With so much good music coming through thick and fast, it’s easy for new music to drop online and go unnoticed. To help prevent this, we’ve picked five new releases that you need to hear. Stream music from Angophora, Melquíades, Michael Seyer, Spring Breaks, and Surly. If you like what you hear, support the artists.
Angophora – Scenes
Sydney’s Angophora present Scenes, where resting pulses and humid atmospherics frame gentle percussion, warm synth work and tasteful guitar licks that take a note from the Balearic handbook but remains clear in their appreciation and respect for the sounds and colours of Australian nature. Really strong project with ‘Uncarved’ and ‘Attachment’ being the standouts.
