Now at the five year mark of their career, Gold Coast synth-pop duo Lastlings release their debut album, First Contact.

First Contact is the ultimate combination of art, tradition and determination. It’s an auspicious first glimpse into the universe, as built and told by the enigmatic pair, and a promise of what’s yet to come.

With back to back ear-worms from front to back, First Contact becomes the ideal soundtrack for your gym workout, for your favourite club or even a dance party at home.

SPIRITS PT.1 is the first instalment of what is a 22-track double album from LANKS.

LANKS has spent the past 2 years, since his debut album twentyseven, working on his new project lindsay and building the LANKS sound into a well-rounded soundscape that is at times moody, yet equally powerful in nature.

Written across 4 different cities (Sydney, Melbourne, LA and NYC), LANKS found a natural home collaborating with artists around the globe. PT. 1 of this record features all guest lead vocalists and PT. 2 will see LANKS return to that role.

Almost two years on from the release of her debut album, Thick Skin, Tia Gostelow is entering a new chapter defined by growth, both personal and musical, hence the name CHRYSALIS. It marks Gostelow coming into her own and taking control of her creative output.

This time around, Tia knew she wanted to explore an ‘80s-inspired synth-pop sound.

Produced by Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy), the record blends Tia’s indie-pop sound with a lush ‘80s influence. In addition to working with Oscar, Tia co-wrote with a variety of other Native Tongue writers for CHRYSALIS including Japanese Wallpaper, Ben Stewart (Slowly Slowly), Sam Telford and LANKS.

A huge congratulations to David Long who last night took home Best Original Music in a Series at the 2020 APRA AMCOS NZ Silver Scrolls.

David received this award for his work on the 6-part miniseries The Luminaries, based on Eleanor Catton’s 2013 novel of the same name.

David’s impressive credits include the likes of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, McLaren (2017), The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) and King Kong (2005), just to name a few.

Kingswood create an alternate realm in delivering Reveries, the reimagined vision of their third studio record, Juveniles.

The band takes the music of Juveniles into a more intimate and nuanced sonic space. Reveries enabled them to swap out the harder rock sounds and unlock a more tender and impassioned side of the original album.

Both records stand strong on their own, with Reveries mirroring Juveniles’ heart and impassioned songwriting, while offering a new listening experience that provides a blend of Americana, gypsy swing, bluegrass and even chamber-inspired moments.
