I made you a mix tape of super cool mostly local kids and their super cool mostly local tracks. This list is by no means definitive given how thick and heavy Melbourne is with talent but is a small sample of those I've had the pleasure to see, perform alongside and admire. Those in the list who are not Melbourne based left their mark here too and for that I am grateful. Thanks for being rad Melbourne. Regards - Laura Davis      @}-,--'---

Thank you also to the venues that continue to put all these amazing people and myself on stage. Tote Hotel, John Curtain, Howler, Grace Darling, Old Bar, Bar Open, Public Project, Loop Bar, Long Play, Yarra Hotel, Post Office Hotel, Tramway Hotel, Also Gallery, Liberty Social (may it rest in peace)and many more, without them I would never have come in contact with any of these wonderful human beings and certainly my life would not be as full as it is today.

Let me know if I've missed anyone super obvious or for any reason you'd like me to remove your track from this list. x

Farao - "Truthsayer"

‘Runaway’ is the brand new track from the Melbourne based 3-piece Cool Explosions. The single is the first taste of the forthcoming debut mini-album, mixed by avant-alchemist Nick Herrera (Haitus Kaiyote / Nai Palm).

The single is the most recent offering from the emerging songwriting partnership Vehl/Young - the band's lead vocalist Elle Young and keyboardist Matty Vehl.

Restless and unrelenting, ‘Runaway’ is both an impulsive cry for escape, & an uneasy acquiescence that such a solution is ultimately no solution at all. Elle Young’s effortlessly soulful vocal keens across a tumbling scroll of marbled FM samples and strings, amidst a volatile barrage of dam-breach drumming by rising drum star Alex Roper.

Things Fall Apart - demo

Tender Collection are excited to release the debut single from Soft Touch, the latest side project from Grace Stevenson. Grace is known for her music as Rebel Yell, and previously in 100%. In Soft Touch, Grace takes a lo-fi, dark pop approach and will be releasing a cassette in January.

The first single Fright is out now. Keeping it’s distance from the industrial techno sounds of Rebel Yell, Fright has a mesmerising pulse and a luscious but caustic lead throughout. Lyrically the song speaks of bodily autonomy, with a cool, wry delivery. Reminiscent of artists like Pillow Pro and Princi, Soft Touch has been described as gothic RnB, perhaps even a slow groove to grind to.

Soft Touch - Fright

Hey what’s up? 
i just had to call
it’s no big deal
just want to talk 
so what’s new?
heard that you moved on
and found someone who makes you talk
can’t believe 
it has been a year
been kinda dark 
just want to talk

x3 Hey what’s up? 
i just had to call
it’s no big deal
just want to talk 
so what’s new?
heard that you moved on
and found someone who makes you talk

Lyrics:
One night 
Is taking up my whole life lately
Oh the words you spoke 
I’m looking for some antidote

That’s right,
Found each other but the timing wasn’t right 
So you said baby
How’d you let me go
For something that I can’t control?

I’ve been waiting frozen in time
Waiting while the cosmos erode
Did you know that I’ve been waiting all this 
Time spent frozen in the sidelines
Waiting while the cosmos erode
Did you know that I’ve been waiting cause you’re mine?

Mine
Mine
Mine
Mine
Mine
Mine
Did you know that I’ve been waiting cause you’re mine?

Don’t cry
I tell myself that you’re loving ain’t right
Maybe you hate me
How’d you make me so?
You’ve got me on some mind control

I’ve been waiting frozen in time
Waiting while the cosmos erode
Did you know that I’ve been waiting all this 
Time spent frozen in the sidelines
Waiting while the cosmos erode
Did you know that I’ve been waiting cause you’re mine?

Mine
Mine
Mine
Mine
Mine
Mine
Did you know that I’ve been waiting cause you’re mine?

Mine

Overland (In My Mind)

Video artist, musician and cynical Melbourne trans babe pulls shapes, bends circuits, plays new-wave heavy synthpop over Hi-NRG claps and takes her audience by force. It's Laura Davis's InfraGhosts
