<p><span><span><span>- Punko’s</span><strong> Liv Jansz </strong><span>arrives in mystical form on her debut, solo album. The enveloping reverb and hypnotic synths reflect the dappling moonlight, loop like the spirit returning to find itself again and climb backward through history, up the maternal lineage as she loses herself in hazy time. The journey is both subtle and cryptic, less music somehow and more a meditation.

<p><span><span>- Self-taught rapper, singer and producer Zheani built her audience and reputation with her raw, shattering voice and brash beats, going against the grain of popular Australian music’s typical sound. Never straying far from controversy, her fifth EP <em>I Hate People on the Internet</em> has a vicious and unrelenting track list. With disdain for the entertainment industry, the online world and consumerism, Zheani continues her reign as one of the scene’s most outspoken figures.</span></span></p>

<p><span><span>- Experimenting with her signature flamenco-trap style more ambitiously than ever before, <em>MOTOMAMI</em>, the new record from international sensation Rosalía, is the exact pop, electronic, songwriter album we’ve been waiting for since her breakthrough <em>EL MAL QUERER</em>.</span></span></p>

<p><span><span>- I could be swayed by the title of this record but the newest offering from Aldous Harding<strong> </strong>instils in me a want to don a flannel jacket, pack a bag, and go tend a garden bed tucked away in bucolic hills with it being the only piece of media I bring. Despite some sadness that <em>Old Peel</em>, a song I fell deeply in love with, doesn’t appear on this album, it got me through the gateway entirely. <em>Warm Chris </em>is Harding’s fourth album and the first to come via <strong>4AD.

<p><span><span>- Today, Brisbane three-piece Bugs share their new album, <em>Cooties</em>. The album<em> </em>is a raucous celebration of rock glory. Written, recorded, and produced by the band, it’s an examination of life in your twenties: the white-knuckle highs, the debilitating lows and the buzzing minutiae of the in-between. </span></span></p>
