Every week a plethora of big name acts, Australian musicians and little-known musos drop brand spankin’ new tracks on the internet. We’ve trawled through the internet to find some of our favourites and plucked them from the masses. Grab your headphones and enjoy.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – ‘Cellophane’
So it’s pretty safe to say everyone’s favourite local psych seven piece King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have been killing it of late, with the latest being the announcement that their upcoming LP titled I’m In Your Mind Fuzz will be released by Thee Oh Sees frontman John Dwyer on his label Castle Face Records in the USA and in the UK and Europe on Heavenly Recordings. Set for release locally via Remote Control/ Flightless on October 31st, I’m In Your Mind Fuzz will be the band’s fifth release within two years. (LD)
Japanese Wallpaper – ‘Between Friends’
Triple J Unearthed winner Japanese Wallpaper (aka Gab Strum) has just dropped his latest track ‘Between Friends’ which features also ridiculously talented Jesse Davidson on vocals and local producer extraordinaire Andre Eremin on mastering duties, it’s a dreamy, slow burning number in that drifts along in delicate Japanese Wallpaper fashion.

Flying Lotus – ‘Never Catch Me'(feat Kendrick Lamar)
October 7th Flying Lotus will be back with his new LP You’re Dead! Having already released the single ‘Moment of Hesitation’ which featured Herbie Hancock and Thundercat among others. The next track we’re hearing from the LA based producer’s LP is ‘Never Catch Me’ a collaboration with Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar. You’re Dead! Will be out locally via WARP/ Inertia. (LD)
Robyn – ‘Tell You (Today)’
While Robyn has been gallivanting across the world with Röyksopp in support of their Do It Again mini-album, which will take in Falls and Southbound over New Years, her take on ‘Tell You’ is refreshingly unlike anything the Swedish pop star has done before. It’s still incredibly dancey, but this funk and jazz-infused track is more on the David Byrne end of the pop spectrum than it is hers. It’s less than surprising given that Russell collaborated with Talking Heads during his lifetime. (CT)
Andre Eremin/ Milwaukee Banks – ‘Sweater Made Of Gold (Remix)’
With the release of Andrei Eremin‘s remix of ‘Sweater Made Of Gold’ Milwaukee Banks have announced the release of their upcoming remix EP, a follow up to their Rose Water EP. Over the next few months they’ll be dropping remixes by the progressive production talents of our favourites Friendships, the incredible Lucianblomkamp, alt-hip hop heroes RaRa and Northern Irish beatmaker SertOne.

Steve Gunn – ‘Milly’s Garden’
Steve Gunn is a New York-based guitarist and songwriter whose impressive career spans nearly fifteen years, over those years Steve has produced volumes of critically acclaimed solo, duo, and ensemble recordings, including as part of (the insanely popular) Kurt Vile’s band. His new album titled Way Out Weather is set for release locally October 3rd via the purveyors of great taste Mistletone Records. (LD)
Basenji – ‘Heirloom’
After signing to Future Classic this year it’s fait to say Sydney native Basenji’s next output was highly anticipated, and with ‘Heirloom’ (his first track via Future Classic) he delivers. Very Cashmere Cat cross Wave Racer, but still original and completely exciting. Right now Baseneji is leaving us hanging for his new EP which according to his press release is ‘on the horizon’. (LD)
TV On The Radio – ‘Happy Idiot’
Brooklyn four-piece TV On The Radio return in 2014 with their fifth studio album, Seeds. While you’ll have to wait until November 14th for the release they’ve given us a tantalising taste in lead single, Happy Idiot. The track has all the indie rock and funk hallmarks of their past work, but there is no doubt that ‘Happy Idiot’ has underlying tones of darkness. (CT)
Hookworms – ‘The Impasse’
Hookworms are picking up exactly where Eagulls left us earlier this year, ravaging ears the world over with a ferocious and infectious new track called ‘The Impasse’. Fuzz cakes this track like a child clinging to their Mum on the first day of kindergarten. It’s affectionate, but if you try and detach either from another, you’ll only be met with wailing and claws.
