For the penultimate time this month we\u2019ve updated our Discovery playlist on Spotify and Apple Music with ten more tracks of the best new music from Australia and the world; including two tracks we exclusively premiered earlier in the week. Perth alt-country artist Harry Foxton<\/b> is our Track of the Week with his new single \u201cSeen The Dark\u201d.<\/p>\n
Produced by the award-winning Dylan Ollivierre<\/b>, \u201cSeen The Dark\u201d follows a young couple riding through life\u2019s darkness together, hoping to one day venture into the light. According to Foxton, \u201cSeen The Dark reflects on the importance of momentum through life\u2019s hardships. We don\u2019t often see the light without witnessing the dark. The importance for me with this song is the constant belief that tomorrow will outshine the past.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s upbeat, energetic and clearly rooted in a sense of optimism, and as such taps into those rock and roll tropes of redemption and striving for better. It\u2019s almost Springsteeneque in its lyricism, though musically it\u2019s quite reminiscent of recent War on Drugs<\/strong>, with a pulsating rhythm and some pleasing pedal steel courtesy of Jy Perry-Banks. <\/b>It\u2019s a charming and engaging slice of country-tinged indie rock; and luckily for us, it\u2019s just the start. And there\u2019s more on the way with Fear & Forgiveness,<\/i> a full length album set to drop early 2026. Also, there\u2019s a fun music video to accompany the track featuring Foxton in front of fifty different doorways across historic East and Central Fremantle. Be sure to check it out when it drops.<\/p>\n Get to know London 3-piece bar italia<\/strong> ahead of their upcoming tour to Australia via this week\u2019s new single \u201cFundraiser\u201d. They are known for their genre-shifting across indie rock, post-punk, shoegaze, and lo-fi pop. The track is a charismatic, sultry lo-fi banger full of hooks. They\u2019ve announced their new album, Some Like It Hot<\/em>, will be released on 17th October. You can catch them at the sold-out Meredith Music Festival<\/a>, and headline shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in early December. Head to mistletone.net<\/a> for ticket details.<\/p>\n Melbourne trio Telenova<\/strong> dropped a surprise EP this week, BITCRUSH<\/em> \u2013 with three new tracks. The title-track has a darkness to it, as well as inherent beauty, and as always the vocals of Angeline Armstrong are stunning. It\u2019s taken inspiration from UK big-beat, garage, and trip-hop. You can catch them in Sydney on the 11th September at the Oxford Art Factory and at The Night Cat in Melbourne on the 13th September. Head HERE<\/a> for tickets.<\/p>\n \u201cEven When I\u2019m Leaving\u201d is the debut single from Naarm\/Melbourne duo Wishlist <\/b>\u2013 producers and long time collaborators Stella Farnan<\/b> and Soren Maryasin<\/b>. Written and recorded in a secluded studio on the outskirts of the city, there\u2019s a closeness and intimacy to \u201cEven When I\u2019m Leaving\u201d. It\u2019s one of those tracks that is layered in juxtapositions \u2013 one the one hand it\u2019s quite calm, quiet and considered, but on the other there\u2019s a real sense of energy and momentum to it. The duo also find this lovely balance between structure and fracture, and restlessness and elegance. It all makes for a captivating listen.<\/p>\n Keeping things Naarm we also have \u201cSevere Clear\u201d the new single from singer-songwriter Emily Ulman<\/b>. It\u2019s the title track from her forthcoming new album which is all set for release on October 10th, and it\u2019s just beautiful. Channelling a poignant optimism, \u201cSevere Clear\u201d, is according to Ulman \u2018a song about the moments that arrive after everything has settled. It\u2019s about clarity that is so beautiful it is almost unbearable.\u2019<\/i> Folk adjacent, \u201cSevere Clear\u201d is bright and brimming with a quiet optimism; all delivered with real warmth and charm.<\/p>\n Also added to the playlist this week is \u201cput yourself down\u201d, the sophomore single from Stockholm band isobel <\/strong>\u2013 it\u2019s being billed as \u2018MJ Lenderman meets Neil Young in a ten-square-meter flat without any daylight\u2019<\/em>, so make of that what you will. Then we also have \u201cTurn This Love Around\u201d from Melbourne disco-funk ten piece\u00a0Mondo Freaks<\/strong>, featuring vocals from\u00a0Jade McRae<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cLovers Song\u201d from Molly Millington<\/strong> captures fabulously the full flush of early love. It\u2019s a joyous, upbeat, unabashed celebration \u2013 more please! We\u2019ve also added premieres from House of Strangers<\/strong> (\u201cMany Faces\u201d) and Rosy Nolan<\/strong> (\u201cHow It Feels To Fall In Love\u201d).<\/p>\n Catch all the new music updated every Friday on Apple Music:<\/p>\n
