This week the award-winning West Australian singer-songwriter <b>Finn Pearson<\/b> takes out our Track of the Week with his new single \u201cTunnel Lights\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTunnel Lights\u201d is a track which sees Pearson leaning further into the alt-country rock territory he\u2019s been flirting with on previous releases; without losing any of intimacy and emotional authenticity that is a trademark of his songwriting. The song, which has been a few years in the making, explores the disintegration of a relationship and its aftermath \u2013 prime country rock material, really.<\/p>\n<p>Musically it\u2019s quite interesting, with almost a dreamy undercurrent interspersed with these grittier moments \u2013 there\u2019s some gorgeous atmospheric slide guitar work on this one too, which really accentuates the song\u2019s emotional core alongside Pearson\u2019s adept lyricism. West Australian audiences can catch him at shows across the South West and Perth through the rest of the month. For more information and to get tickets head <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.auxiliaryrecords.com\/finn-pearson\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Georgie Winchester<\/strong> is an AU favourite, and for good reason: she\u2019s a lovely, instinctive songwriter with a knack for making vulnerability feel loud, lived-in and immediate. Her new single, \u201cCrying In Private,\u201d leans into that gift with pure rock &amp; roll energy, turning the refrain \u201cI don\u2019t wanna be crying in private, let me cry in public\u201d into a loud, liberating rock anthem for anyone tired of hiding their emotions. It was recorded at Dashville Bush Studios and backed by Dashville Community Records, the home of the brilliant Gum Ball amongst other events in the Hunter Valley. The track is the first taste from her forthcoming album <em>Dust &amp; Salt<\/em>, due in November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet This Be\u201d is the latest release from Boorloo\u2019s <b>People Taking Pictures<\/b> \u2013 a boundary pushing project from Psychedelic Porn Crumpets\u2019 <b>Luke Parrish<\/b>, MC <b>POW! Negro<\/b> from <b>Superego<\/b> and <b>Myriad Sun<\/b>. The single serves as the first taste of the band\u2019s upcoming EP <i>SOOP <\/i>(Out June 11th). Urgent, chaotic and pushing with blistering raw energy \u201cLet It Be\u201d is a captivating blend of psychedelic rock, jazz fusion, hip hop and electronica. You can catch them on the road in June and July, with more details to follow.<\/p>\n<p>Feminist feral theatre-punks <strong>Twat Union<\/strong> are back with \u201cPeriod Sex\u201d, a gloriously chaotic garage-punk anthem that\u2019s already become a fan favourite in their riotous live sets. Equal parts hilarious, confrontational and cathartic, the track tackles menstruation, embarrassment and dating anxiety head-on, with vocalist <strong>Kate Mac<\/strong> describing it as both \u201ca true story\u201d and a push against the lingering taboo around period sex. The single arrives alongside a tongue-in-cheek whodunit-style <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M7hDF5L80p8\">video<\/a>, while the band heads to The Great Escape this week for two showcase appearances before a packed UK summer festival run. We can\u2019t wait to see them live in Brighton.<\/p>\n<p>Also added to the playlist this week is \u201cWait\u201d, the new single from Canadian teen rock band <b>Thunder Queens<\/b>. With GRAMMY Award-winning producer <b>Dave Schiffman<\/b> at the helm \u201cWait\u201d sees the young trio channeling the sound and spirit of the golden era of Canada\u2019s East Coast indie rock scene. Scrappy, filled with thick guitar riffs, there\u2019s a wonderful dynamism and energy to \u201cWait\u201d, with everything delivered at breakneck pace and intensity in complete contradiction to the song title.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Go-Jo<\/strong> is leaning hard into feel-good pop chaos on \u201cSweat\u201d, a super-catchy dance anthem packed with massive hooks, bright production, and enough energy to soundtrack an entire summer. Featuring guest vocals from <strong>Amy<\/strong> and <strong>George Sheppard<\/strong>, the track bursts with charisma from the opening beat and feels tailor-made for festival crowds and late-night dancefloors alike. It\u2019s utterly irresistible.<\/p>\n<p>This week we also have \u201cAvon Valley\u201d, the latest release from West Australia\u2019s answer to CSNY, folk rockers <b>The Bures Band<\/b>. Fresh from a successful international run which included appearances on KEXP and SXSW, the WA five piece are preparing for the release of their forthcoming album <i>Ozonia<\/i>, with more \u2018kraut-rock\u2019 inspired jams filled with jangling guitars, rich harmonies and even the occasional bit of flute. There\u2019s a real warmth and familiarity to \u201cAvon Valley\u201d that just makes for an enjoyable time.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, also added to the playlist is an exploration of relationship changes through the lens of seasonal change from Australian singer-songwriter <strong>Dingo<\/strong> (\u201cAutumn\u201d) and \u201cGorge\u201d off <em>Scouch<\/em> the debut album from Melbourne\u2019s <strong>Cycad<\/strong>, which we premiered the video for earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>Catch all the new music updated every Friday on Apple Music:<\/p>\n<p><iframe height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-dashlane-frameid=\"5752\" data-src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/au\/playlist\/discovery-the-best-new-music\/pl.u-PDb4zlBFeRGjdkY\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>and on Spotify:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" data-src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/4UWYHQZ83r0lhP530Qy2Il?utm_source=generator\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the complete list of new additions this week:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finn Pearson<\/strong> \u201cTunnel Lights\u201d<br \/><strong>Georgie Winchester<\/strong> \u201cCrying In Private\u201d<br \/><strong>People Taking Pictures<\/strong> \u201cLet This Be (ft. <strong>POW!
