Happy Axe is Canberra-based multi-instrumentalist Emma Kelly, who weaves layers of vocals, violin and musical saw into a vibrant, hypnotic blend of experimental pop. Her debut album Dream Punching is highly recommended and I feature one of my favourite tracks on this episode, As well, the dark and dreamy sounds of Steady Holiday, the return of indie-noir duo Broads and a stunning debut release from an all-female rock group from the ’60s San Francisco Psych scene, Ace of Cups.

The music of On Diamond is a heady blend of improvisation and experimental rock, lead by vocalist Lisa Salvo and strong backing band, they return with their thrid single ‘How’. Fellow Melbourne creative pop ensemble Coda Chroma reveal an equally strong new track and we welcome the return of four bands from L.A.’s Paisley Underground – who have reunited to interpret each other’s back catalogue. The first offering is from the much loved band, The Bangles. Plus Mandolin Orange, The Putbacks and Tracy McNeil & The Goodlife.
