Brisbane's LOVELOVELOVE go deep with euphoric new single, 'holding on'

Brisbane indie-pop project LOVELOVELOVE follow up on their first single, ‘smalltowns’ with a emotive, deep cut in latest single, ‘holding on’, which is yet another taste of their debut EP due in mid-2022.

‘holding on’ is both wistful, yet full of hope thanks mainly to the use of the cushioning, warping sound of the mellotron (famously used in The Beatles’ ‘Strawberry Fields Forever). The pulsing dance beat echoes the fluffy tones of the mellotron, along with mixture of breathy and falsetto vocals.

Brisbane's Reckless Coast go full throttle and swagger with latest single, 'Do You Want Me?'

Brisbane three-piece Reckless Coast (formerly Rude Rum) go full throttle with their latest single, ‘Do You Want Me?’; a track that presents a modern euphoria that reminisces on Australian Rock nostalgia.

‘Do You Want Me?’ starts with a crash of the likes we haven’t heard since Stone Temple Pilots’ ‘Trippin’ On A Hole In A Paper Heart’; but don’t be fooled, this track isn’t veering off in to post-grunge alt rock world. This is straight up rock’n’roll swagger, with so much damn swing, it’s a surprise the hips aren’t dislocated.

Gold Coast's Wandering Blind offer up danceable overcast pop in new single, 'Oh Well'
Gold Coast's Wandering Blind offer up danceable overcast pop in new single, 'Oh Well'

Gold Coast’s Wandering Blind have brought forth a follow up to last year’s debut single, ‘Candidate’ with sophomore single, ‘Oh Well’ - a slice of danceable, overcast pop.

‘Oh Well’ whether it knows it or not, has its roots deep in 80s New Wave and early emo/goth (think The Cure in their ‘The Head On the Door’ phase). With a stripped-back live arrangement (Wandering Blind are a two-piece), in the studio, they’ve taken on extra instrumentation to thicken out the layers
