We’ve become a fan of the Brisbane trio Avaberée (aye-va-ber-ee). The new single “Can’t Get You Off My Mind” is a solemn & enigmatic classic that has Enya-esque melody. The song was crafted in Los Angeles with upcoming producer Tommy English (Ladyhawke, Borns) which comes off the forth coming EP, ‘In your arms I found my secrets’. Avaberée has toured the east coast of Australia supporting Matt Corby, Emma Louise, Will and The People, The Trouble With Templeton and Stu Larson. Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J says “This is really elegant and nodding pop music. The approach has obvious charm but it’s adorned simply enough to really make an impact with each listen.”

Brooklyn based Marlowe Grey released Sugar Plumb Fairy that will come off the new EP, ‘Midnight In Brooklyn’. The track is ambient & hypnotic capturing a slice Radiohead. Frontman Anthony Pietro states that “the single is inspired by ““The title itself comes from listening to old Beatles and John Lennon bootlegs where Lennon himself would often start his takes with ‘sugar plum fairy, sugar plum fairy,’ instead of the traditional ‘one-two, one-two.'” The band has performed Brooklyn Bowl, Mercury Lounge and The Knitting Factory and will release the debut EP this fall followed by an LP soon after.

We’ve become fans of Corey Valentine, an electronic dream pop from Brighton, California. Tracks such as The Glow & Pieces are layered in synths, guitars, harmonies and reverb offering the best of indie pop. The group takes musical inspiration from classic acts such as Tears for Fears and modern electro artists such as Chvrches. The new track Pieces offers chorused guitars and layers of vintage synthesizers, delivering nostalgia tickling, electronic dream pop which harks back to the sound of the 80’s while maintaining a contemporary edge.

Sherpa, a Copenhagen singer & producer released ‘In Your Blood‘ with fanfare. It’s upbeat, melancholic, infectious with an 80’s vibe.

He has performed at Berlin Music Week where he shared the stage with artists such as Jaakko Eino Kalevi.

22 Year old Sydney based folk artist Gordi is buzzing. Her single “Can We Work It Out” has been added to Australia’s triple j. In late 2014, Gordi (Sophie Payten) picked up a lot of attention with her track “Nothing’s As It Seems”, a luminous pop track which drew comparisons ranging from Angel Olson, Asgeir, Joni Mitchell and Tallest Man On Earth.
