Unearthed Goodness

This track had my music senses tingling and I immediately went searching for more of their stuff. Zen Haircuts will be releasing their Zen Haircuts EP in early 2017, so keep your eyes peeled and your ears clean. 

Owen Rabbit just finished touring his debut EP in Europe, and is touring Australia very soon. Check out the dates on his Facebook or at owenrabbit.com

This one still occupies a soft spot. Whenever it comes on the radio it only takes a second before you know you're in for four minutes of blissful CTBNF. That's why this makes #7 for me this year. 

Mallrat's 'Inside Voices' is firmly inside my top ten Unearthed tracks of 2016. The Brisbane artist has produced something undeniably relatable with this one. Who doesn't get that sinking feeling that everyone's politeness is just a mask for what they really think of you? Just me? Oh. Well I'll just sit by myself in silence.

From the fade in 'Thankful' is full of so many positive vibes. In a year many have seen as full of negativity we should remember that so much good has come from it too. That's the feeling Feki's 'Thankful' gives me and that's why it's made my top ten this year.

Stay tuned tomorrow when I introduce #9 on the list!

This is an emotional ride from start to finish. ISLA KA definitely has a way with words.

This is a perfect slow-down-time track. The production is ace too, because I’m tempted to say it’s low-fi yet for it’s crispness, that it’s washed out yet for how clear it is. Thanks to fellow SuperUser Dave McCarthy for pointing this one out. Instantly enjoyed it. 

Ruby's vocals dance off the piano in a way that can easily get stuck in your head. That's why I've come back to this track again and again over the last few days and am finally reviewing. The story she tells is sad but in a way that is more cathartic than depressing. Great work.

Now this is a collab project I can get behind. Reckless really drew me in on first listen. Brisbane-based Morgan Breikers is working with a multitude of other artists, the idea being that each song is created by a different team of people. And so far so good, I say.

Huntly - Heavy Sometimes The last minute and a half of this track gets me every time. Enough for me to make it this week’s Sunday Chill Track.

This is some smoooooooth stuff from ANH & quickly, quickly.

I reviewed Nineteen a while back and Azura's newest track is just as full of that dreamy reverb and vocals, which immerse the listener in an other-worldly vision.

There’s a lot of talent here. I can definitely see this young artist going places.

Heard this for the first time last night and instantly liked it. Now I’m super excited to hear more of their tracks.

Introvert - Everything is Different Now The energy and intensity coming from Introvert in their debut EP is phenomenal. Listen to them through Unearthed or on bandcamp here. 

I couldn’t describe this track better myself. What I will say is that Darling James’ latest release is a lot of fun to listen to (maybe it is something to do with that exotic instrumentation).
