BABAGANOUJ “SORRY”
Drenched in Brisbane pride, power pop-rock outfit Babaganouj have grown a legion of fans since their 2011 inception. While keeping with their distinctly Australian style, The Nouj’s sound is reminiscent of Teenage Fanclub, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and Yuck, taking inspiration from Creation Records and Flying Nun classics.
In 2014, the band gained national radio attention with their releases ‘Too Late For Love’ and ‘Bluff’. This success took them on headlining tours, as well as prominent billing on The Blurst of Times Festival tour. Driven by Charles Sale’s signature on-stage power lunges, the Triple J Unearthed favourites have supported the likes of The Preatures, Smudge, Veruca Salt, The Lemonheads, Northeast Party House and The Creases.?

LÅNGFINGER NEW SINGLE
A truly kick-ass power trio is quite possibly the perfect rock formation. If there aren’t that many trios around, that’s because it’s a hard thing to pull off: with just three people having to nail the rhythmic fusion of bass and drums, the wild colors of guitar, and the soul-grabbing focus of the human voice, there can be no passengers aboard. Extraordinary chemistry is essential. Everyone has to be right on it, and locked in. Which is why lots of trios fail, or cop out, and recruit extras.

After two critically acclaimed EPs, Flyying Colours are set to release their debut album Mindfullness in September on Club AC30. Residing in a dream-world that sits somewhere between psych, indie, grunge and shoegaze, the Australian band’s beautifully dynamic new offering showcases their talent for uniting a delicate vocal melody with a satisfying thick wall of abrasive drums and guitars.

Residing out of Hornchurch, Essex from a family with both a strong pugilist history (his father an ABA champion) and musical heritage (his grandfather was a jazz guitarist with the BBC), 23 year-old Joseph J. Jones sings beautifully emotive songs that open up a window into his life. His debut single ‘The Video’ is out now on Communion Records.
“A soulful growl, an intimate piano arrangement – the first few seconds of The Video set the tone for Joseph J. Jones’ magnificent debut single. Sounding like he’s had to deal with a few punches in his life, Joseph combines Hozier’s blues with Sam Smith’s tenderness.” Disco Naïveté

LADY WRAY “GUILTY” PREMIERES AT CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
Virginia-born singer/songwriter Nicole Wray is Lady Wray and she has everything you’d want in a singer: an infectious Jackson-5-family-member flare, a range like Aretha’s, and a church upbringing that’s brought a pure, healing texture to her voice and gained her a mentor in Missy Elliot. But the struggles of the music business, with both label and band-mate fallout, have taken the artist on a rollercoaster ride that’s made her stronger than ever and now she’s ready to make her pinnacle statement.

Genius ft. Ray Jr. “Free All My N*ggas”
When reading statistics such as the U.S. Census citing that 4% of all African-American males are currently incarcerated, some people may feel unaffected. To many, however, that statistic cuts painfully close to home. ATL-based DJ/artist Genius and Cleveland-based rapper Ray Jr have both dealt with the pain and heartache of having loved ones locked up or deported and thus decided to create the song, “Free All My N*ggas,” to humanize those statistics. “Free All My N*ggas” is a heartfelt trap ballad with strong verses and a melodic hook from producer, Matt Steez, who co-penned the hook with Genius. The song deftly explains one of the most prominent examples of inequality in our country and instills a message of hope to those behind bars.

In a sharp left-field turn from his day job as drummer for the world conquering alt-J, on High Anxiety Green unveils his long-abiding interest in cerebral, idiosyncratic electronica with an album that is warm yet experimental, playful yet considered, superficially accessible yet simultaneously deep, with Green demonstrating his complete artistry as songwriter, producer and visual artist.
Palm Honey Release New Single ‘Bones’
Psych outfit Palm Honey have announced the release of their latest single Bones. The track, their second release of 2016, follows on from the hugely successful You Stole My Blackout and was originally conceived as a slow, chilled out dream pop track that frontman Joseph Mumford demoed one late night alone in his kitchen. A staple of Palm Honey’s set since their early days, the single is immortalised here in a live recording of its new, uptempo form that combines the hazier side of psychedelia with a heavy, aggressive rhythm.

LULL PREMIERE VIDEO FOR “NOUVELLE”
Of the video guitarist/vocalist Jon Billinge had to say, “We worked with director Tom Palliser on the ‘Nouvelle’ shoot. A lot of our songs carry motifs of the sea, but we knew that we didn’t want anything too fussy or choreographed. There’s always some sort of ebb and flow to our tracks, from these quiet rushes into these big waves, so it felt right to have the placid sea contrasting against Tom’s kinetic camerawork. It’s like the woozy reel of the lure before it gets cast off again, which is true to the song’s heart.” Nouvelle was released last month via PaperCup Music.
