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.
SAORSA - THE GOOD LIFE
Chilled electro-pop from Sydney songstress Saorsa (pronounced Sir-sha), aka Sarah Tuckerman, with her first single of 2020. Recorded at her home studio, she mixes neo-soul and lo-fi R&B influences for a feelgood vibe, while drawing lyrically from her own experiences. "It’s really about allowing yourself to bask in the good things, focus on love, life and being grateful for all that you have,” she says.
DRIBS - HOW YOU SAY
Wollongong, New South Wales trio Dribs follow last year's 'Holiday', with this infectious new offering. The three-piece - Brendan Neville (guitar/vocals), Nathan Krajnovic (drums) and Jack Malolakis (bass) - hone their alt-rock sound with catchy vocals and steady, foot-tapping beat.
THE SPECTRE COLLECTIVE - GEMINI METHOD
Wellington, NZ psych three-piece - Jonathan Shirley (Church of Goya), Lochie Noble (Transistor) and Will Agnew (Mothers Dearest) - ride out with a raft of catchy krautrock grooves, polyrhythmic beats, and off-kilter guitar rhythms and synth, on this track from their upcoming fourth album, 'Delirium Imperium', out on March 13.

NZ's Jonathan Bree links up with fellow Aucklander Princess Chelsea for this third cut from Bree's forthcoming album 'After the Curtains Close'. 'Kiss My Lips' is filled with lush melodies and sharp rhythms, with Princess Chelsea putting her exquisite vocals to good effect on the 60s styled track. Touring throughout Europe from April to June, Bree makes three UK stops: April 30, Manchester, YES; May 1, London, Dingwalls, and May 2, Bristol, Crofters Rights.
ZOË FOX AND THE ROCKET CLOCKS - SHINY CAR
The Melbourne indie dance-pop quartet led by Zoë Fox (vocals, guitar, synth) lend a suitably spacey and hypnotic presence on this new track that melds their electro, pop, disco and psych-pop influences for a slinky, twinkling 2.44 minutes.
MANTELL - ST LOUIS
Released last week, Melbourne dreamy indies Mantell return with the laid-back new single. Recorded in Melbourne at the band’s own studio, the track envelops the listener with ease. Injecting indie melodies with dashes of psych and pop makes ‘St. Louis’ an instant hit.
