- In equal measures of dreamy vocal layers and biting guitar runs, sophomore EP Do You Know Enough from Canberra’s Moaning Lisa shines a light on the unease, disharmony, the freedom and ecstasy of growing up queer and female.

- Premeditations is the sophomore album by Novocastrian, Lachlan X. Morris. Self-professed purveyor of ‘dad-rock’, Morris’ style is vexing to characterise. While his sterling debut, Ouija Board Heartbreak Tambourine, had a classic rock vibe, like something you’d belatedly find in your dad’s record collection, Premeditations is more akin to something your ‘shroom-ingesting uncle might turn you onto. Despite making it difficult to pin an accurate genre on Morris, the dichotomy is impressive.

- Suspiria, Dario Argento’s cult Italian-American horror film is celebrating its fortieth anniversary in 2018. Rather than staring at its naked body in the mirror on its fortieth birthday, wondering “what happened to me?”, the film has been remade by Luca Guadagnino. Thom Yorke, of Radiohead fame, and who coincidentally is dating an Italian actress, is enlisted for soundtrack duties; but is it a re-imagination or merely remake of the original soundtrack?

- Rebirths in the musical world come along with the regularity of Doctor Who’s reincarnations, and like the Time Lord’s 13 lives (or 14, depending how you count ‘em), some are more successful than others, some more enjoyable, some more ground-breaking and advancing a well-known theme; a bit like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Twelve Variations on ‘Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman’.

- Across the four studio albums she has put out to date, Julia Holter has undergone an intriguing transition from her ambient-focused debut album, Tragedy, to the more accessible art pop of her last record, Have You in My Wilderness. The key trend that has remained throughout is that she has never been one to shrink from ambition; rather she's consistently unafraid to experiment and do away with predictable structures.
