New forays into shoegaze dreamscapes, jazz splashes, R&B swag and multi-faceted beats
Monday’s usually bring multiple hits of coffee, dread for a week’s worth of toil and dreamy longing of the past weekend’s events.
Whether these things are considered good or bad, Monday also brings a new week to listen to new music from our shores and the next.
Here’s 10 new tracks to hit the HappyMag radar.
Seagull – ‘Come Lay Down in the Water’
This specific track from the Melbourne-based band’s newest album, Bow Down Megafauna, gives a drony spectacle while Bolton brings out a hopeful and heartfelt lens out over the water.
Pink Jagg – ‘Shotgun’
This newest single establishes its presence straightaway with a jazzy intro before Pink Jagg comes in with a laid back swaggy delivery. These two core elements make a standout track that fits into the specific gap left behind by the late Mac Miller.
Gabriella Biddle – ‘Mars’
Biddle’s talented ability to create emotional highs and lows with her voice is elegantly paired with a piano ballad intro before diving into a laidback Lo-fi indie pop landscape.
Department – ‘Dreams Of Youth’
This specific snapshot from Department’s debut album, Audacity Files, drops you into a tranquil pop vocal lead run before a collection of bass, clicks, drums reverb and dominate the space.
Blissed Punk – ‘Perfect Eternity’
The debut single from Blissed Punk leads us into a gentle and dreamy world that will envelope any ears that crosses its path. The chirping birds sprinkled about are a lovely touch as well.
CMeza – ‘Vértice’
The final single from the Colombian-born Australia’s debut EP dives into a funky neo soul chandelier infused with warming Latin energy straight from his motherland.
Birds on the Ground – ‘Good Boy’
This standout track from the dumpster pop group’s debut project, gives a chirpy and energetic blast of sunshine that makes the listener feel like a member of the band as more and more vocals join the frontman.
Petermanoz – ‘Late night train to Melbourne’
The latest from the Gypsy swing and jazz ensemble perfectly encapsulates the title of the track. The tranquil combination of electric guitar, gentle drums and subtle synths provide ultimate wanderlust and thought provocation.
DancingFaraZ – ‘Where We Belong’
This newest electronic dance number provides a great soundtrack to the other side of the world that is currently enjoying the Summer-boosted sun.
Wybercron – ‘afterwards’
This release shares a harmonious bridge between the ecosystems of dreampop and shoegaze, covering listeners in a hazy blanket of emotion, perfect for those days where the sun cuts through the icy winds of Winter.
