1/2/3/4 — #269 — A Matter of Luck
Jesse Glass is a Melbourne/Narrm born, London-based musician and songwriter. As the former drummer with Tulalah, he’s continuing to create beautiful complex music, a surprising blend of dark yet gorgeous harmonies and layered guitar. We will also revisit a track from his former group Tulalah plus the fantastic return of duo The Yearlings, magic harmonies from the Hackles and compelling twee pop from Special Friend.

In this episode, featuring the latest cracking album from Nick Waterhouse. The Fooler is a song-cycle of sorts, the arc of the album telling a tale of a city and its denizens. In Nick’s music you will hear echoes of things you might think you know, the ghost of rhythm and blues, garage rock, radio soul and wee-small-hours balladry – but reconfigured, made new. Exciting!

Based in Sao Paulo and formed in 2017, Tagua Tagua is headed by songwriter and producer Felipe Puperi. Recorded in the rural outskirts of Sao Paulo there is a sense of yearning that permeates throughout the set list of ten unapologetic love songs that fly between lush psychedelic pop to warm, beat-laden neo-soul with Brazilian flavor. Magic! Plus eight other wonky/dreamy pop tracks for you to enjoy.

Nine stunning new tracks from artists you need to here. Hannah Cameron returns with her first new track in three years and it’s a brilliant slice of mantra pop. Plus dreamy pop from Double Wish, gorgeous gentle sounds from Tasmania’s Caelo, classic Aussie rock from supergroup Sand Brothers and cherished folk artist Lucy Wise’s latest release.

For The Nude Party, nearly a decade has flown by in the blink of an eye. In that time, the New York-based 7 piece has released a pair of well-received albums, an EP, and played countless shows. Theirlatest, Rides On, seems them in the producer seat with great results. Great listening!

Featuring one of my favourite releases of the year so far, the debut album of dreamy, gentle songs written by the duo of Robert Thomas (Sunburned Hand of the Man) & poet/singer Beverly Ketch (Bunwinkies; Weeping Bong Band), assisted by a masterly crew of collaborators including P.G. Six, Wednesday Knudsen, Jeremy Pisani, Jen Gelineau, Willie Lane, Gary War & more. Incredibly beautiful and essential listening.

Steve Poltz is back in Australia after a four year absence, bringing with him great new songs from his Stardust and Satellites release and his truty guitar, Smokey Joe. Steve is more than just a singer/songwriter – he’s a brilliant storyteller, comedian, entertainer and lover of the Hook Turn. He joins me in the studio for a chat and some tracks ahead of his performances at the National Folk Festival and Bluesfest. Plus the excellent new album from Coda Chroma, John Kennedy and the New Originals and Ruth Hazleton….and more!

Ryan Baine is influenced by a LOT of different music. That’s a good thing! He says for this record, he was heavily into singer/songwriter stuff from the early 70s but at the same time into soul/dance/funk music: Bobby Womack, Sly Stone, and Gil Scott Heron. LA country from the 60s/70s was HUGE. Byrds, Poco, Neil Young, Crosby, Parsons, all the standards on that front. Add a dash of the baggy Manchester scene as well. Why not? Choral beach folk, 90s dancefloor soul, and smooth 70s style and production. It’s a great listen from start to finish.

Sunny War is more than just an artist; she is a force of nature that is tough to pin down. What exactly is her style? Blues or punk? Yes, she may be a Robert Johnson with a shot of Bad Brains, but even this description falls short. Her latest, Anarchist Gospel features fourteen songs of resilience and perseverance, of hardship and triumph. Highly recommended.
Read More1/2/3/4 — #258 — Gemma Ray and The Death Bell Gang
Gemma Ray takes an unexpected detour from her acclaimed psych-soul and torch-song oeuvre with a hard-edged experiment in cinematic electronica. Epic despite its underlying simplicity and groove, Gemma Ray & The Death Bell Gang blends the funereal and the nasty with tenderness and yearning, with a dash of automaton-pop and a Dada- esque playfulness for good measure. Highly Recommended.
