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.

Broadway Sounds – ‘Something Sensual’

80s influenced psychedelic pop band Broadway Sounds have just released their brand new single and video to ‘Something Sensual’ and it’s definitely worth taking note of. Created and headed by created by singer/ songwriter/ producer/ multi instrumentalist/ dj Andrew Diamond Phillips, the Melbourne based four piece dropped the afro infused ‘Booby Trap’ earlier this year, ‘Something Sensual’ is the follow up.

WU LYF – ‘Unites’

Ellery James Roberts is a bit of a vanishing act, leaving fleeting traces of poetic, musical genius and then disappearing again before the world can properly soak in his work. Roberts was the lead singer of the ill-fated WU LYF, who disbanded all too soon in 2012 but not before leaving behind a captivating debut album, Go Tell Fire To The Mountain. Luckily Roberts has continued on with different projects and still carries the essence of WU LYF’s spirit with him. (DM)

DMA’s- ‘Laced’

With each new release, Sydney’s resident buzz band, DMA’s, have proven themselves more and more worthy of the hype that’s surrounded them since they first caught our attention earlier this year with their debut single, ‘Delete’. Now, they’ve returned to prove that the Britpop revival is really happening with their new single ‘Laced’. (GM)

I’lls – ‘Fifty-Phiphti’

I’lls are an electronica based three-piece that hail from Melbourne that create some of the most jaw-dropping productions we’ve heard in a long time. The trio have released two tracks, ‘Fifty-Phiphti’ and ‘Asakusa’, to no surprise, both tunes are outrageously great. Taking listen first of ‘Fifty-Phiphti’, one is instantly lifted high above the clouds, the blissful, chilling basic synth loops deeply immersing. (JH)

British India – ‘Wrong Direction’

‘Wrong Direction’ sees the band dip into a more mature, refined alt-rock sound, slowly building to an almighty cathartic closer that is going to be wicked live. The new track is from the band’s forthcoming fifth full-length LP, their first since Controller, set for release some time in the new year. (JH)

Pond – ‘Elvis’ Flaming Star’

Last week POND announced their forthcoming record, Man It Feels Like Space Again, will be out January 23, 2015 and this week the guys have released a studio version of the tune, their first official release since we rode their fat-riffed spacecraft to 2013’s Hobo Rocket.  With studio refinements, ‘Elvis’ Flaming Star’ naturally sounds a lot cleaner, still charged with the clapping ‘Footloose’/’Close To Me’ percussion and funky as fuck bass lines as Nick Allbrook takes listeners through POND’s woozy world of Aussie psychedelica.

Dan Saltan – ‘Mountaintop’

Dan Sultan recently released his soulful new single ‘Mountaintop’, which is the first cut from Sultan’s upcoming solo EP Dirty Ground. A follow up to Sultan’s acclaimed 2014 LP Blackbird which our Tone Deaf writer called “everything a good Australian rock album should be” Dirty Ground is a compilation of sparse and stunning new songs as well as some quieter moments and B-sides from the LP.

Tam Vantage – ‘The Boy Who Always Wins’

‘The Boy Who Always Wins’ is the debut single from Tam Vantage, the solo project of Melbourne band Pop Singles’ frontman of the same name. Formed in 2009 and clearly taking cues from local legendary bands like The Go Betweens, and The Chills, Pop Singles captured Melbourne’s attention with their stunning debut 2012 LP All Gone.

After a change in direction and the decision to go solo, Vantage spent a year in the studio with Simon Grounds (Teeth and Tongue, Bushwalking, Laura Jean, Birdblobs, God) and now a debut album is finished,’The Boy Who Always Wins’ is the first we’re hearing from the upcoming album. (LD)
