Having released four energetic and high-quality albums in the last 5 years, the tenacity itself of Easy Browns is something to behold. Always self-managed and wrapped to play shows anywhere from Old Bar in Naarm/Melnbourne to Falls Festival Marion Bay and Gizzfest, Easy Browns have honed their skills since 2016, culminating in one of the tightest live sets on offer. The formidable 4-piece have pushed the boundaries of rock music and carved their own path, with band leader Zak Brown at the center of it all, hosting festivals, organizing tours and managing the band and creating a record label Critter Records to help friends get their music out there. Easy Browns are happy to ‘call it a days work’ with one last tour including dates in VIC and TAS and culminating at Northcote Social Club on Thursday 14th April, which will be their final ever show.
Tour dates:
Forward-thinking producer PACES and vocal talent CLOE TERARE united across the QLD/NSW border and despite the pestilence, disasters and major upheavals that they’ve been through this project has found its place and time. The merging of their unique talents has made for something unpredictably compelling.
Dayliites is a gentle pop/electronic outfit with beautiful songwriting and world class production/ There’s a disparate mix of naivety, cynicism, expertise and optimism living inside Dayliites that makes the music sound both precise and effortless. The lo-fi & bedroom elements, expertly produced, have a slacker energy that’s contrary to the sweet, delicate, intricate & honest moments in both Cloe’s performances & Paces’ production.
There are some clear influences here; from Paces’ long standing fandom of Charlie XCX too superstars Billie Ellish & Doja Cat and a hit of Australia’s own Mallrat. Yet Dayliites feels unique in their song structure. They way the choruses sneak up on you, the meditative energy, the interplay of nylon string guitar and muted drums. Uniting the best elements of lofi hip-hop and modern pop, the duo’s debut mixtape ‘Ghosts’ is a potent display of their singularly sweet sound and another great showing from Paces’ own Off leash Records.

For Jitwam, his career in music has always felt predestined. The first record he bought – a $2 blank white-label vinyl – turned out to be a Moodymann track, a discovery he made around the same time he found out his music would be featured on Moodymann’s DJ Kicks compilation. Finding success through two LPs, ‘ज़ितम सिहँ’ and Honeycomb, and acclaimed tracks including ‘WhereYouGonnaGo’ and ‘busstop’ Jitwam has become a mainstay of the underground, having guested on NTS, WorldWide FM, BBC6 Music amongst others. He has also remixed Laraaji, collaborated with Folamour – whose Boiler Room has had nearly a million views – as well as Cosmo’s Midnight on Defected Records, alongside having a track on the renowned compilation ‘Fabric Presents… Maribou State’. Incorporating sounds from across the world, Jitwam marries incisive political commentary with deep introspection to create work that is, at once, wrenchingly intimate and sweetly playful.
‘Brooklyn Ballers‘ by Jitwam is out now via Roya, buy/stream here.

Where are you currently based?
We’re all based in Sydney at the moment – a bit spread out across the city.
What’s been happening recently?
After spending the last two years locked inside, gigs getting cancelled etc. we’ve finally just been able to play our first east-coast Australian tour. A lot of the last few months has been us preparing for that whilst working on new music in between. Everything is starting to feel real again and it’s amazing to actually see a physical representation of our growth over the last few years.
You’re playing Mini-Vanfest on April 9 in Forbes, NSW, what do you most enjoy about playing festivals?
We’ve actually never played a festival before, this will be our first and we’re so pumped. Having been festival attendees before, it’s really exciting to be on the other side of that.
What do you have in store for this show?
We’ve put a set together of a lot of our released material as well as some unreleased music and we are just going to make it as explosive as it can be.
Who are you looking forward to seeing play at Mini-Vanfest?
I think we’re all pretty keen to see Holy Holy but we’re gonna try catch the lot of it cause its just such a sick little lineup! Cloe Terare was one of our supports in the first leg of our east-coast tour so we’re heaps keen to see her again and on a much bigger stage!
Please tell us about any new music that you have on the way:
We’ve been building a catalogue of some really great material over the last few months. There’s a plan in stone and we’re working on something really special. Unfortunately we’re not allowed to say when but you’ll know when it’s all going down.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
It’s really all over the place, but at the moment id say as a collective, we’ve been really inspired by a band from the states called MUNA, they write great songs and the production is just next level.
What do you like to do away from music?
We’re all pretty different when it comes to things like that – Ellis loves to surf; Nico is a big fan of photography and videography; & Max kind of just lives and breathes in music whether it’s listening or playing.
What else do you have planned for 2022?
Obviously the music plans are moving ahead but it’s likely we’ll be doing another tour towards the middle/end of the year. Thats all we can really make public right now.
Favourite food and place to hang out?
El Camino in Manly has a deal on Wednesdays where you can buy 20 chicken wings for 20c each as long as you buy a drink. It’s kind of become a ritual that every now and then we will head out there and demolish as many wings as we can while we drown in frozen margaritas.

Melbourne-based, Perth singer-songwriter Harper Bloom has today shared an affecting new single Red Rocket, a bright and empathetic tune that delves into dealing with loss in a positive way – by looking back on fond memories. Released today, the charismatic song is accompanied by a charming music video that reflects on the simple things in life, set in country Victoria.
If Courtney Barnett had written a song for the Juno soundtrack, this would be it. Red Rocket is a positive, upbeat indie-folk track that ironically stems from melancholy, about finding happiness after losing someone close to you. The simple production from celebrated producers Steve Schram and David Quested (Paul Kelly, San Cisco, Jagua Jonze) and mastered by Grammy award nominee Joe Carra (The Teskey Brothers), delivers big, with ukulele and piano blending perfectly to allow the song room to grow and flourish, and the artist’s signature Aussie drawl adding an extra layer of charm. Featuring minimal percussion and a horns section that builds to an outstanding outro, Harper Bloom proves the theory that more often than not, less really is more. Speaking on the inspiration for the track, the young artist says, “A Red Rocket is a symbol of an indent someone has left in your life that you hold onto for comfort. This song navigates grief but it’s also a celebration of how lucky we are to have had a chance to know someone so special – no matter how brief that encounter may be.”
The video for Red Rocket is transportive as it takes the viewer on a journey into the familiar and humble moments that make us who we are, whilst lyrics of a life well lived reinforce the core of the song – to reflect and reminisce positively. Directed by Matt and Lawrence from LP Creative (Maddy Jane), the video opens with beautiful vistas of the Australian country, taking the viewer to rural Victoria in a clever and delightfully nostalgic yet contemporary melange of Super 8 and digital videography. “We wanted the music video to reflect the overall mood of the song, rather than tell a narrative-based story.” Harper Bloom explains of the video, “our idea was to head to a beautiful quiet country town and shoot little everyday moments out in the town that you don’t really think about at the time, but are the special moments we all live for. Like a pleasant little encounter with a stranger that you’ll never meet again.”
Harper Bloom is set for a big 2022 with a new sophomore EP and plenty of shows on the cards, Red Rocket may be the first thing we hear from this talented singer-songwriter this year, but certainly won’t be the last!
Red Rocket is out today, March 24.

Tantalon is the electronic music persona of Australian-based artist, Dom Kukla. Born in the Hunter Valley Region, NSW, Tantalon comes into the world. This musical journey began in the early 00’s when Dom began as a DJ spending his time amongst the Brisbane nightlife and all the interesting things it had to offer. Years later, after a brief stint in Sydney, Tantalon was born. After the release of his debut single “Phaze” last October, Tantalon delivers a cracking tune once again with the release of “Supernova“!
“Supernova” was all entirely self produced and mixed from Tantalon’s home studio with mastering for the track later provided by “Jack the Bear” and Tony Mantz. “Supernova” sees Tantalon take a much slower and moodier approach in comparison to “Phaze”, the track provides an energy to the listener that could be described as transcending.
Tantalon describes the inspiration behind crafting “Supernova” as, “It was written shortly after returning home and setting up a new studio space in 2020. The sense of freedom to create in a rapidly changing world at a time when things slowed down helped to shape this one.”
Inspired by the natural world, freedom of expression, all things dance and electronic, but most importantly the good times and freedoms of the early yesteryears, Tantalon has a unique way of telling his story through music. With an eclectic ear for anything electronic, expect a diverse range of music. Vocal laced broken beat, energetic, organic raw cuts and left field recordings full of colour and emotion. All cooked up in unique fashion.
2021 will see Tantalon releasing a lot of new original material on his own imprint, ‘Full Circle,’ as well as independently.

Emerging with wicked hooks and a vocal presence that is impossible to ignore, Canberra R&B artist Kirrah Amosa is an absolute breath of fresh air.
With her new single ‘Possessive’, Kirrah brings the type of energy R&B fans have been riding hard for within the genre in recent years: confident and passionate, with a unique sense of edgy cool threaded throughout.
It’s not the first time Kirrah has stepped into the spotlight with her music and art, though as this year rolls out, hers is a voice not quick to be forgotten.
‘Possessive’ has Kirrah on a sonic and vibey wave that would make the likes of SZA and Kehlani fans feel right at home. Late night beats and rhythms are a strong foundation for Kirrah’s hypnotic R&B vocals as they weave around a narrative that is pretty straight forward: ‘a loving reminder’, as Kirrah says, to ‘keep your hands and eyes on your side of the table’.
There is a playful energy within the song that keeps Kirrah’s self-awareness in check. On this record she acknowledges the darker side of herself, but also that through dark times, she has emerged into a healthier space where she is at peace with her being.
“2020/2021 bestowed on me the best of the worst; crushed my dreams, dissolved years of hard work, ended my relationship, introduced me to my new bestie, Anxiety, and helped me understand that the niggling feeling in the back of my head wasn’t motivation to be healthier – it was body dysmorphia.
2022 is officially the new year of birth as I have completely shed all remnants of the shame and doubt that fuelled my being and have fully embraced my good and semi-toxic traits e.g., ‘Possessive’. Accepting this darker side of me was nothing short of absolute liberation, so if you’re anything like me, I offer you this.
Instead of entering the always-vicious screening cycle with a new potential partner, feel free to play them ‘Possessive’. Let ‘em know what to expect, and if they get surprised by your ‘passion’ (or emotion-filled mood swings), that’s on them.”
KIRRAH AMOSA
KIRRAH AMOSA
2022 will see Kirrah unveil more new music than ever before; a treat for fans around the country who have been following her journey as not just a talented singer, but an accomplished stage performer as well.
Kirrah’s versatility as a performer has led to invaluable touring experiences supporting the likes of Rita Ora, Jess Glynne and as part of the Ministry of Sound Australian Tour with Sam Sparro, Crystal Waters and Alison Limerick, but also as part of the original cast of HAMILTON Australia.
A proud Australian/Samoan woman, Kirrah’s love for music and the craft of expression through song runs in her blood and since a young age, she has been driven to connect with audiences through her music.
‘Possessive’ is out now.

“‘Glimmer’ might be their most radiant release so far – loaded with their signature soulful grooves, intoxicating instrumentation and frontwoman Maddy Herbert’s velvety voice.”
– James Lynch, Trouble Juice
“‘Glimmer’ is a wonder of a track. The musicianship is almost intimidating, from the controlled smokey croon of front woman Maddy Herbert, through to the layers of jazz influences that are crammed under a soulful blanket. The waltz turn-around at the half-way mark is the fairy dust on an already smooth groove. Everything is restrained, within reason, with the listener knowing full well that any one of these musicians could break the stratosphere with a solo, but that’s the kicker. None of them do. They serve the song, and it is so much better for it.” – The Point
Earlier this month, Melbourne based soul outfit Velvet Bloom dropped their steamy heartwarmer ‘Glimmer’ sharing another take from their anticipated debut body of work just around the corner. Now, the enthralling collective are revealing the gorgeous visuals to the new single and EP namesake with a collaborative video accompaniment, showcasing some of Australia’s finest up-and-coming creatives. In celebration of the release, Velvet Bloom are thrilled to announce an upcoming run of Glimmer EP tour dates, hitting the road for six shows up the East Coast next month in the wake of the EP’s release on Friday 8 April via Cousin Will Records.
Co-directed by Velvet Bloom frontwoman Maddy Herbert, bassist Anthony Rennick and multidisciplinary video artist Rhys Newling, the ‘Glimmer’ video features cameos from some familiar faces of the Melbourne music scene including artists, record store owners, DJs and more. The visuals are absolutely stunning, with every aesthetic element from set design to costuming and beyond honing in on the broader artistic community in the same familial spirit that the song itself embodies. Featuring corsets by The Daisy Lane, jacket by Cheeky The Label, and flower arrangements by frontwoman, stylist and creative tour de force Maddy Herbert with support from Tom & Daisy, the video is an all encompassing visual and aural delight and testament to Velvet Bloom’s far reaching artistic excellence.
“We wanted to create something super special for this music video and I had a very specific vision in terms of aesthetics. After speaking to Rennick about the intention of the song and what it meant to me lyrically, the idea for the video came together quite quickly. We wanted to use mirrors to communicate how the people who we have the deepest admiration for are woven into the making of us as individuals. This was also the reason behind the family-portrait style videos of people who have played a huge role in supporting our journey! I love my community and feel extremely blessed to be surrounded by such incredible people. ‘Glimmer’ is an ode to my people.” – Maddy Herbert, Velvet Bloom
The five piece of Maddy Herbert, Alex Marko, Anthony Rennick, Nic Morton and Miguel Hutton will be heading back to the live stage for a run of East Coast shows kicking off this April hitting up Forster, Brisbane, Sydney, Beechworth, Adelaide and Melbourne, with Herbert also playing solo in Canberra. Do not miss your chance to catch this captivating live act on the rise when they roll into a town near you.

Beginning on April 11th, Saba embarks on the North American leg of his headlining Back Home Tour with support from Charlotte-bred Dreamville rapper Lute and Los Angeles artist Amindi. The tour then heads to Europe and the U.K. in September and features support from English rapper, singer, and songwriter ENNY on U.K. dates and Dutch-Sudanese R&B singer-songwriter Gaidaa throughout the rest of Europe. Tickets are available at sabapivot.com/tour.
Saba’s third studio album, Few Good Things, marks another seamless offering from the Chicago polymath. The “meticulously arranged” (The New York Times) record features notable collaborations with Pivot Gang, Black Thought, Krayzie Bone, 6LACK, Smino, Mereba, Fousheé, Benjamin Earl Turner, and more and includes new standout, ‘Still‘ (feat. 6LACK and Smino), in addition to the previously released singles, ‘Survivor’s Guilt‘ with fellow Chicago rapper G Herbo, the Krayzie Bone-assisted ‘Come My Way’, the hard-hitting solo track ‘Stop That‘, and the funk-laden ‘Fearmonger‘ with Daoud.
“The concept of ‘Few Good Things’ is the realization of self after a search for exterior fulfilment,” shared Saba on the inspiration behind the album’s title. “It is the satisfaction and completeness you gain by simply living a life that is yours. Few is a small number, but few is not lonely. In the face of all adversity, a few good things is recognizing and accepting blessings. Few is to count them, one by one – an empty glass is full of air, an empty bank is full of lessons., and an empty heart is full of memories. Few good things is to grow comfortable with the empty, and despite that, finding your fullness.”
Produced by Partizan in association with SoundCloud and Pogi Studios, the poignant and touching accompanying Few Good Things: The Short Film is directed and written by award-winning filmmaker C.T. Robert and explores the roots of Saba’s desire for exterior fulfilment and his recognition of the fulfilment he’s already felt by simply living a life that was meant for him with those he’s loved. Using Few Good Things as the sonic backdrop, the short film weaves together a few selected tracks from the album with the collage of sounds one might expect to hear making their way through Saba’s hometown in the West Side of Chicago.
The album and film successfully tie in themes of generational dialogue, reflection, community and ownership, with an emphasis on Black ownership. Between the short film, Supervsn Merch Capsule, and the Saba-curated Preme Magazine issue dropping next week, Saba’s Few Good Things campaign intersperses film, art, and fashion that ultimately tie back to the meaning of the music itself: to hold close the things that matter most to you.
With the release of Few Good Things, Saba continues to push musical boundaries on his climb to rap’s upper echelon.
Few Good Things LP is out now, buy/stream it here.
