From Byron Bay to Nashville, The Buckleys are breathing new life into the Australian country music scene. Taking the best of a genre-diverse upbringing, the sibling trio have cultivated their own self-coined brand of ‘Hippie Country’. Their debut album Daydream is a bright collection of country tracks that draws upon elements of roots, pop, indie and Americana. With a refreshing and upbeat outlook, The Buckleys are playing with nostalgia, romance, and irresistible grooves to carve a niche that has even the most unsuspecting of country naysayers and newbies catching on. We had a chat with Sarah (20), Lachlan (19) and Molly (17) about their album, the country music scene, and recording in Nashville under the guidance of Grammy Award-winning producer, Chad Carlson.
TRACK: Man – Quartz Pistol
Quartz Pistol are Melbourne’s latest answer to luscious late night luxury mixed with assertively bold lyricsm in an alt-pop/R&B blend. Their debut track Man is more than just a single, it’s a statement. It harbours bold messaging and melodic temptation in nearly 5 minutes of complete intoxication.
TRACK: Close – Woodes
Continuing to captivate us with her unique ability to combine fantasy, drama, and intricate musical flair, Woodes latest track is yet another display of her incredible versatility. From melodically masking pain to lyrically emphasising finality, Close creates an exquisitely haunting journey through grief and loss.
