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.
Kendrick Lamar – ‘i’
Having recently collaborated with Flying Lotus for the killer track ‘Never Catch Me’ a release taken from Flying Lotus’ upcoming LP You’re Dead!, Kendrick has now dropped ‘i’ the to first single off his yet-to be-released, yet-to-be-titled LP. (LD)
Ariel Pink – ‘Put Your Number In My Phone’
With new track ‘Put Your Number In My Phone’, from upcoming album pom pom, Pink more or less keeps a lid on his wilder side. Instead he offers up a mild mannered tune built upon a bed of halcyon, Americana-melodic guitars, making quite a sweetly romantic ode to the act of scoring someone’s phone number. (CF)
Apes – ‘Strange Tastes’
Moody restraint is the theme of ‘Strange Tastes’, the killer new released from Ballarat rockers Apes. There’s the deliberate nonchalance of the intro, with its punctuated drum beats, which slips effortlessly into a slinking haze of fuzzed up guitars. With a roundly venerated recent performance at Bigsound, a recent signing to Native Tongue Publishing, and an upcoming UK, Apes are on the rise. Play this one on repeat. (CF)
Elliphant & MØ – ‘One More’
Scandinavia is the centre of the pop music universe right now. In 2014 alone the likes of MØ, Röyksopp & Robyn, Tove Lo and a host of others have been collectively killing it with quality infectious pop tunes. So when two of the Northern Europe’s brightest up and comers collaborate it’s a very very big deal. Rapper singer Elliphant is no stranger to thick beats and gangsta tones, but on ‘One More’ the Swede is joined by Dane Karen Marie Ørsted for a moody mid-tempo number. (CT)
Magic America – ‘Monday Song’
Melbourne’s psych-garage rockers Magic America have just dropped their brand new single ‘Monday Song’. A follow up to their killer single ‘I Thought I Told You’ which was released earlier this year, the songwriting on ‘Monday Song’ is a lot more straight up rock n roll in their approach and they can slay it!

Hollow Everdaze – ‘Ominous’
Mixed by Rob Long (Violent Soho and The Stabs) Melbourne’s Hollow Everdaze havej ust dropped ‘Ominous’ a track which without doubt builds on their neo-psychedelic roots while introducing us to a new level of sophistication from the band. They’ll be launching the single on Oct 4th at Boney (LD)
DMA’s – ‘So We Know’
If you’re a DMA-ddict and can’t get enough from the Sydney boys, you’ll be glad to know that the band are about to release a brand new 7″ this November. The announcement comes the news that the 7” will also be released in the USA through Mermaid Avenue/Mom & Pop Records (Wavves, Smith Westerns, FIDLAR, Sleigh Bells) and in Europe through Partisan Records (Eagulls, The Dismemberment Plan), all of which will coincide with the band’s debut performances in the USA and Europe this October/November around their showcase dates at the CMJ Music Marathon 2014.

New York trio LOLAWOLF have dropped their new single ‘Jimmy Franco’ and announced their debut album Calm Down will be released October 10 via Create Control and Innit Recordings. Fronted by Zoë Kravitz, LOLAWOLF’s new single is a a more laid back tribal influence affair. These guys are definitely worth keep their eye on. (LD)
