There\u2019s a certain kind of chaos to digging through emerging artists<\/a> \u2014 half the time it\u2019s one track, no bio, and a Bandcamp link that may or may not load. But that\u2019s also where the good stuff lives.<\/span><\/p>\n This week\u2019s New Music Radar pulls together a mix of artists from Australia, across the ditch<\/a> and beyond, all carving out their own lane<\/a> without waiting for permission. Different sounds, different scenes, same energy \u2013 figuring it out in real time.<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s what\u2019s been on rotation.<\/span><\/p>\n One-Eared Boy Orphan Train Riders<\/em> lands somewhere between Nick Cave and Beck, with a thread of Daniel Johnston-style fragility running through it. <\/span><\/p>\n It pulls from the real-life story of the Orphan Train Riders \u2013 over 250,000 children relocated across the US between 1853 and 1929 \u2013 and leans into themes of displacement, grief and survival, but don\u2019t let the subject matter sway you \u2013 s<\/span>onically, it moves between indie rock and folk, in all the right ways.<\/span><\/p>\nOne-Eared Boy<\/span>
