the partae

“We’re not exactly sure WHICH WAY IS OUT but, when it comes to The Grogans, we’re definitely all in.” – Bryget Chrysfield, Beat Magazine.

“Good vibes all round soundtrack to take with you on the road, the beach…anywhere!” – Claire Mooney, Triple J

“It’s high time you familiarised yourself with these future stars.” – Live At Your Local

Artist: The Grogans
Album: WHICH WAY IS OUT
Release Date: Friday 28 October
Label: Cousin Will Records

The wait is finally over for Melbourne’s genre bending trio The Grogans’ third studio album WHICH WAY IS OUT, out Friday 28 October via Cousin Will Records. An album encompassing the trio’s legacy of lucrative, finger-on-the-pulse songwriting, combining their love of a past aesthetic with a modern day twist. After a busy year with two national tours, and their first run of international shows in New Zealand, The Grogans are finishing off their ‘No Thanks (I’m Going To See The Grogans)’ tour with a sold out release day show plus extra shows added at HABA in Rye, and an album exhibition at Record Paradise on Sunday 6 November.

WHICH WAY IS OUT was based around a similar workflow we have taken on previous releases. The idea of going away to write/record has been the best way for us to completely be involved in the project. I think it allows us to step back from the other responsibilities in our life for just a minute and set our minds on one thing at a time – Quin Grunden, The Grogans

Out on indie record shelves now, WHICH WAY IS OUT seamlessly blends the genre borderlines between heavy, cruisy, and acoustic tracks to create a fresh twist on the classic Grogans sound. The work is bookended by themes of friendship, beginning with the trio’s anthem ‘Bugs’ – “If I’m alright, I got you by my side, now I’m alright” and coming full circle for ‘Lucky Enough’, a track simply about the love of the band and their beautiful community. Meandering through the material, The Grogans explore the depths of their expanding genres, with singles ‘Inside My Mind’ and punk wrapped love song ‘Be Your Man’, alongside reverb drenched ‘Blurred Vision’, and singles ‘Just A Kid’ and ‘No Thanks (I’m Going Surfing) going back to their surf-rock roots. Gritty ballad ‘Le Fangz’ delves into the story of an imaginary creature, while ‘Who Knows’ touches on the existential overwhelm and intensity of the world we find ourselves in, and one take track ‘Take It Or Leave It’ sees the boys taking life day by day.

“We have said it before but I think it’s something we will have to say as long as we are putting out records, that being our desire to keep trying to force ourselves out of a specific ‘ one genre band’ and explore new ideas within the sound that we have developed  so far.”  – Quin Grunden, The Grogans

The album has deliveredsuccessful singles ‘Just A Kid’, ‘Be Your Man’, ‘No Thanks (I’m Going Surfing)’, and ‘Inside My Mind’, collectively added to Spotify’s New Music Friday AU & NZ, Fresh Finds AU & NZ, Rock Out, and Local Noise playlists, plus music video adds on Rage and MTV.  This latest release, WHICH WAY IS OUT, deploys an extensive variety of stylistic influences with cohesion and conviction, from Angus’ punctuated guitar riffs and and Jordan’s propelling rhythms, with Quin’s viscous vocals, as the tracks range from reverb drenched chants to honeyed croons.

Sunday 6 November The Grogans will host a WHICH WAY IS OUT exhibition at Melbourne’s Record Paradise presented by Cousin Will Records. Come and immerse yourself in all things Grogans from 11am – 5pm, with prints from NEWKINGJARDINE, vinyl, exclusive merch, and free beer, set to the sounds of their albums, old and new.

LEER shine on their dazzling and club ready debut EP ‘Optimize’

by the partae October 28, 2022
written by the partae

BUY/STREAM: LEER – OPTIMIZE EP

Sydney-based LEER, made up of Lachlan Henderson and Tom Eady, have been on the rise in the electronic music scene for some time. With a handful of epic releases under their belt they have revealed their anticipated debut EP ‘Optimize’, out now via Sweat It Out. Expanding beyond the roots of electronic dance, the 5 track body of work demonstrates the duo’s work ethic as staunch producers, whose mastery in creating immersive soundscapes is evident throughout the extended play.

Opening up about the release, LEER shares “The EP marks the start to our creative journey and encapsulates our growth over the last year. Starting with a bunch of bedroom club bangers we developed our sound and the result is sick. We’re stoked with this being our first official body of work and can’t wait to play it out!”

The project begins with their impactful debut single ‘Friends (Feat. fio)’. Released in May of this year, the track boasts a bouncy baseline infused with fio’s sultry vocals making for the perfect euphoric dance floor filler. Second in the project is cinematic title track ‘Optimize’, which finds the producers reaching new heights sonically, laying down the groundwork with a classic electro sound atop smooth instrumentation and mixed with energetic synth stabs. This cool club track packs a hard punch while keeping listeners revelling in the sublime reality of it all.

The spellbinding ‘Back to Back (Feat Woodes)’ follows as the third track in the project. The tantalsing club anthem sees the duo-branch out into elements of techno and house, among other sub-genres all while retaining all the key elements that make LEER’s productions so addictive. Next up is ‘You Get Me’ with a driving foundation of downtempo rhythms and instrumental electronica charged with airy distorted vocal intermissions. This hard hitter is sure to feature at a warehouse rave near you soon. The duo closes out the EP with ’Runna’ which cements the duo’s reputation as purveyors of deep club cuts. LEER’s unique production style is on full show with this infectious melody you’ll be replaying in your mind all day. Both Lachlan and Tom showcase their talents in tandem throughout ‘Optimize’, beautifully weaving a package that remains otherworldly.

DJ and producer duo, LEER burst onto the scene earlier this year parading their way around a club hook, by crafting magnetic bass lines over cascading synthesisers and transfixing drops. Releasing ‘Friends (Feat. fio)’ and ‘Back To Back (Feat Woodes)’ in the lead up to the EP release, the two have received a tremendous amount of support from some of the most prominent in the industry including Music Feeds, The Music Network, Acid Stag and triple j’s Dave Ruby Howe noting the “silky vocal that goes over the top of a dark and deep production. That’s a winning combo in my books.” LEER continue to demonstrate their strength in production prowess as their discography grows. Having already released an official remix of Crooked Colours’s hit single ‘Light Year (Feat. Masked Wolf)’ as well as playing a coveted support slot for Aussie indie dance legends alongside PRICIE, Annie Bass and Mazy for Great Southern Nights at Metro Theatre in association with Sweat It Out, LEER continue to go from strength to strength. With only a modest handful of tracks to their name so far, LEER’s debut EP, ‘Optimize’, not only provides an insight into the pair’s unique creative landscape but also forecasts a dazzlingly bright future ahead of them.
