With the vibrant indie music scene in Australia and New Zealand constantly outshining much of the output from their British and American cousins, Little Indie picks our weekly bunch of some of the best new tracks on offer.
SINCLAIRE - IT'S NOT ENOUGH
Out June 7, the third single from the Sydney four-piece - who we first heard late last year with 'Headspace' - taken from their forthcoming debut EP ‘Now I’m Ready To Start’ (due June 28).
Vocalist Michael Cross has a great baritone that perfectly helms this indie pop gem that sounds geared for summer festival stages.

Auckland, NZ duo, sisters Valentine and Clementine Nixon, reveal the first single from second album, 'Perfumed Earth', released August 9 via Flying Nun Records. Their blend of alt-folk melodies with washed out shoegaze guitars and synths, crates a unique, haunting sound of their own.
AUGUST ROMAN - WHAT YOU DID TO ME
The Sydney artist, formerly known as STALKER, re-emerges on this single that takes fairly deep lyrics and wraps them up with a meaty bassline and beefy, layered production for a track you need to hear more than once as it grows on each hearing. "I hope the lyrics can connect with people on a personal level."
JACK GRAY - FOOLS
Lead track from the self-produced debut EP (released May 31) by the 20-year-old Queensland indie pop artist. Bright and breezy, with an infectious appeal, augmented by synths and soaring vocals.
GAUCI - IN THE NIGHT
Sydney trio - brother and sister Antonia and David Gauci, and Felix Lush - return with the title track off their forthcoming EP 'In The Night'. The disco thumper melds dance vibes with strong melodies and animated synths, along with a lustrous vocal delivery by Antonia.
SEASIDE - SYCAMORE

New from the Byron Bay quartet, following last year's 'Lover, We All Have Our Vices' EP. Upbeat dreampop fronted by the blissful, satin-smooth voice of Darcy Dexter, who says of the song: "Life can put you in positions that make us uncomfortable. The line 'ghosts in my house' is a metaphor for allowing something, some situation, to weave itself into the wires of your mind, leaving them tangled, making us feel like we’re being forced to explain ourselves."
