Salarymen spread the good vibes in the new track Rerun. You’ll love the Sydney duo if you’re fans of Beach House and Tame Impala or in the mood for a song on Spotify’s Good Vibes, Indie Pop, or Chill Vibes.
Songwriter and vocalist Renee says “This song is about longing for a place you desperately need to get back to, while you’re stuck somewhere else. The lyrics reflect the stress of being separated from those you love, and the sense of tension that builds up inside of you and starts to drive you a little crazy. The last two years have felt a bit like groundhog day, and that starts to eat away at your mental health after a while”.
The duo has landed on Spotify Fresh Finds, Apple’s New Music Daily while garnering shoutouts from NME, Wild Honey Pie, and Louder Than War. The band has a string of upcoming shows across Sydney.

Thea Wang released the melancholic track While He Is Still Asleep. You’ll love if you like Joni Mitchell and are in the mood for something sad. It’s the first song the Norwegian dream pop singer songwriter ever wrote on a guitar, that started her solo project. Thea wang rose up through Oslo’s Academy of Music, before performing alongside with SIGRID and August Kann.
Wang notes, “It’s a melancholic song about heartbreak, love, and the timeless early signs of erosion in/of a relationship. I had just bought a guitar, tried to learn how to play, and out of that this song appeared. I saw this story and couple clearly in my mind, and for some years I thought I had made it all up. Years later, I realise there may be some hidden truths from my own life at that time in it as well.”
Nashville-based Carli Brill impresses with the new track Kaleidoscope. It’s perfect if you’re in the mood for something jazzy or retro pop and want to travel back in time to the 60’s and hang with the The Beach Boys and The Mamas and The Papas. The song could find a home on any Spotify indie playlist.
Brill says “I wrote Kaleidoscope during a time where I was doing a lot of self-discovery. I’m continually on this deep search for my identity and I had realized my true self always lied within me, I just needed to turn the lens and uncover her. I love the irony of the song being dreamy while lyrically it’s about waking up to your own reality. The kaleidoscope represents how we as humans are continually changing, moving, morphing yet always possess that essential piece to who we are- even if it’s yet to be discovered.”
