King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard are without a doubt one of the most creative bands oft he past decade. Sometimes a bit hit and miss; they are possibly the most underrated band ever. Straws in the Wind is an obscure song that sticks into your head like glue (is that a saying or did I just make this up on the spot?). Anyway…check this out:
Song of the Week – Maximo Park – Song of the Flatlands – Episode 118

Song of the Week – Hot Chip Feat. Jarvis Cocker – Straight To The Morning – Episode 117
Hot Chip and Jarvis Cocker? You have to be kidding. This is like Christmas and Easter had a kid and created a super-holiday. Well, I know this doesn’t even begin to describe how happy this should make us all. So, without further ado – This is Straight To The Morning by Hot Chip feat, Jarvis Cocker.
Song of the Week – Luluc – Emerald City – Episode 116
Luluc are Zoë Randell and Steve Hassett and have this Australian Down under spirit that is mixed with some Brooklyn-Magic. Emerald City is a taster of what this duo is capaple of. Pure perfection.

Song of the Week – Porridge Radio – 7 Seconds – Episode 113
Porridge Radio has a Mercury Prize nomination under its belt. This is a brand new song called 7 Seconds not on the album – very different to what you would expect. Not as punky and edgy but very very good. Very very good. Did I mention it’s very very good?

This is the time where we need a bit of Father John Misty. And thanks to The Sub Pop Singles Club he’s doing just that. To R. is one of two new songs from The Father. Let’s all hug and cry and listen to R.
Song of the Week – California Screaming – Liz Lawrence – Episode 113

Song of the Week – Baby Queen – Medicine – Episode111
Yes, this is a dose of teen pop but mixed with great lyrics and a little bit of the magic only Billie Eilish can provide. This is Baby Queen. Baby Queen is South-Africa–born singer Bella Latham. She is writing music and singing since she is 10 years old. Now at 23 this might be her moment in time. Medicine is the follow up to Buzzkill and a bloody good song:
