If you haven't heard the debut from Alison Parade then you are certainly missing out. I dare you to listen to this song just once without hitting that replay button. The evolution of ‘Mum Found My Cigarettes’ occurred in parallel with the growth of the band, resulting in a track that wields a nostalgic feel, reflective of the band's progress and provides a comment on life and striking a balance between privilege and purpose in the strange times we find ourselves in.
The Deenys shine a light on the unfulfilling and ultimately damaging nature of the expectations and pressures placed on young people with their new sing a long tune. They outline how easy it is to slip into an avoidant lifestyle as a young person, trying to maintain some small semblance of “paradise” through drugs, damaging relationships, unfulfilling goals and a general lack of purpose. This hedonism acts a bandaid to a hollow life, perfectly summated by the title 'Lonely Paradise'.
'In The Sky' is the brand new single from Perth based Indie Pop artist Nikkita. The track combines elements of EDM with her soulful songwriting and an intricate, uplifting style of music that seems to feature a raw sense of honesty.

Building slowly across the song, the tension and dejection builds throughout, with reverberating guitars breaking through to color the hurt and heartbreak felt by Skye. ‘Pity Love’ soars as an anthem for those who’ve been hurt by careless hearts.

This is the second double single offering from Jocelyn’s Baby. Both Grab Your Gun and Closing Time (music dies) manage to be nostalgic yet subversive, and at the same time unapologetically lush and cinematic. But above all else, it’s just some silly queer fun; think Quinten Tarantino musical stylings but gay, not problematic and most probably without all the foot fetishes.
