We\u2019re adding ten new tracks to our Discovery Playlist<\/strong> on Spotify and Apple Music this week, including one we premiered exclusively earlier in the week. Our Track of the Week<\/strong> comes from Naarm\u2019s sleepazoid<\/strong>, with their stunning new single \u201cFIG TREE\u201d, lifted from their forthcoming EP NEW AGE<\/em>, due out February 5, 2026.<\/p>\n A masterclass in building emotional intensity, \u201cFIG TREE\u201d finds frontwoman Nette France<\/strong> reflecting on the question, \u201cWhen you feel love, does it ever go away, or does it just change?\u201d<\/em> atop a soundscape of isolating echoes and gentle guitar tones, before the song erupts into a flurry of urgent, expansive riffs and vocal lament. Softer and more vulnerable than their previous offerings, the track captures sleepazoid<\/em> at their most delicate and dynamic. \u201cIt felt softer and more delicate than anything we\u2019d done before\u2026 the more time we spent on it, the more we felt it was part of the NEW AGE world \u2013 slide guitar, big dynamic shifts \u2013 it\u2019s always a nice moment in our live sets where we can change pace and be vulnerable with the audience,\u201d<\/em> Nette shares. It\u2019s little wonder there is such a buzz about sleeepazoid.<\/p>\n Jem Cassar-Daley<\/strong> returns with \u201cAre We Too Bored To Be Sorry?\u201d, a tender yet candid reflection on the cyclical nature of toxic love. Co-written with Joel Quartermaine<\/strong> and Ed White<\/strong>, the track captures the exhausting rhythm of arguing, making up and falling back into the same patterns \u2014 heartbreak wrapped in melody. With her unmistakable sincerity and graceful delivery, Jem once again proves her talent for making heartbreak sound irresistibly sweet.<\/p>\n London\u2019s feminist feral theatre-punks Twat Union<\/strong> unleash a riotous anthem with \u201cTiny Shorts\u201d \u2014 a fiery middle finger to catcalling, judgement, and the double standards women face for what they wear. The band call it \u201ca pushback against the assumptions that are made about people based on the clothes they choose to wear,\u201d<\/em> urging self-expression without fear or shame. Raw, unapologetic, and bursting with attitude, the track channels the same electric energy as our own mighty Amyl and the Sniffers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Sydney queer collective FVNERAL<\/strong> return with \u201cfriendly fire\u201d featuring Ben Lee<\/strong>, a poignant and powerful release timed with Trans Awareness Week. It marks the band\u2019s second single since welcoming Madeleine Powers<\/strong> (RAGEFLOWER) and Ben Siva<\/strong> (jnr.) to the lineup \u2014 a new era defined by heart and solidarity.\u00a0 \u201cfriendly fire\u201d blends emotional honesty with a deep sense of community purpose.<\/p>\n Eora\/Sydney pop power-duo Foley<\/strong> return with \u201cHoney\u201d, a shimmering ode to love that endures through the sweet and the sour. Following their second album That\u2019s Life Baby!<\/em><\/a> and recent single \u201cSuckerpunch\u201d, the track finds the pair exploring those moments when you push a little too hard in an argument \u2014 and the relief of knowing your partner will still have your back. \u201cWhenever I spill my guts you stitch me up, honey,\u201d<\/em> they sing, capturing both the sting and the tenderness of real connection. Effortlessly smooth and heartfelt, \u201cHoney\u201d is Foley at their most golden.<\/p>\n Gold Coast songwriter Chloe Styler<\/strong> delivers a deeply affecting moment with \u201cPlaceholder\u201d, a tender reflection on being loved for convenience rather than connection. Opening with warm acoustic guitar and Chloe\u2019s gentle, aching vocal, the track slowly blooms into a stirring mix of mandolin, soft synths and gliding electric guitar. Bruised yet resolute, \u201cPlaceholder\u201d captures the bittersweet space between heartbreak and healing \u2014 diary-like intimacy wrapped in polished pop craftsmanship.<\/p>\n Eora\/Sydney pop newcomer Gena Stone<\/strong> shares \u201cExpectations\u201d, the focus track from her debut EP Screaming Love<\/em>, out today. Described by Gena as an \u201canti-love song\u201d, it\u2019s a witty and empowering reminder of self-worth, delivered with the playful bite of her influences like Lily Allen. \u201c\u2026if someone makes you feel like sh*t, you very much have the power to walk away and not put up with it \u2014 because that doesn\u2019t meet your expectations,\u201d<\/em> she explains. Confessional yet light-hearted, \u201cExpectations\u201d is a sharp introduction to a voice unafraid to call things as they are. Checkout the cracking video<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n Dublin trio Really Good Time<\/strong> have unleashed \u201cShit One\u201d, a blistering post-punk anthem built for a dancefloor that\u2019s probably on fire.\u00a0 It\u2019s packed with hooks, and visceral energy as they channel their disbelief in modern chaos into sharp riffs and biting lyricism. \u201cIt\u2019s about a culture that revels in the spectacle of doom,\u201d<\/em> frontman Wastefellow<\/strong> explains \u2014 a sardonic howl against anxiety, nostalgia, and the false promise that \u201cthings will just get better.\u201d<\/em> Raw, restless, and perfectly unhinged, \u201cShit One\u201d firmly cements Really Good Time<\/strong> as one of Ireland\u2019s most exciting new acts. Hopefully we see them in Australia before too long.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve also added \u201cPink Liquor\u201d from London\u2019s Hot Face<\/strong>, an urgent and uplifting slice of garage punk. Finally, we have \u201cEverything Is A Blessing\u201d from Callum Padgham<\/strong>\u00a0which we premiered earlier in the week.<\/p>\n Catch all the new music updated every Friday on Apple Music:<\/p>\n
