Choosing Sides - ‘Cardboard Seats’
Adelaide’s indie rock scene is bursting with talent as of late, and Choosing Sides is no exception. ‘Cardboard Seats’ describes “that feeling of longing for something ‘real’ and the need to escape city life for something a little grittier”. This track is a sweet and nostalgic listen channeling feelings of frustration and disappointment. Feeling torn between the simplicity of small town life and the dazzling city lights definitely hits close to home.

Sam Marks - ‘Eventide’
Sydney indie artist Sam Marks has dropped his highly anticipated second single ‘Eventide’. This melancholic track is awash with sun-soaked guitars, dreamy lyrics and rich husky vocals worthy of a Chris Cornell comparison. Marks explores complex emotions to reflect on a short-lived fling during his California travels. ‘Eventide’ transports you to warm summer memories with its youthful energy and folk charm.

HEJDUK - ‘Into The Moon’
Melbourne indie-folk artist HEJDUK’s new single ‘Into The Moon’ is utterly haunting. Struggling to find balance between work and rest (don't we know the feeling), HEJDUK wrote this song about “being present and in the moment”. ‘Into The Moon’ is twinkling with chilling vocals, soft acoustic guitar and gentle piano, inviting you to slow down and breathe. Gradually building in intensity, this gorgeous track captures you and does not let go.

Lara - ‘Circles’
19-year-old Melbourne pop-enchantress Lara brings style, individuality and a sense of mystery to the table in her new single ‘Circles’. Kicking off with funky bass and percussion, Lara’s edgy vocals enter the track with confidence and a hint of darkness. A multi-talented expert in music production and performance, Lara captures your attention on this 2000’s inspired track. Check out her debut album Bored Games, released earlier this year, for more.

Brandon Jack & The Artifacts - ‘You and Me’
Brandon Jack & The Artifacts is an electronic garage rock project produced, written, mixed and recorded by Brandon Jack. ‘You and Me’ strikes a perfect balance between lo-fi house and scrappy garage, featuring transparent lyrics personifying Jack’s anxieties. With his previous band splitting up, Brandon Jack shared “I wanted to make something that sounded completely unalike anything I’d do with the band”. Brandon Jack has drawn upon his many talents to break down musical barriers and create a multilayered dance track.
