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.
OLIVIA'S WORLD - BLOTTER
Released last week, the Brisbane/ Vancouver-based alt-pop-rock outfit reveal the jangly, DIY opening track from their self-titled EP, out October 25 via Lost Sound Tapes. Fronted by Lica Rezende, the five-piece lend a melodic vibe to the three and a half minute number.
JACK R. REILLY - I DON'T LIKE TO SEE US LIKE THIS
The Sydney artist delivers a shimmering dream-pop melancholy to his second single, following August's 'Who Can Say?', mixed with hazy guitar, uplifting melodies and woozy vocal. "It's about becoming aware of when to call something quits," he says. "I wanted to contrast the feeling of deep sadness at something ending with the joy, the freedom and the curiosity of the new and what’s coming."
NO NO NO NO NO - SUNSETS
After their summer release, 'Desperation', the Adelaide-based punk rockers etch a catchy pop-punk with chugging power chords on this newest single, released last week, that builds over four driving minutes.
CREATURE FEAR - MAKEUP
On the heels of May's 'Baby Love Me', the Melbourne-based group's new single is an anthemic grower, that takes an energetic slant on garage-rock, infused with glistening guitar riffs and plentiful pop hooks, and an ear-grabbing vocal. The track, says singer Cameron Graham, is about "feeling suppressed but experiencing an awakening that gives you an urge to want to portray yourself true to who you are." Catch live on September 27 at Sydney's Crowbar.
PAIGE - BLOOM
Auckland, NZ's songstress brings lush melodies and an RnB vibe with a funky overlay to new single, created in collaboration with producers Josh Fountain (Leisure) and Djeisan Suskov. “I hope it makes people feel good and it’s something people can relate to,” she says.
FACE FACE - RAMONA
From their 'Cartoon Villain' EP released at the end of August, a stirring dose of garage-punk from the Melbourne trio. Frontwoman Lauren Perkins lends a powerful vocal point here, rising from a low-key start to helm a dynamic thrust of guitars and drums.
