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.
GHOST CARE - HOME RUN
Catchy vibes from the Perth indie-rock trio on their second single - out October 15 - after earlier debut 'Another', and ahead of an upcoming EP. Catch live on October 18 for a single launch show at The Bird in Perth.
SWIFT PEAKS - FILL IT UP
The indie-rock four-piece from Canberra draft a fusion of distortion, melody and raw vocals from guitarist
Jackson Reilly.
CHINA TIGER - BELLY BUTTON
Sydney four-piece emerge with their debut offering of alt-pop with a psych-rock essence, released October 4. "'Belly Button' is about a period of time spent away from a loved one," says vocalist/guitarist Jake Styles. "The separation and the feelings of being apart. It is also a celebration of the women who have been important in my life. From my single mother, grandmother and partner at the time when I wrote this." Catch live for a single launch show at Frankie's Pizza in Sydney on October 30.
ANNIE JOELLE - HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH?
The emerging electronic pop artist, based in Brisbane, combines dark electronic instrumentation and unique samples, with her alternate sweet/scary vocal style on this single, out on October 18, which reflects on her experiences of being underestimated and walked over. Catch live on release day at the Albion Hotel in Brisbane.
GREAT GABLE - I SWEAR
Perth quartet unleash the melodic and laid-back on this new track, recorded at Perth’s Rada Studio with Matt Gio (Troye Sivan) and mastered by William Bowden (Gotye). The sub-three minute number is described as "a short sweet song about remaining patient and positive for the people and things that we love in life" by the band's Alex Whiteman.
THOSE LETHALS - THRILL OF THE HUNT
The first release in 2019 from Auckland, NZ's guitar-pop outfit. An infectious outing that fuses synth layers and a powering bassline with emotive vocals courtesy of Elizabeth Cameron. “'Thrill Of The Hunt' is a song is set in a scary movie nightmare complete with insect plagues and a cowering Hollywood heroine," she says. "However, that doe-eyed trope is questioned as the song explores a moment of bravery in a dangerous dreamscape."
