November 08 - Noteworthy New Releases
Our favourite releases of the week.
Broken Waves– ‘Do You Understand?’
Levelling a frustration at how misogyny festers in online spaces and a lack of healthy male role models, Broken Waves delivers a must-hear message in new song, ‘Do You Understand?’. Buoyed by a spicy indie-funk, the single’s undeniable groove means its all-important sentiment leaves an impactful mark.
The Birds ARe SPies – ‘Spin’
This is a song for one of those out-of-the-blue spring scorchers, when you’re driving to the beach with the windows down and the steering wheel is stinging your hands. ‘Spin’ should soundtrack any activity that takes place in the beating sun – its light-filled indie rock noise will elevate any good time.
Full Cream – ‘Butterscotch’
Gooey and textured, the latest delivery from Full Cream lives up to its name.‘Butterscotch’ takes cues from the same sound that makes artists like Matt Corby and Tash Sultana household names. Absolute bliss. Sit in the sun, press play on this smooth tune and drift away.
The Vains – ‘Woman on the Brink’
Punchy and to the point, The Vains are raising their middle finger to the patriarchal systems that rule us on their first single for 2024, ‘Woman On The Brink’. Via their signature glam-grit roots, the outfit pushes back on the pressures of being a woman in society, resulting in a fierce headbanger that’ll help you shake stress and feel seen.
