Adelaide’s noir-folk doo-wop outfit Fair Maiden is finally releasing its anticipated new album Oleander this week. Documenting transformations and emotional turbulence, the record is a hypnotic musical document of love and all its pitfalls, perils and pains.

It’s been almost three years since Ausmuteants gifted the world with new music, but now the Melbourne-based rabble-rousers are back with a particularly idiosyncratic new record. Ausmuteants … Presents The World In Handcuffs is the brainchild of guitarist Shaun Connor, a collection of tracks that explores the mind of an unhinged police officer. 📷: Danielle Hakim 🖼: Per Bystrom

Brisbane’s Pleasure Symbols have returned after a period of evolution with news of a debut full-length record out mid-year through Avant! Records. Lead single ‘Image Reflected’ shows off a newly polished sound, used perfectly to convey explorations of the self and the power of desire.

Discordant Melbourne noise punks Synthetics are releasing their potent and acidic debut EP CRUX this month through Tender Collection.

Esther Edquist of Superstar fame has emerged back on the scene with news of a new EP under her Sweet Whirl guise. Ahead of the May release of the six-song effort Love Songs & Poetry through Chapter Music, Esther has gifted our ears the delicate and velvety single ‘Strange News’. The gorgeous folky track is saturated with a rosy-cheeked dreaminess, inspired by near-romances and missed chances.
