Washington – ‘Rich Kids’ (mp3)

Washington has sure gone a long way from Clementine. Now this blog’s favourite, her voice can easily carry any jazz tune but her pop songwriting and feisty personality is what separates this girl from the rest of the singer-songwriting pack. Rich Kids is yet another winner from her repertoire.

Tame Impala – ‘Runway, Houses, City, Clouds’ (mp3)

I am personally excited about Tame Impala’s upcoming debut album titled Innerspeaker. These boys from Perth have done amazingly well in setting themselves up for a decent debut. Their liveshows are exciting to watch and for this kind of music is more energetic than what I was expecting initially. I met them on the BDO tour in January and are quite nice lads, which is always a plus.

Innerspeaker, is out May 21 in Australia and June 8th internationally.

The Optimen – 80s Babies from TheOptimen on Vimeo.

Very cool video game-inspired video. I’m always surprised The Optimen don’t get more kudos – they’re one of the better groups in the cesspit of strine that is Aussie hip-hop.

The lead track off Ghostdrums’ forthcoming self-titled EP. Such a beautiful filmclip – a “love letter to vintage equipment” indeed.

Guerre – ‘Light Between Everyone’ (mp3)

I posted about Guerre only a few weeks back and already he’s supplied a sweet new track, ‘Light Between Everyone.’ This one is a short, tender folk song draped in reverb and layers of fragile vocals and shifts into a dreamy organ coda after only two verses. Really beautiful.

Guerre is also doing Monday night performances at the Excelsior, which is basically him, a mic, some effects and a loop pedal. The footage I’ve seen is really good, and you can check out some of it below.
