‘Panicle’ is the new EP from Nika Mo.
Patiently and lovingly crafted indie-alt-folk out of Boorloo. Nika Mo is always partial to interesting textures and keen to attend to the sonic aspect of music. There’s nice DIY sheen to this record, it finds a sonically organic place which feels quite friendly, accessible, and real.
Panicle is the RTRFM Local Feature for the week of April 14th, 2024.
Recorded by Jeremy Segal
Produced and mixed by Annika Moses

L0k, DEHNOE and Kayak Jones followup their full length record 6000-TB almost immediately with 7000-TB, a three-tracker on Lunch Records.
Energy is up, low end is cranked. As always I love the embrace of crunchy texture in the beats and production.

An ode to Dads and ACDC, painting a picture of Australian backyards and road trips. Odlaw does fun songs really well, upbeat, humorous, this is a big tune!

Gap Year’s latest single ‘In Light’ gives us another taste of their second album, due later this year.
On a record full of incredible writing and playing, this tune is the highlight for me. There’s something deeply uplifting and/or emotive going on. Some perfect combination of contrary motion in the instrumentation and vocal blend. It particularly hits hard into the final chorus with those double time hi-hats.
From the band:
‘In Light’ is a tribute to the unspoken magic of empty dance floors—a love song to the spaces that shape our most meaningful moments.
Out now on Blue Grey Pink.
‘In Light’ is in the RTRFM Sound Selection for the week starting March 24th, 2025. It’s also been added to the West Australian Music Fresh Picks Playlist. And, the WL//WH Track of The Day on March 25th.
“In Light”, somehow a mix of The Go Betweens and Prefab Sprout pristine melodicism, a quaint love song urgently unravels through pulsating drums that dictate the sparkly pace alongside humming basslines, (WL//WH)

Jack Haynes (formerly known as Jack Aberdeen) is back with a new single ‘Ballad for the Backseat Drivers.’
Layered acoustic guitars and tambourine frame an on-point vocal performance, with the lyrics the feature, well crafted rhymes; a mix of profundity and humour.
