The Point - In Focus

Meanjin/Brisbane’s GLVES chooses colour, softness and truth to cut through the world that often demands hardness, which is shown on her debut EP, ‘Belonging’ - which is out now.



Melbourne-based artist, Annabelle Grace returns with soaring, emotional new indie-pop ballad, ‘Throne’, which follows on from her break-through debut single, ‘Porcelain Face’, which dropped mid-year.

Aussie indie rock trio Moler today swipe right on raw energy and nostalgic punk with’ AI', the group’s first new music since 2019 and a deliciously raucous ride elevated by its accompanying music video. 

It’s been 6 years since Holly Cookie Baker’s previous release (the album, ‘This Is Not a Love Song’), but she has returned with an evocative new single in ‘The Winter’ - an accidental sister song to her 2017 duet, ‘The Summer’ with Tim Rogers.

Melbourne’s genre-shifting PAXY brings a smoky but sweet nostalgic bent to her alt-pop as she emerges from the shadows with her most daring and self-aware single to date in ‘The Fool’. Blending late-night confessions with razor-sharp self-deprecating humour, PAXY delivers a tongue-in-cheek exploration of self-preservation and self-deception, wrapped in a sound that’s as bold as it is vulnerable.

After several years away from the recording studio, Australian singer-songwriter Thea Fitzgerald is back with her captivating new single, ‘Red Light’ — a track that marks both a musical and personal rebirth, which is premiering right now on The Point Music News, ahead of its September 19 release.

Sydney’s Anna Dine makes her mark with her debut single, ‘kind 2 me’ - a mesmerising blend of breezy indie pop and nu soul swing, which hits digital streaming platforms today.

Melbourne trio Alcotomic have dropped their power-pop rock fuelled album, ‘8 Second Empire’ after over two decades away, pushing through on a string of well-received singles, bringing forth some of the freshest, no-frills Australian alt music to hit the airwaves in some time.

Truly one of the most enduring names in the scene, Sydney-hailing rock trio Cog's trajectory has spanned chart success, countless tours, two J Award nominations and a fanbase that transcends generations against the ever-changing landscape of the music industry and the world at large.
