Follow the ups and downs with emo-punks Bukowski's new single, 'elevator song'

Melbourne-based emo-punk quartet Bukowski have just returned with their latest dignified offering ‘elevator song’ – produced, mixed, and mastered by Jack Newlyn (Paradise Club, Stuck Out).

The track begins with palliative drums and sedative guitars, while the verses are guided by the melancholic vocals of James “Bassy” Karagiozis. Taking cues from influences Jimmy Eat World and Turnover, the song flows gracefully into a chorus filled with emotion and heart, before a brief repetition allows hypnotic layers of rich instrumentation and elegant harmonies, where the lyrics reflect on a collective mental conflict.

All directions lead to Alt Pop Artist, Austen's new single, 'North South East West'

Left-leaning pop artist Austen has today announced her new single North South East West, a gorgeous track about blossoming love, out now on Tank Top Records. Austen has also released a stunning clip to accompany the track, featuring an all-Austen band performing on a ‘60s talk show, filmed by Teel Studios (JOY., Nyxen, Miss Blanks).

The track is an absolute bop that creeps up and hugs you from behind. The synth touches, and the deliberately under-baked guitar sit brilliantly over the pendulum-esque rhythm section, and just under Austen’s balanced and flirty vocals.
