I’ve been patiently waiting all year for Kelsey Bulkin to drop some new music. In 2017, the LA-based artist made her solo debut with ‘Andromeda’ and soon after released ‘West…
Kllo seem to constantly push the boundaries of pop, but in really subtle ways. Their new one, ‘Candid’ is another beautiful example of this. I feel like if you played…
Alright, so I think that Golden Vessel has hands down won 2018 in terms of dead set, no fucking around, fun music. ‘BIGBRIGHT’ was a party colab never before seen…
All hail the return of the Canadian king, KAYTRANADA. Since the wiz producer dropped his debut album 99.9% in 2016, KAYTRA has been quiet on the originals front, bar a…
Look, Bleeding Knees Club’s new video for ‘Burning Crosses’ is flat-out bizarre. I don’t really know what the fuck is going on. And honestly, I love it. It shouldn’t resonate with…
World Champion are back, and they are sounding damn sharp. ‘Gun’ is the first we’ve heard since 2015 or so from the three-piece psych-pop legends, and it’s like they never…
On first listen it was the guitar line that bobbled in and out of Clementine Creevy’s airy vocals. On second listen, it was the line ‘Who should I fuck daddi?…
Zzzzzz… Hey! Sorry, that’s just the sound of me sleeping on First Beige. The slinky sextet outta Brisbane have been serving up groovy disco-laced indie rock gear since 2016. That…
Disclaimer: I’ve been meaning to write about this since it dropped, apologies for the delay fans of the official I OH YOU Blog. Alright, so Huntly have been nailing their…
Man, if you think back to the early (glory) days of Australia’s indie scene, the names of semi-successful bands flood into my mind and take me to back to the…
There’s something oddly familiar about Grapetooth. When listening to ‘Blood’, the most recent single from the Chicago two-piece’s debut Self-Titled LP, you’re hit with hazy nostalgia. It might have to…
First off, I just want to say sorry. I’m sorry for a lot of things, and I mean, we’re all sorry in some way or another. I’m sorry that when…
Since Mall Grab dropped his striking 2017 Pool Party Music EP, I’ve been hunting down producers creating upbeat, sun-soaked house like a dog on heat. Through this search, Belgium producer…
In 2016, Theophilus London took to Twitter to tease a collaboration with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker. The teasing hasn’t stopped since, and only a couple of weeks ago, the pair performed…
Last week, Golden Plains dropped the line-up for their 13th edition. Among a stacked bill featuring electronic wiz Four Tet, sexy song-makers The Internet and Pills ‘n’ Thrills slingers Happy…
I was always pretty happy with Souls of Mischief’s track ’93 Till Infinity’ as a song that repped my year of birth. Thanks to Sydney outfit Johnny Hunter the younger…
Every so often, even the most self-involved, conceited, snobbish of music writers (me) needs a fun song to enter their life. You don’t need to constantly be searching for the…
Hmmm, naming your debut track ‘get low’ certainly makes me think I’m getting a 2018 version of the cult classic ‘Get Low’ by Lil’ Jon and the Eastside Boyz. I…
As one of Australia’s finest songwriters, we’ve become accustomed to Thomas Rawle dropping raw emotional pieces for years, but as DRELLER it’s safe to say he’s upped the ante in…
I may have already said this about seven different artists this year, but Westerman has to be the artist you watch this year. There is no one better (probably, see me in…
In what has to be the strangest colabs of the year so far, noise-rock legends HEALTH have teamed up with new lo-fi guitar legend Soccer Mommy for ‘MASS GRAVE’. To be…
NZ gets a hard time out there, but NOT HERE AT I OH YOU. I think we’ve covered NZ based artists like at least three times now. See we got you, NZ….
If you are familiar with my writing, you know I’m not against the occasional pop jam, especially when it’s laced with PC Music-esque production. So, this new one from Banoffee…
“Oh god, he’s gone and truly done it this time.” I’ve broken the one rule of writing about music. I’ve chosen to cover a track that is not a single. Yep, this…
I’m 100% the kind of person that refuses to get into artists when they have huge buzz around them (so prepare for me to not pay attention to anything that…
It was looking likely that everyone’s favourite pop angel, Empress Of, would be back with something this year, so it’s very rewarding to know that Lorely Rodriguez has announced her sophomore…
There’s so much to like in ‘Someone Loves You’, the second single from Melbourne newcomer, Comedown Party. And each time I sit down to listen to the track (yeah, I…
Have you ever wondered to yourself: “where have the 90s gone? I feel like it’s really not the 90s anymore.” Well, I’m here to give you some damn good news! Your…
I’ve been on the Portie Bus for a while now, and as it starts its decent towards its latest stop, Everything In Quotes “LIGHT”, I am raring to get off…
