Our Track of the Week is <strong>Swapmeet<\/strong>\u2019s \u201c2 C U\u201d, with the Adelaide outfit delivering a hazy, lofi slice of restrained infatuation that instantly got under our skin.<\/p>\n<p>Built around grainy guitar textures, shoegaze-adjacent warmth and an understated sense of yearning, \u201c2 C U\u201d captures the nervous anticipation of wanting to see someone without ever tipping into melodrama. Instead, Swapmeet let the tension simmer beneath the surface, with the dual vocals of Maxwell Elphick and Venus O\u2019Broin drifting effortlessly through the track\u2019s infectious, see-sawing rhythm. It\u2019s one of those tracks that pulls you deeper with every listen. It\u2019s another sharp reminder of why Swapmeet are fast becoming one of Australia\u2019s most talked-about emerging bands, with their debut album <em>Mount Zero<\/em> set to arrive on\u00a0 the 17th of July.<\/p>\n<p>This week sees Adelaide\u2019s <strong>PASH<\/strong> release their self-titled EP; the culmination of what has already been a busy and successful year \u2013 with a run of sold-out headline shows, a Laneway Festival debut, and more already under their belts. And it sounds like that is just the start. The six track EP features already released singles, \u201cEast End Girls\u201d, \u201cRicochet\u201d and \u201cTracy\u201d, and our playlist add \u201cSolid Ground\u201d \u2013 it\u2019s big, bold, and delivered with just an overflow of swagger and style that kind of feels like from an earlier era. Boybands are back, but not as you know it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JACOT\u00c9NE<\/strong> continues to prove why she\u2019s one of Australia\u2019s most compelling young voices with \u201cTELL ME (I HEARD IT FROM MY FATHER)\u201d, a stirring and deeply emotional release that steadily builds from brooding introspection into a soaring, cathartic crescendo. Self-described as an \u201canthem for the ones who want to feel appreciated\u201d, the track leans into the raw vulnerability and commanding vocal presence that have quickly become her trademark.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been obsessed with JACOT\u00c9NE ever since first catching her at Laneway Festival back in 2023. She possesses one of those rare voices that genuinely sends shivers down your spine .At just 20 years old, JACOT\u00c9NE already sounds like an artist operating well beyond her years.<\/p>\n<p>We featured <strong>Johanna Samuels<\/strong> a few months ago with her single \u201cWhite Limousine\u201d and we couldn\u2019t resist sharing her new single \u201cCircles\u201d on the playlist. The single is from her freshly announced studio album <i>Sorry Kid<\/i> (out August 14th) and features some gorgeous harmonies from <b>Tyler Ballgame<\/b>. Thematically it explores the loops and patterns of human experience, whilst also playing with some of those themes musically too, opening with a cyclical wurlitzer motif. It\u2019s full of warmth, whimsy and charm. We can\u2019t wait for the album to come out in a couple of months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fool Nelson<\/strong> continue their upward trajectory with \u201cKEEPSAKE\u201d, a heartfelt indie-rock anthem that balances unpolished grit with genuine emotional warmth. Opening with Tom Broadbent\u2019s tender croon over rustic guitar chords, the track gradually builds through soaring pre-choruses before erupting into a cathartic guitar-led release. We caught the band in the UK last week at The Great Escape, where their ripping indie guitar sound and magnetic live energy quickly won over a legion of new fans. Another exciting rising force from Western Australia, they feel destined for much bigger stages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jamie Webster<\/strong> returns with \u201cJust Begun\u201d, an uplifting and reflective slice of indie-folk that finds the Liverpool singer-songwriter leaning into themes of identity, mental wellbeing and self-acceptance, all wrapped in the kind of anthemic songwriting that has made him one of the UK\u2019s most beloved modern voices.\u00a0The track arrives alongside news of Webster\u2019s forthcoming fourth album <em>Running Round The Sun<\/em>, due September 4. If you\u2019re a fan of Frank Turner, there\u2019s every chance you\u2019ll fall hard for Jamie Webster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cP Stands for Paddy\u201d is the first release from Ireland\u2019s <b>Absolute Lilt<\/b> on label Heavenly Records. The duo, made up of friends Lisa Canny and Niamh Hinchy, offer up a modern take on one of Ireland\u2019s oldest vocal traditions: lilting. The duo launched themselves online back in 2024 and have already amassed a large following across social media. The track itself is a delight, and a really fun time. The vocals are simply sublime, and the single wears its traditional elements quite lightly, but proudly nonetheless. Swirling, hypnotic, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised if a dance remix turns up before too long.<\/p>\n<p>Also added to the playlist this week are new tracks from UK four piece\u00a0<strong>daresay<\/strong> and Norway\u2019s\u00a0<strong>Velcro Dog<\/strong>. Fresh from an appearance at The Great Escape last week, daresay have announced the release of their debut EP accompanied by the quietly empowering \u201clittle things\u201d. \u00a0Meanwhile,\u00a0<strong>Velcro Dog<\/strong> releases his first new music since 2022\u2019s <em>Misanthropology<\/em> with new single \u201cThe Gonzo Futurist Manifesto\u201d, which is the first taste of his new album\u00a0<em>Fjord Noir<\/em>\u00a0(Out September 18th). Musically it\u2019s perhaps a touch more uplifting than his 2022 work, but don\u2019t let those major chords fool you. Finally, we\u2019ve also added \u201cFlowers in My Hair\u201d from <strong>Katy Denney,<\/strong> which we premiered earlier in the 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>Swapmeet<\/strong> \u201c2 C U\u201d<br \/><strong>PASH<\/strong> \u201cSolid Ground\u201d<br \/><strong>JACOT\u00c9NE<\/strong> \u201cTELL ME (I HEARD IT FROM MY FATHER)\u201d<br \/><strong>Johanna Samuels<\/strong> \u201cCircles (feat. <strong>Tyler Ballgame<\/strong>)\u201d<br \/><strong>daresay<\/strong> \u201clittle things\u201d<br \/><strong>Fool Nelson<\/strong> \u201cKeepsake\u201d<br \/><strong>Jamie Webster<\/strong> \u201cJust Begun\u201d<br \/><strong>Absolute Lilt<\/strong> \u201cP Stands for Paddy\u201d<br \/><strong>Velcro Dog<\/strong> \u201cThe Gonzo Futurist Manifesto\u201d<br \/><strong>Katy Denney<\/strong> \u201cFlowers in My Hair\u201d [<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theaureview.com\/music\/exclusive-single-premiere-katy-denney-flowers-in-my-hair-2026\/\">Exclusive Single Premiere<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><em>Header Image: Josh Sabini<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"crp_related     crp-text-only\">\n<h3>Related Posts:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theaureview.com\/music\/new-music-discoveries-1st-november-delivery-jacotene-davey-lane-and-more\/\" class=\"crp_link post-266640\"><span class=\"crp_title\">New Music Discoveries 1st November: Delivery, JACOT\u00c9NE, Davey Lane, and more<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theaureview.com\/music\/new-music-discoveries-2nd-aug-the-butlers-kitschen-boy-good-pash-and-more\/\" class=\"crp_link post-261193\"><span class=\"crp_title\">New Music Discoveries 2nd Aug: The Butlers, Kitschen Boy, Good Pash, and more<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theaureview.com\/music\/new-music-discoveries-22nd-september-hana-jessie-lees-bad-habits-bleachers-and-more\/\" class=\"crp_link post-237150\"><span class=\"crp_title\">New Music Discoveries 22nd September: Hana &amp; Jessie-Lee&#8217;s Bad Habits,\u2026<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theaureview.com\/music\/new-music-discoveries-22nd-march-king-stingray-indian-pacific-aurora-and-more\/\" class=\"crp_link post-246769\"><span class=\"crp_title\">New Music Discoveries 22nd March: King Stingray, Indian Pacific, AURORA and more<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theaureview.com\/music\/new-music-discoveries-22nd-november-the-delines-jet-city-sports-club-tiny-habits-and-more\/\" class=\"crp_link post-268220\"><span class=\"crp_title\">New Music Discoveries 22nd November: The Delines, Jet City Sports Club,\u2026<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theaureview.com\/music\/new-music-discoveries-22nd-august-harry-foxton-bar-italia-wishlist-and-more\/\" class=\"crp_link post-286989\"><span class=\"crp_title\">New Music Discoveries 22nd August: Harry Foxton, bar italia, Wishlist, and more<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>      &#13;<br \/>\n           &#13;\n    <\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.theaureview.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; The latest update to our Discovery Playlist is here; with ten new tracks added across Apple Music and Spotify, including one exclusive premiere from earlier in the week.
