Whilst everyone else is turning their attention to North America for the World Cup, we\u2019re keeping things focused firmly on the best new music being released. As ever, we\u2019re bringing you ten of the week\u2019s best new releases via our Discovery Playlist on Apple Music and Spotify. Proud Kamilaroi\/Samoan artist Becca Hatch<\/b> takes out of Track of the Week with her excellent new single, \u201cDaylight Robbery\u201d.<\/p>\n
A fusion of R&B, electronic textures, and a bold pop production \u201cDaylight Robbery\u201d makes sure that the momentum around Hatch isn\u2019t slowing down any and ensures she\u2019s included in plenty of conversations around the most compelling new voices coming through in the country.<\/p>\n
The single explores the contradiction of being unable to let go of someone who still holds power over you. It\u2019s a song about desire, memory and the dangerous pull of chemistry and charisma. Dramatic and dynamic, \u201cDaylight Robbery\u201d pulls of the perfect balancing act between emotional storytelling, artistry and a strong pop sensibility.<\/p>\n
Also on the playlist this week we have \u201cKitty Cat\u201d, the new single from Naarm\/Melbourne-via-Yorta Yorta Country multi-hyphenate provocateur Robert Baker<\/strong>. Drawing upon the history, community and culture of ballroom \u201cKitty Cat\u201d is an injection of sparkle, sass and star power. Talking about the single, Baxter shared \u2018KITTY CAT is about the wild side, at this point in my life, I don\u2019t need a person to be sensible and pay for things and tame me, I want someone who isn\u2019t afraid to feel big things, and make my body PURR\u2019.<\/em> \u201cKitty Cat\u201d is \u00a0bold, brash, a little bit feral, built to be played live and loud, and just pure pop quality.<\/p>\n Pain Gain<\/strong> are the Australian trio of Chloe Kaul (Kllo), Hamish Lefevre (SWIM) and Samuel Cooke (CRUSH3d), stepping away from their electronic roots for something more raw, intimate and expansive. New single \u201cPrizefighter\u201d is beautifully vulnerable and haunting, a slow-burning cut built from reversed tape loops that swells into a devastating portrait of holding on long after you should have let go.<\/p>\n Fanny Lumsden<\/strong> reminds us what a truly gifted songwriter she is with \u201cDifficult Woman\u201d, an ever-so-beautiful new single recorded live in one take with just Fanny and her acoustic guitar, its rawness only making it hit harder as she reframes the label as something powerful: \u201cDifficult woman, you\u2019re the point not the prize.\u201d<\/p>\n Always brilliant live, Fanny is also heading out on her aptly named ONLY FANS: Story Club<\/em> tour from early July, taking the intimate solo show everywhere from Coledale Community Hall in NSW to Flowerdale Hall in VIC, with more dates still to come. Head HERE<\/a> for all the dates and tickets.<\/p>\n Sylvan Esso<\/b> are back this week with new music \u2013 their first for 2026 \u2013 and it promises to be like you\u2019ve never heard them before. \u201cHot Slob\u201d is described as \u2018proudly messy\u2019, and it\u2019s an unabashed invitation to a loud, heated, hair down party. It\u2019s all about embracing the spirit and chaos of living in the modern world, the glitch. Whilst they might be sounding messier and more pointed than ever before, there is still a sense of familiarity there, that lyrical and musical push and pull we\u2019ve come to expect from them. \u201cHot Slob\u201d is promising to usher in a new chapter of creativity and artistic freedom \u2013 it\u2019s off to an impressive start.<\/p>\n Also returning is Kate Miller-Heidke, <\/strong>with \u201cHoliday\u201d, an irresistibly fun and gloriously chaotic slice of observational pop that nails the curse of needing a break so badly you somehow end up ruining it. The video<\/a> leans fully into that playful energy \u2014 a reminder of just how magnetic she is as a performer \u2014 and how stressful holidays can be. It will leave you with a smile on your face, and perhaps bring back a few unwanted memories!<\/p>\n The single arrives alongside the announcement of her new album The Kiss and The Abyss<\/em><\/a>, due August 14, with Miller-Heidke also set to take the record on the road for a run of intimate Australian album launch shows<\/a> across August and September.<\/p>\n Holly Throsby<\/strong> returns with \u201cHold Please\u201d, a beautifully intimate new single featuring Laura Jean<\/strong>, and the first taste of her seventh studio album Normal Magic<\/em>, out September 4. All the hallmarks of Throsby\u2019s writing are here \u2014 the emotional precision, the quiet ache, the lyrical detail \u2014 now wrapped in more expansive, synth-led textures that Laura Jean perfectly described as a \u201chuge sapphic chamber\u201d of sound.<\/p>\n \u201cNo hay amor que nos salve\u201d is the new single from the excellently named Argentines Buenos Vampiros<\/b>, the first to be taken from their forthcoming fourth studio album El \u00faltimo disparo<\/i>. For those not in the know, the band formed in 2018 and have swiftly become one of the most compelling acts within the contemporary alternative scene in Argentina, with this new single coming off the back of some sustained international touring. By all accounts, \u201cNo hay amor que nos salve\u201d sees the band moving into slightly darker territory; but it\u2019s this wonderful blend of post-punk, new wave and dream pop. You\u2019ve got sharp edged guitars, over moody melancholic atmospherics and a tightly coiled emotional centre. It\u2019s a really captivating listen.<\/p>\n Joining them on the playlist are\u00a0The Healing Power of Horses<\/strong>, an enigmatic East Anglian duo whose music defies easy categorisation. \u201cIn Yr Right Hand Reveal Heaven\u201d is the second single from their freshly announced debut EP\u00a0Summer Indoors (or outside wearing black)\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 out July 17th. It\u2019s really compelling \u2013 glitchy, lurching, kind of industrial, kind of haunting, ritualistic; but delivered with a real polish and assured sense of style. Loved it.<\/p>\n Finally, we have the video premiere of \u201cCry Wolf\u201d from Fountain Lakes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Catch all the new music updated every Friday on Apple Music:<\/p>\n
