Following on from his debut EP Hether Who?, Hether (a.k.a Paul Castelluzzo) has returned with the first glimpse of his upcoming project. A soothing, bluesy serenade that feels like it could have been lifted straight from decades past, Twinkle’s modern giveaway comes from the intricate sparkles and spacey sonic purrs that covertly lace the track.
TRACK: Boy Bye – Lauran Hibberd
Trying to shout out a ‘see ya later’ with a big middle finger, rising UK slacker-pop artist Lauran Hibberd’s latest track Boy Bye is pure glory in resurrected angsty ’90s girl power. Sugar-laced and tongue-in-cheek, this track will tattoo itself on your eardrums and tick away with you for days on end.
TRACK: SIA – Stevan
Wollongong-based producer Stevan has released his latest in laid-back, late-night jams ahead of his second mixtape of the year (Ontogeny, out Nov 20). SIA is full of R&B luxe and ambience. It’s melodically seductive and vocally enticing, while lyrically, it pushes someone away.
