New Music 01/2022 – Billie Eilish, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Peaches
Category: Music
Excellent sophomore album about the dangers and costs of fame; beautiful meditation on grief and loss; the Queen of Electro Smut.
New Music 11/2021 – Waxahatchee, Courtney Barnett
I caught up with one of the most critically acclaimed albums from 2020, plus something old and something new (and something blue) by one of my Aussie favourites.
New Music 10/2021 – Laura Mvula, St. Vincent
I found that while I still had enthusiasm for reading new books and watching new films and TV series in lockdown, when it came to music my overwhelming mood was to shut down, listen to the music I already loved, and not make much effort to get into something new. I did however make an exception for a couple of my favourite ladies, both making interesting pivots from their previous work.
New Music 07/2021 – Fanny Lumsden, Carpenters, Mozart
It’s been a while since I got some new music, but now I’ve discovered a sublime album from an Australian country singer-songwriter; one of the greatest female pop vocalists of all time; and a Greatest Hits collection from some Austrian guy.
Pink Floyd: The Wall – Film Review
With Lockdown No. 4 restrictions easing, I went to the Astor Theatre to revisit the movie that scarred my childhood.
New Music 04/2021 – Lana Del Rey, Dead Can Dance, Triple J’s Hottest 100 Volume 28
Lana Del Rey finally makes a great album; a catch up with the latest from my favourite otherworldly duo; a musical snapshot of the year 2020 according to Triple J.
Vera Blue and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra @ Hamer Hall
After officially breaking the live music drought with the Candlelight concert, I thought I’d take a chance on this collaboration between the Australian songstress and the MSO.
New Music 01/2021 – Fiona Apple, Laura Marling, Róisín Murphy
