Futuremag runs you through its favourite new releases of the week.

Yours Truly - Sour

This Sydney trio has transitioned into a dazzling new era ahead of their new album, TOXIC, due for release in August. "Sour was written during a session after I was feeling extremely burnt out," shares vocalist Mikaila Delgado. "We had come off extensive touring and quite a turbulent time not only for the band but personally as well. I was just feeling so bitter towards everything and trying to force writing when it just wasn’t naturally flowing made me so angry. We got to a stage as a band where we had a lot of people in our ear telling us what to do and how they thought we should do it. I just thought “fuck this, this is our fucking band, I’m going to do what I want!"

Flight Facilities feat. Enumclaw- Days of the Week

Written in Los Angeles, Days of the Week follows the wrap of Flight Facilities’ Trouble Tour, which concluded with dual weekend performances at Coachella’s coveted Yuma Tent. The duo, steeped in Southern California spirit, indulges in a playful commentary on stereotypical LA, with nods to the city’s guilty pleasures like overpriced Erewhon smoothies, plastic surgery, and influencer culture. 

Tierney Brothers - Lemonade

An upbeat, summery bop, Lemonade is our first taste of the duo’s debut album which is scheduled for release later this year. Tierney Brothers’ debut single opens with an immediate catchy whistling refrain and carefree guitar strumming. Then instrumentation enters gradually until the song’s effervescent chorus explodes with woozy, loved-up melodies. We’ve always known them as brothers as part of Human Nature, but this full-circle moment underlines not only their brotherly bond, but their ability to write and record together.

Polish Club - Manila

This track signifies a new era for the Sydney-based two-piece rock band after leaving their major record and moving into self-management as an independent band. Co-written by Robby De Sa (MAY-A, Vera Blue, Gretta Ray, Grent Perez), the track is a touch more dreamy and wistful than we’ve become accustomed to hearing from the usually brash rock and roll duo, yet it retains their signature relentless energy and emotive vocals.

Narakel - Jaeger Freestyle

The Sydney-based 19-year-old RnB artist has released his final single before his EP release era. The atmospheric track and vocal production blend together to encapsulate the emotions of the fast-paced, drug-fuelled environment present in the underground “low life” culture of Sydney.

Charlie Pittman - house in the suburbs

Following his earlier release this year, i don’t wanna be here, this Sydney-based alt-pop singer has given us another taste of his forthcoming EP.

Great Gable - Think Again, Motherf*cker

West Australian indie-rock favourites, Great Gable, share another anthemic slice of summer-soaked rock. Produced by Perth’s Dave Parkin (Spacey Jane, Jebediah), it continues the impressive growth as they build a discography full of festival-ready hooks ready to soundtrack a year-long summer. 

Abbey Lane - State of Mind

Brimming with irresistible energy, Abbey Lane delivers a powerful dose of indie pop and rock with her new single ahead of her debut EP, Afterthoughts, due for release on June 12.

Harper Bloom - All The Kids

After a two-year creative pause, queer indie-pop artist Harper Bloom makes a powerful comeback with the release of All The Kids, a poignant exploration of self-discovery and musical evolution. Recorded in London with acclaimed producer Charlie Westropp (Maisie Peters, Gabrielle Aplin), the single marks a significant transformation in Harper Bloom’s artistry and personal journey.

Vetta Borne - Want U Here

Vetta Borne reflects, “At my big age, I’m very focused on reaching my goals. I’m very independent, even when in relationships. I’m attracted to people who are the same. But of course, when you’re both busy focusing on your dreams, it can be hard to make time for each other.” Vetta new EP, Afterlife, is due for release on June 14.

GRAACE - Love Is Getting Wasted

“Love Is Getting Wasted is like diving into a whirlpool of emotions. It's about feeling torn between sticking it out or calling it quits in a relationship” explains GRAACE. “You're grappling with hope and resignation, trying to hold onto the last shreds of love, desperate for the attention they gave you in the beginning, but uncertainty looms about your future."

Kaiyah Mercedes - Trying To Hate You - Album

Trying To Hate You shares nine heartfelt tracks that showcase Kaiyah Mercedes' visual lyricism and vulnerable songwriting. With each song, Kaiyah offers a unique perspective on unrequited love, intertwining field recordings with emotive delivery, casting a soul-stirring spell.

Lizzie Hosking - Bubble

Bubble is a cute little story about breaking down walls in relationships, exploring new ideas with your partner and feeling safe and unjudged by them. Bubble is a new and upbeat sound for Lizzie with influence from RnB and soul music with her signature pop charm.

Hiatus Kaiyote - Telescope

On Telescope, the band transports listeners to an intimate crux in the universe to find solace in their shared musicality. Speaking on the track’s significance, Bender (bass) shares, “NASA has a website where you can type in your birthday and then it will tell you the most interesting thing that the Hubble telescope took a picture of on your birthday. Each of the four verses is based on our four birthdays.”

Tanaya Harper - Night Terrors

Boorloo indie ethereal angel, Tanaya Harper, weaves her silken melodies drenched with strings sharing her messages of self discovery in her latest single. Collaborating with composer and orchestral arranger Jared Yapp, Tanaya has created a story with a world of strings to delve into deep disconnection and “the sheer power of how the ego can trick us into thinking we’re in control when in reality, we are just scared and drifting further away from ourselves.”

Forest Claudette - Jupiter - EP

The otherworldly 4-song set documents Forest’s thoughts on love, identity, empowerment, artistic expression, and so much more.
