Somehow it\u2019s March already, but we\u2019re still here with ten more new releases to add to our Discovery playlist on Spotify and Apple Music \u2013 including two singles we exclusively premiered earlier in the week. Adelaide indie rockers Sunsick Daisy<\/strong> take Track of the Week with their brand new single \u201cWaiting For\u201d.<\/p>\n

Following on from October\u2019s \u201cPale Blue\u201d, new single \u201cWaiting For\u201d sees the trio continue to expand their eclectic sound while still keeping their signature shoegaze atmospherics at the core of everything they do. \u201cWaiting For\u201d captures the emotional tension of trying to define a relationship and offers up a lovely dual vocal combo up front. The band\u2019s tour drive soundtracks have seeped into this one as well, with lots of Glen Campbell listening bringing a touch of the countryfied heartache to the mix too.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in Adelaide you can catch the band opening for Pacific Avenue this Saturday at Hindley Street Music Hall. Tickets available HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been obsessed with all things Aldous Harding<\/strong> for years, so the arrival of new music from the New Zealand artist is always something of an event. Harding has just shared the mesmerising new single \u201cOne Stop\u201d, the first taste of her forthcoming fifth studio album Train On The Island<\/em>, due out on 8 May 2026. It marks her first new material since the brilliant Warm Chris<\/em> in 2022, and it\u2019s safe to say the wait has been worth it. As always, she flies in the face of the obvious, mixing up cadence and melodies. Stick this on high-rotation and you will applaud the art behind it.<\/p>\n

Kaiyah Mercedes<\/strong> dives into the emotional fallout of a whirlwind relationship on the gripping new single \u201c3 Month Blackout\u201d. Driven by punchy guitars and dynamic percussion, the track channels the chaos and clarity that come with moving on, balancing moments of intensity with quieter, reflective passages. Do checkout the video<\/a> as well \u2013 it\u2019s brilliant. It has Kaiyah and her bandmates crash landing on a desert island and their quest for survival.<\/p>\n

AU favourite Mia Kelly<\/b> is back with another new single this week and is bringing Australia\u2019s own Kim Churchill<\/b> along for the ride. \u201cTimes Easy To Blame\u201d is a song all about growing up, falling in love, and navigating all those inevitable hurdles that life tends to throw your way. It\u2019s a gorgeous slice of folk inflected pop \u2013 full of warmth, shine and just joyful energy. Kelly and Churchill\u2019s vocals aside \u2013 which are top drawer \u2013 there\u2019s some lovely instrumentation working in the background here too. You can currently catch Kelly at the Port Fairy Folk Festival this weekend and then a handful of more dates before she heads back to Canada for a cross-country tour with Churchill.

Sydney duo Salarymen<\/strong> keep the momentum rolling with the extended edition of their debut album, Take It Or Leave It<\/em>, arriving alongside the new single \u201cBorrowed Time\u201d. Fresh from a massive UK tour supporting DMA\u2019S and Old Mervs, the band return with an atmospheric blend of psych-pop and indie rock, pairing hazy, reverb-soaked guitars and warbly synths with lush harmonies. As Renee de la Motte explains, in a world increasingly obsessed with youth, women in music are often made to feel their relevance has a shelf life long before their artistry has had the chance to fully mature.<\/p>\n

The duo will continue to take on the road with Australian headline shows this March and a showcase at The Great Escape in the UK this May. Head HERE<\/a> for tickets for the Australian tour<\/p>\n

Ahead of the release of their EP EPeepee<\/i> later this month Glasgow duo Cowboy Hunters<\/b> have released the collection\u2019s heaviest, most poignant, and perhaps most tongue-in-cheek track \u2013 \u201cShag Slags Not Flags\u201d. It\u2019s safe to say this one won\u2019t be getting a huge amount of airplay on public radio and that there is explicit lyrics should come as absolutely no surprise. It\u2019s unabashedly political, with the duo taking aim firmly at the sea of social media keyboard warrior racists that have flooded the internet in recent years. It\u2019s also kinda catchy, with witty lyrics delivered with a delightful irreverence and a sort of sludgy atmospheric charm.<\/p>\n

Also added to the playlist this week is \u201cIf I Was A Mother\u201d, the latest single from Oslo indie quartet\u00a0Veps<\/strong> and their forthcoming third album ChurchyardStreet 8B<\/em> (Out May 29th); and \u201cCaroline\u201d from Tasmania\u2019s Nice House<\/strong> \u2013 the band\u2019s first new music since \u00a0the release of their debut EP The Life and Death of an Indoor Houseplant<\/i> in April 2025.<\/p>\n

We have also added two premieres from earlier in the week \u2013 with \u201cPull the Plug\u201d from Social Strangers<\/strong> and \u201cSomebody New\u201d from Odd Marshall<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
