We also know the new material makes for a killer live show – just gorge below on the in-studio version of ‘Elvis’ Flaming Star’ Pond played on Seattle radio station KEXP last month. The fiery tribute to The King, along with ‘Sitting Up On Our Crane‘ – an “anxiety power ballad” according to the band – prove we can expect great things from the spiritual sequel to 2013’s album “Hobo Rocket”. live in the KEXP studio.

Fait is Perth musician Elise Higgins.

Her debut EP Atmosphere was produced by Darren Lawson (MBV, White Lies) and consists of layers of reverb drenched guitars, strings, piano, atmospherics and noise.

This young musical maestro goes by the name of Nick Sowersby. Having only just released his debut record, the blissed-out, euphoric dream-pop meets neo-psychedelica Wonderer, Sunbeam Sound Machine has left a late but most definite mark on the year.

We hate to make obvious comparisons, but we’ve not witnessed a talent like this since a young Perth lad by the name of Kevin Parker stormed into the music scene some years ago, and the DIY aesthetic that runs in Parkers veins is ramped in Sowersby too.

Gazing into 2015, we are certain the one-man-musical-machine will be one of the most sought out Aussie artists on the touring circuit.

Introducing one our fair nation’s most promising up-and-coming shoegaze and dream-pop artists, Fait. This Perth native smashed into our peripherals earlier this year with her slow-burning, ultimate brooding track ‘Slow Glow’. Generating a shitload of buzz from critics across the country, Fait’s 2014 has been a year of foundation building, and 2015 will be the year that this talented songstress will drown the masses with her beautiful sonic soundscapes.
