- A noticeable trend in these stream-heavy times is the tendency for artists to release a multitude of singles in advance of an album release. Tame Impala had four singles out prior to last week’s release of The Slow Rush, while Grimes has already released five singles from her brand new record Miss Anthropocene.

- I first discovered Wilsen in 2017 via a seemingly random YouTube auto-play algorithm. Their first full length album I Go Missing In My Sleep came out the same year. As a hazy series of quaint, yet fully realised vignettes, the Brooklyn trio were a welcome surprise.

Would that relieve them of the unasked for intellectual burden placed upon them??

- Can you play a Rhodes and not sound jazzy? Perhaps that’s why a virulent strain of jazz has been steadily infecting the steadily evolving music -from Laneous to Jordan Rakei and a whole lot more- of (rhodes adoring) Australian neo-soul.

- Kerbside Collection, an instrumental jazz funk group from Brisbane have released their second album's worth of remixes. On Smoke Signals - Remixed a host of producers remodel Kerbside’s original material, a number of international, Australian and Brisbane musicians being featured.
