Phoebe Bridgers is officially back. The four-time Grammy winner has announced her highly anticipated third studio album, Lost Weekend, set to drop on August 14 via Dead Oceans.

Fiddlehead are back! Today the beloved band have returned with the announcement of a new three-song EP, Baby I'll Change, arriving this Friday 26 June via Run For Cover/Civilians. 

This lineup is a masterclass in sonic contrast, bridging the gap between cutting-edge electronic production and raw, visceral energy. Leading the charge is Vegyn, whose new release 'There’s something here for both of us' further cements his reputation as a master of textured, enigmatic beats, especially as he continues to peel back the layers of his HEADACHE persona. On the heavier end of the spectrum, hardcore icons Converge return with 'Doom in Bloom', a track that promises the same relentless intensity they’ve been honing for decades. They are joined by Newcastle’s rising stars HORSE, whose single 'Under Your Sun' signals a breakout year for the Australian newcomers, while Melbourne’s Luv4her brings a dose of neon-soaked "Internet Pop" to the mix.

This weeks LISTEN TO THIS features Love Spells new tune ‘Clutch’, Mac Demario’s Bassist Solo project titled Daryl Jones bringing his jazz/indie spells, the latest American Football LP4 bringing the twinkly emo back into your earholes, a Throwback to Ariel Pinks Pom Pom (if you know you know, and if you don’t who are you?) then some great sounds from Australian artists Blue Diner with Disc2 bringing lush sounds out of Brisbane, Melbourne’s Divers with their new full-length record, and Local The Neighbour fresh off his AU tour with Hudson Freeman

LISTEN TO THIS — This week’s music landscape is an incredible collision of genres, ranging from the frantic energy of London’s synth-punk outfit Powerplant to the high-gloss future of metalcore. Powerplant’s latest record sees them leaning into a darker, more cinematic "gothic" sound, while Nashville’s Snooper keeps things twitchy and lo-fi with their latest offering, "Guard Dog." On the heavier end of the spectrum, Portrayal of Guilt continues to push the boundaries of black metal and hardcore with their newest release, contrasted sharply by the expansive, star-studded deluxe album from This Is Lorelei. Featuring collaborations with indie heavyweights like MJ Lenderman and Momma, that record offers a sprawling look into modern experimental pop. To balance the new with the legendary, a revisit to Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot provides a masterclass in alt-country production, all while Northlane looks toward the horizon with their brand-new single, "Evian," which officially drops their signature heavy sound into a trance-influenced future.

This release follows a landmark period for Avery, building on the success of his Tremor (Midnight Versions) project and a sold-out four-week residency. The original album featured an expansive cast of collaborators, including Alison Mosshart, Walter Schreifels, and yeule, and was mixed by legendary engineers Alan Moulder and David Wrench. As Avery prepares to bring his live show to Australian festivals like Rising, VIVID, and Dark Mofo this June, this deluxe edition stands as a fitting celebration of an album defined by movement, memory, and communal spirit.

QUICKSAND announce new album with urgent song "Get to It"

Premiering alongside a visualizer for “Regenerate”

Over the past twenty years, Future Islands have travelled a rare arc — from promising newcomers to something closer to a best-kept secret, from cult favorites to a band that has quietly endured. 

Rather than marking the moment with a traditional “best of,” they now present From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth – an immediate and accessible collection, with many of these songs appearing on streaming services for the first time. It brings together rarities, long-hidden recordings, and songs that have lived quietly among fans, reflecting the full shape of the band’s path. The album will be released on Friday 22 May, and today, the band shares two new tracks from it — 'The Ink Well' and 'One Day'.

Basement have previously shared the title track, “Broken By Design" and more recently "The Way I Feel." The singles have drawn attention from, among others, Stereogum, Alternative Press, Under The Radar, and Consequence who noted, “Basement’s two glimpses of what to expect on WIRED have been released: the title track and “Broken By Design.” On the former, a towering hook and urgent guitars channel the energy that Basement have made an epic career out of. The latter finds Basement leaping in the opposite direction for a moodier, more gentle tune. Equally as captivating, but for different reasons."

After a long drive across the Nullarbor (made even longer by plenty of scenic detours), Lloyd & The Leftovers are bringing their heartfelt, DIY folk-rock to the East Coast for the very first time this January 2026.

The ‘Spin The Wheel’ East Coast Tour follows the release of their debut album Spin The Wheel — a record that’s already carved out a home in the hearts of listeners across the country. Born from the vibrant Walyalup (Fremantle) folk scene, the album’s mix of jangly guitars, rowdy harmonies, and introspective lyricism has seen it rack up over 100,000 streams in its first three months, landing on curated playlists like Indie Folk, Southern Craft, and Tapestry.
