1/2/3/4 — #236 — The Magic of Caelo

Abe Parsons first came to my attention as a part of a wonderful Tasmanian group, Little Island. Formed while in high school, they punched above their weight with some stellar songs. Now Abe returns with an excellent new solo project, Caelo. This nipaluna/Hobart based singer-songwriter, continues to excite with two singles to date. He’s joined by the extremely talented Harry Cook from Melbourne and Liam Judson from the Blue Mountains with outstanding releases. Lots of other essential releases as well on this edition.

Quiet Space — #203 — Music For Listening

Music For Listening is one of my favourite ambient releases of 2022. Michael Scott Dawson over four months during the pandemic wrote the album, but fleshed it out his guitar lines with  tape loops and manipulations, accompanied by field recordings and spare piano elements. It’s our focus on this edition plus work from Maps and Diagrams, Lydian Dunbar, FernLodge and more.

1/2/3/4 — #232 — Beautiful Melancholy

Goon have released one of my favourite editions of 2022 with the Painting By Numbers EP Vol 1. Kenny from the group is aiming for music that offers that “really sad and comforting feeling”. It’s a stunning release. As well, magic works from Papercuts, Phia, Ethan Woods and pimpod favs, Charm of Finches.

Her albums have won two Canadian Folk Music Awards, English Songwriter of the Year (2020) and Contemporary Album of the Year (2017). Her latest single from upcoming album, Stolen Time, explores the insatiable, contradictory impulses that drive doomed love and other addictions.

1/2/3/4 — #229 — So Excited!

A show that celebrates recent post-punk efforts and ’90s jangle with a twist. A favourite release from last year was from Leeds group Mush, this track has an arty twist and is very catchy! Add cracking new releases from Toronto’s Cola (pictured – my current my listen track), Berlin’s ShyBits and Sweden’s Holm and you’ve got a bunch of new musical friends you’ll want to visit often.
