| RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘ADDY’ (FEAT. SEVY)
TAKEN FROM UPCOMING MIXTAPE GLYPH
|
Bridget Allan is back with a funky new single called ‘Lifeline’. This song is about having degrading mental health, but having a partner that is helping you through it. It also talks of the help a community can have to the personal sique. Inspired by Hiatus Kaiyote’s new album and the funky basslines of BENEE, Bridget is picking up the energy and is not afraid to do some vocal riffing with new-found confidence. This track dabbles in the styles of r&b, soul, pop, indie pop and jazz fusion. This piece was mixed by Calvin Lauber who is most known for his work with Julien Baker.
Bridget Allan is an indie/jazz-influenced singer-songwriter from the Mornington Peninsula. She is currently studying a Bachelor of Music at the University of Melbourne, specialising in Interactive Composition. She makes all her music on the lands of the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation.

What is your name and role within the band?
Hey, I’m Luke and I’m the lead singer.
Where are you currently based?
We’re currently based in Sydney.
How did miloviti form?
miloviti actually started as a solo project initially but I found John (drums) and Ben (guitar) and we got along so well we made an official band. We played together for a year and then 2 years ago we found Jianne (bass) and clicked.
What’s been happening recently?
We’ve been in lockdown so we haven’t been able to see each other for a few months now and we’ve just been writing and recording and communicating online.
Your new single ‘allnight’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
We take inspiration for different parts of our music and just kinda put it all together. The beat for the verse is inspired by The Weeknd and RnB with some syncopated 80’s pop ballad toms that are also used in a lot of modern RnB. The verse guitar is kind of reminiscent of Creed – Arms Wide Open as well as the big dreamy Rock vocal chorus at the end which is inspired by 80’s/90/s Rock ballads. Then the Chorus guitar is inspired by Coldplay – Up&Up so we’ve got a lot of random influences that create our sound.
How does the current nostalgia and longing for friends under Sydney lockdown resonate with ‘allnight’?
‘allnight’ is about basically about remembering late nights spent with a loved one or friends staying up until dawn. I haven’t been able to see the rest of my band who are also my best friends so it’s been really tough. Makes me think very fondly and nostalgically to the past.
How did you go about writing ‘allnight’?
When I first started writing ‘allnight’ I always knew it was a vibe but it started off with a very different beat behind it and John (drums) just hated it haha so we dropped the song for a while. It wasn’t until I got really inspired by The Weeknd one day and came up with a more syncopated R&B beat for the verses that it really started to take on a life of its own. Ben, our guitarist, then came up with the flourishing explosion of guitar for the chorus and we knew this song was going to be something really special.
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who with?
We’ve been recording the tracks ourselves for about a year now and then we got Jack Nigro to mix it for us and Leon Zervos to master for us.
How did you approach the recording process?
We’ve been recording ourselves for a while now especially due to the original lockdowns so it was important for us to still be able to record on our own.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
I am in looooove with Concrete Jungle Fever by Jerome Farah. I’ve been listening to that on repeat!
What do you like to do away from music?
In lockdown I love getting some sun and going for walks along the coast. I’ve also been writing a lot.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2021 going into 2022?
We’re in the process of finalising our next single so we’ll release that at the end of the year and then move onto another single we have lined up as well for the start of next year.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
We loooove Sun Tat Chinese Restaurant in Strathfield. We’ve been going there as a band for a few years now and the owner Mary is so so lovely so it’s very nostalgic for us.
What’s been happening since we last caught up?
Been in another stage 4 lockdown, which I didn’t think would happen again, oh well! I’ve also been writing heaps of music and rewatching Breaking Bad.
The guitar playing is definitely inspired by the sassy techniques of Nai Palm, and the meandering/wailing vocals are inspired by Jeff Buckley and Florence Welch, as always.
I can’t even really remember, it was late at night I sitting in bed with my guitar. And then I posted a snippet of the song to Tiktok that night and I listened back the next day and was like “hey, that’s not half bad.”
I recorded with Chris Zeng at Fresh Entertainment studios, and it was mixed by Calvin Lauber, most known for his work with Julien Baker (who I am a huge fan of). I love all the magic work Calvin does for the songs of mine he mixes, always comes out better than I could’ve ever imagined.
Fresh Entertainment was very gracious in offering us this studio time as a part of their ‘Mixtape’ of local Mornington Peninsula/Frankston Council artists. You should definitely check that out!
I went in with my partner/bassist Marlon Cini and we recorded with Chris Zeng who was new to the Fresh program, we all worked together so well and it was a tiring but super fun day. That was also the day I recorded my Mojo Pin (by Jeff Buckley) cover which is out aswell.
We used this super moody “Coral Reef” synth and electronic drum sounds that I found mucking around the days before, and also I play my Gretch hollow-body guitar and Marlon used his Fender precision bass.
It’s quite a personal one about mental health struggles, but also the light at the end of the tunnel. And also realising human connection is how I get myself out of dark patches.
I am ADORING Hiatus Kaiyote’s new album ‘Mood Vailant’, I am obsessed with every song, especially ‘Chivalry is Not Dead’.
Working on my Bachelor of Music, and working on a new EP.
A “famous singer” of course!

The track is accompanied by a video directed by Taylor Mansfield, the latest in a series of music videos the pair have collaborated on in the run-up to the mini-album, following ‘Honey’ (recently BBC Radio 1 Introducing’s track of the week) and ‘You Cut Me So Much Slack’. The video expands on the themes of the song, namely loss and how to move on after tragedy, as Molly explains; “The video shows me coming back out from the inner chaos in Slack into the ‘real world’ after the relationship has ended. When you end things with someone it can often feel like you see them in everything, and in the video you see him popping up in every room of the house – I can’t escape him. From there it slips back and forth between reality and fever-dreamish scenarios like an anxiety dream come to life.”
Molly’s mini-album follows her breakout EP Porcupine, released last Autumn to wide critical acclaim, including Pigeons & Planes, Dork, The Line of Best Fit, Steve Lamacq at 6Music and Jack Saunders at BBC Radio 1. It also caught the ears of fellow artists, including Arlo Parks, who chose Molly to appear alongside her takeover of Spotify’s ‘Our Generation’ playlist, commenting of Molly’s music “there was just this sense of rawness and earnestness that really reminded me of things that I’ve lived myself.”
The upcoming project’s genesis came from a return to Molly’s birthplace of New Zealand. Originally intended to be a short stay, her time in New Zealand was extended as UK lockdowns prevailed. As well as spending time with the friends and places she left as a teenager, it also fuelled her resolution to reconnect with the memories and tribulations of her past, and process them through her songwriting. Revolving around the adage of looking back in order to move forward, she describes her coming output as “honest, reflective and hopeful.” Her time back home also allowed her to rediscover the catharsis of playing live, with Molly performing a series of full-capacity headline gigs against the backdrop of New Zealand’s low Covid rates and eased restrictions.
Molly Payton’s first offering came in the form of her debut EP Mess, which was co-produced with Oscar Lang, who she met at her new school soon after relocating to the UK at age 16. This was followed up by 2020s Porcupine, which saw her strike up a new songwriting partnership with producer Oli Barton-Wood, embracing a fuller sound, a direct reflection of her contemporary experiences in London and changing tastes. Praised for her evocative lyricism and evolved songwriting, Slack compromises none of her edge, yet is set to offer a more personal look into the workings of the young songwriter, and forecasts bright things as she returns to London.
‘When Skies Were Always Blue’ is out now, buy/stream it here.

‘Country’ evokes a feeling as universal as it is instantly understood, with lines such as “You know that I’m incapable of changing / Some people just get stuck in their ways / Never thought it’d be me like this / I was meant to be brave,” that see Parsons deliver a vocal performance comparable to Brandon Flowers and Dave Le’aupepe, with lyrics just as authentic and meditative. Visually, ‘Country‘ is brought to life against a recurring backdrop of Liam’s childhood, the 1st Eltham Scouts Hall. “I was always too embarrassed to admit that I was a scout to my school friends, the same way I was too embarrassed to admit that I got piano lessons. Both of those things are ridiculous. Scouts is cool and so are piano lessons” he shares.
Good Morning are rulebreakers. Not in a sexy, flamboyant way – more in a casual, resigned kind of way. Accidental and incidental rulebreakers. The creation and release of their sixth album, Barnyard, is the result of a process of patient refinement and the breaking of a couple of self-imposed rules. Thoughtful, catchy, idiosyncratic, and nearly twice the average length of their back catalogue, it’s all the things one might love about Good Morning, this time around presented with the fat trimmed and the edges sharpened. Recorded at Wilco’s famed studio The Loft, for the first time in a long time the record was made with the help of an outside engineer and will see an international release on a record label not operated by a friend, but instead, Polyvinyl, joining the likes of Alvvays, Julia Jacklin, STRFKR, Kero Kero Bonito and more. A milestone in the history of the band it’s also their most meditative record, thoughtful and careful in its evocations. Not too little and not too much, it’s just right – just Good Morning.

Mulholland Drive, the fourth studio album from Idris Vicuña’s Eyedress project, showcases the Filipino producer/singer’s latest evolution in his approach to off-kilter electronic pop. The new project features a wide range of collaborators while always staying true to Vicuña’s vision—including King Krule, synth-funk icon DāM-FunK, Vex Ruffin, Dent May and more.
The 15 songs featured on the album are Vicuña’s most realised yet and embrace positivity as well as the wondrousness of life itself.
The new album builds on the sustained excitement surrounding his 2020 album Let’s Skip to the Wedding, which has continued to reach new heights since its release. The album has broken into U.S Billboard’s Heatseeker’s Albums Chart at #17 behind the viral success of hit singles “Jealous“, which has been featured in over 5 million videos on TikTok, and “Romantic Lover” which exploded on TikTok and streaming platforms recently, entering at #22 on Rolling Stone’s Trending 25 chart and peaking at #26 on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart in the US.
To date in Australia, single Jealous is at 8.2M streams / views on Spotify, Apple Music and Youtube combined.
Sydney is No.9 on Eyedress’s Top 20 cities for Spotify streams around the world with 44,276 listeners per month.
Melbourne is No.13 with 36,504 listeners per month.
Today, Canadian Country Artist Sarah Wickett, released the music video for her new ‘Desi Pop-Country tune “Momma’s Boy”.
“Momma’s Boy” was filmed in Sarah’s hometown, Beaverton, Ontario, and brought to life with the help of Barmilan Films. The music video captures the realities of being in an interracial relationship, and follows the story of two couples struggling to stay together, dealing with cultural differences, family expectations, and interfering mothers!
“The music video showcases interracial couples capturing two completely different relationships, but despite the difference, the couples are facing the same issue – their inteferring mothers. I sing about a very relatable experience which transcends cultural boundaries, in a way that also transcends musical genres,” said Sarah.
After moving from Beaverton to Toronto to enroll in the Journalism program at Humber College, Sarah became immersed in the musical city, fueling her determination to pursue her dream of making it in the music industry. Shortly after, she turned her dream into a reality and released her self-titled EP, launching her into the country music scene, and earning her showcases at Canadian Music Week and the 2017 Canadian Country Music Awards. This led to her sharing the stage with other well known artists such as Bobby Wills and Wes Mack, and performances at incredible venues including The Opera House, Casino Rama, and festivals all across Ontario.
Sarah continued to release more music, including two of her most successful songs to date, ‘What We Do’ and ‘Accent’, which earned over 300,000 streams in 2020. She continued to push the envelope in 2021, releasing the singles; ‘Potential’ and ‘Two Feet’. She was also named the Ontario Artist of the Month by the Country Music Association.
Tim Green’s special 8-track compilation album ‘In New Light’ on his brand new label ‘For A Memory’, celebrates his 15 years of releases. Nine artist friends and contemporaries remix their favourite tracks from Tim’s back catalogue. The result is a rich and lively diversity, both within the LP and compared to the originals.
Fifteen years of releasing music is a milestone for any artist; but through his career, Tim has established himself as a truly talented and chameleonic producer, creating emotive, genre-spanning cuts on labels like All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, Cocoon Recordings (his acclaimed debut LP ‘Her Future Ghost’). He’s also remixed Friendly Fires, Paul McCartney, Cassius, Booka Shade, further underlining his abilities as a multi-faceted producer, whilst still amassing millions of streams on Spotify/DSPs, plus securing the top spot in Beatport’s Organic House category; from artists and tastemakers, to the mainstream, Tim’s success continues to grow.
Her Future Ghost (Dave DK Remix): the remix adds a bounding beat and more vocals, half-heard dialogues adding a surreal edge to the dreamy subtle melodies of the original. By contrast, Curious Smile (Alejandro Mosso Remix) eschews the strong vocal and lyrics of the original, substituting pizzicato notes and swoony, zoomy synths with Laurie Anderson feel.
New Life (Lost Desert Remix): Lost Desert, Lee Burridge’s compadre on their shared album, brings an upbeat vibe to Green’s signature interplay of complex synth chords, the hop and skip beat pattern keeping feet moving. Dodjo (Amonita Remix) has pure pianoesque melody and breathy vocals while chords from what sounds almost like progressive rock guitar sweep in dramatically.
Among Wolves (Volen Sentir Remix), the forthcoming single: RA top rankers, Russian duo Anjei and David inject a jazzier feel to the original’s raindrop piano and more portentous synth chords, with a brisk beat and an ocean-floor-deep bass riff.
Over The Water (Tim Green & Izhevski Remix) goes for sustained vocal notes behind the beat as fanfares of horns raise the temperature, with a tranquil interlude in the breakdown. The Incident (Mathew Jonson & Quenum Remix) is a conversation you can dance to, with plangent notes in call and response mode. In Colliding (Janus Rasmussen Remix), Reykjavik’s Rasmussen also opts for a dreamy breakdown, but swaps the original’s interweaving arpeggios for a fast tap-dance of drums and fuzzy bass. One half of Faroese-Icelandic duo Kiasmos, his remix will be the second single from the LP.
‘It’s 15 years since my first record, ‘Little Flies’ on Four:Twenty music,’ Tim says. ‘I feel the nicest way to celebrate the milestone and highlight my back catalogue is via my new record label ‘For a memory’, as a home for my discography, beginning with friends and artists I love remixing their favourite tracks for this compilation album.’
‘In New Light’ drops November 26th on For A Memory, smart link to follow. The first single ‘Tim Green – Among Wolves’ (Volen Sentir Remix) is out September 3rd.

The ensuing tracks of Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, produced by Inflo in LA and London, run into each other seamlessly and enlist the rapidly emergent likes of Cleo Sol, Obongjayar, and even The Crown actress Emma Corrin, to create a kind of rangy, nimble storytelling which conjures up the febrile, strident world we live in with unflinching energy and vividness. These songs are flash-lit Polaroids, ready framed and developing before our very eyes, and their creator is nowhere and everywhere, documenting a new natural history in which moments of tenderness (“Miss Understood”) coexist with shocking violence (‘Little Q Pt 2’), and unabashed celebrations of femininity sit alongside deeply personal glimpses of introspection (‘I See You’).

All Hope Remains are a 3-piece Australian skate punk band from Geelong, Victoria. Forming in 2017 influenced by bands such as Strung Out, Raised Fist and fast melodic punk rock they have released a number of EP’s and toured extensively across Australia and Japan.
https://open.spotify.com/

All Hope Remains have already released various EP’s and singles and completed numerous across Australia and Japan, opening for iconic bands Zebrahead, Death by Stereo and Shames.
With debut EP “Hindsight” receiving great reviews and second EP “Feel the Fire” cementing their place in the fast skate punk scene the new album is sure to open many more doors for the band.
