Bob Evans – Familiar Stranger
Never before has an album title so perfectly embodied it’s particular collection of songs. Kevin Mitchell (a.k.a Bob Evans) pops up here and there all over the musical radar; He’s the frontman of Jebediah,…
Interview – The Pretty Littles
Melbourne-based The Pretty Littles have released their second EP, I Am Not From A Small Town. Jack Parsons from the band spoke to Tomatrax about the release. Where did the name The Pretty…
John Murry – The Graceless Age
I’ll admit that listening to John Murry‘s “The Ballad of the Pajama Kid” on a recommendation was the first time I’d ever heard of him, but more than anything I wish I had…
Sarah Blasko – I Awake & The Sydney International Orchestra
Back in late 2012, Australian singer-songwriter Sarah Blasko released her fourth studio album I Awake to critical acclaim. Blasko’s latest is not afraid to be on the front lines, she has thrown herself…
Jinja Safari – Self Titled
Is it May 17th yet? How about now? Please let it be May 17th soon, the wait is torturous. What is so special about May 17th you ask? It’s only the release of…
California Wives – Art History
Definitely jumping on the California Wives bandwagon here, their debut album Art History has proved to be an album well worth purchasing. The songs are smooth and get better each time the album…
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Mosquito
There has been a general consensus that Mosquito has fallen short of the typical standard you’d expect from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but not all hope is lost! With phrases floating around like…
Interview – Future Love Hangover
Future Love Hangover is the brainchild of Jack Prest. His debut album has been put out in an unconventional way. In order to unlock the download, the viewer/listener must complete the exposure –…
James Blake – Overgrown
James Blake has been keeping us on tenterhooks for the longest time, Overgrown won’t even be officially released until the 8th. That doesn’t mean, however, that we haven’t been able to bask in…

Christoper Owens – Lysandre
Earlier this year, Christopher Owens announced his departure from the indie rock duo ‘Girls’ leaving behind him bassist/producer JR White as well as a string of well-loved songs and saddened fans; but just…
Friends – I’m His Girl
What’s not to like about this track from Friends? Feet, cow bells and more.
Chromatics – Kill for Love
Portland band Chromatics are a blazing mix of synth, squelch and vintage pop. And yet… so fresh. Nice.
Princess Chelsea – Cigarette Duet
Best Coast meets The Magnetic Fields? Maybe that’s a little unfair but we just came across this so it’s not new but it’s a goodie.
M. Ward – The First Time I Ran Away
M Ward rocks our world. As both a songwriter and producer his work is other-wordly and continues to get better! Don’t ask us how we just know what we hear and it’s good.
Chairlift – Amanaemonesia
Spirit fingers and a gold body suit that doesn’t quite fit? Well it works and we’re in love with Chairlift’s latest offering. We’re also very glad to see them revisit an aesthetic that’s…
Magnetic Fields – Andrew in Drag
The Magnetic Fields revisiting synths makes us very happy indeed. Stephin putting his rhyming dictionary to good use makes us even happier! Love at the Bottom of the Sea is out now through…
The Shins – Simple Song
Simple Song? Sure. Not so simple video though. Of course we love it. Here’s what Pitchfork had to say It’s been nearly five years since the Shins released their last album, 2007′s underrated…
Lambchop – Gone Tomorrow
This is one of the best songs we’ve heard this year. The video is equally up for the task..
Beirut – Santa Fe
Bon Jovi had a track called Santa Fe from the Young Guns II sound track. Wild movie and an even wilder song. This new Santa Fe from our friends Beirut is pretty awesome….
Tune Yards – Space is Everything
We love tUnE – YarDs for many reasons. It’s a pain to write their name is one, they understand things like space + letter casing and it’s impact and effect on the HumAn…
