Melbourne-via-Adelaide three piece Tough Uncle throw their hats into the ring with 2015's 

Focus - a deconstruction of sounds from past and current projects (Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire!, 

Danvers, Foreign/National), the group now presents a measured return to rock & roll. 

Focus is the next collaborative effort from the band and Gareth Parton (F!SR,F!, The Go! Team,

Foals), the partnership yielding a self contained three-and-a-half-minute “protobanger” 

drenched with restless melodic urgency. The band expound on the creeping songwriting 

influence of AM radio, coupled with hi-fi guitar and a signature rhythmic current.

Fresh off an Adelaide return show and support slot with Melbourne stalwarts Sunbeam 

Sound Machine & Foreign/National, Tough Uncle look to deliver the fruits of an industry 

homecoming. 

Big things poppin', little things stoppin'.

Maria Usbeck's solo debut, Amparo, is a collection of songs written and recorded across the span of three years in Ecuador, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Barcelona, Lisbon, Easter Island, Costa Rica, Florida, L.A. and her home in Brooklyn. Though the songs were composed electronically, Amparo called for an acoustic treatment, so Usbeck spent a winter in the studio recording the arrangements live with producer Caroline Polachek and mixer & engineer Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. Fleshed out in full sonic color on the marimba, xylophone, quena flute, piano, and harp, the album stretched into something hi-fi and expressive, meditative but not meandering.

Amparo stems from Usbeck's desire to compose in Spanish, her native language. Growing up in Quito, Usbeck was immersed in salsa, merengue, bachata, and Andean music, but was more attracted to German and American culture than to her own, and moved to America by herself at 17. After five years of fronting new wave outfit Selebrities and writing songs in English, Usbeck experienced a delayed-onset homesickness and knew it was time to "let the mother tongue speak." The impulse manifested itself directly: Amparo takes its title from Usbeck's middle name and her mother's name, and translates roughly as "to guide, protect, and embrace." Usbeck wields her Spanish lyrics cleverly while folding in snippets of several other far-flung tongues: Rapa Nui from Easter Island, Quichua from Ecuador, Bribri from Costa Rica, and Catalan. Because these lyrics were composed while visiting the countries from which they originate, their usage is more impressionistic than literal, like a mockingbird imitating fragments of other bird calls. Similarly, Usbeck reinterprets the Ecuadorian music that she grew up with as a newcomer, returning home with fresh ears, and as such the sounds are very much her own.

The backbone of Amparo is percussion, vibrating throughout with timbales, tumbas, a talking drum, bongos, shakers, and an Indian flat drum, with the gaps filled in by her field recordings of birds, beaches, and jungles. The songs were written and recorded chronologically, with the exception of the closing track, a cover of Colourbox’s “Tarantula” reimagined in Usbeck’s Spanish translation. Amparo is a reflection of the textures of Usbeck's childhood. It is also a distinctly grown-up pop record – a travel diary, music made by a visiting outsider to tap into a shared core of human expression. Emotively, Usbeck is her most powerful on piano ballads "Uno De Tus Ojos" and "Jungla Inquieta," but is a magnetic narrator throughout, moving between whispers, chants, and lullabies. Amparo pulses with many stories in many voices, but they flow together seamlessly like water, leaving behind a wordless hum.

Amparo is released May 27 via Cascine in North America, Labrador in Euope and Rallye in Japan.

Based out of Chicago, singer-songwriter Siul Reynoso’s solo project, Gabacho, employs a nostalgic blend of psychedelia and lofi. As a child, Siul moved back and forth from Chicago and Mexico enabling him to mix two different cultures but at the same time making him belong to neither one of them fully. Thanks to this, his friends named him Gabacho which means foreigner in spanish.

'I Would Like That' talks about how a romantic couple can spice things up and start over after stale times, including traveling and even role-playing. The dreamy synthesizers and big drums are meant to transport the listener into nostalgia and relive memories that haven’t necessarily happened to them.
