Free Time – ‘I Lost Again’

Melbourne muso Dion Nania (formerly of Panel Of Judges) has a new band called Free Time, plus a new home in New York City. Free Time’s debut self-titled album will be available via Underwater Peoples from May 28 and opens with ‘I Lost Again’. Its a lazy listen, with a simplicity and charm not unlike The Go-Betweens.

Alice Boman – ‘Waiting’

Amazing voice. The kind that stops you in your tracks (cliché as it is to say). Alice Boman is a Swedish singer, who releases her first EP ‘Skisser’ on May 22 through Adrian Recordings. The PR puts it well, “A Billie Holliday for the 2010s century, without the jazz.”

Savage Sister – ‘Tiger Lamp’

Missouri’s Savage Sister are readying their self-titled debut album – out next month! The duo (Michael Tenzer and Chloe Lundgren) have posted the first official single called ‘Tiger Lamp‘. This chilled dream popper melds synths and vocals into a warm wash of reverb.

Greta Mob – ‘The Petite Bourgeois Blues’

Take the attitude of the Bad Seeds, the swagger of The Veils, throw in some politics and we’re still only half way to describing Greta Mob! Put simply, its raw, honest, classic rock n’ roll with a purpose. The recently formed Aussie four piece have delivered a new single called ‘The Petite Bourgeois Blues’ – grab it here.  Sydney locals can catch them live about town – see dates.

Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk – ‘Saturday’

There’s alot of awesome things about Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk. Firstly, their name is awesome. Their new single ‘Saturday‘ is awesome. And the person rockin’ a pink horse onesie on the cover is very awesome! The New York-based (Kansas-born) trio have been purveyors of experimental sounds for close to a decade now, most recently with the ‘Soda’ EP last May. But… Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk will return with a six track collection called ‘Think Tone’ on July 9 through Fire Talk (pre-orders here).

Nightmare Air – ‘Escape’

Chances are you’re already all over Nightmare Air but just in case you missed it… the L.A.-based trio released their debut record ‘High In The Lasers’ earlier in the year featuring the noise popper ‘Escape’. If wall of sound guitars with a pop twist are your thing then you’ll fall quickly for Nightmare Air. Check out their East Coast tour with Tennis System and Dead Leaf Echo – dates here.

Great Earthquake – ‘Do.Make’

Nawww… ‘Do.Make’ is awfully cute. A nice change from the general lack of light posted on SBWR! It comes from Great Earthquake, the solo project of Melbourne-based artist Noah Symons. His latest album ‘Mind Maps’ was released last month through Lost & Lonesome. Plus… Promised Miracles, an artist collective of top Aussie talent – has released their first mixtape called ‘Basements’ and you can also pick this track up on that!
