Unfold’s debut record Glass Heart is out now on Tone List. The duo of Alice Humphries and Thea Rossen take great care in the curation and performance of sound. The balance of the melodic and harmonic with the textural and percussive is perfect. And, the pacing of the work maintains momentum, whilst also challenging the listener to approach with a certain patience in the listening.
The single ‘Move’ off Glass Heart was in the RTRFm Sound Selection for the week of November 13th, 2023.

Following the single ‘Little Wonder,’ Jameson Feakes releases Albany’s Famous Gardeners, the full-length acoustic folk extravaganza. In collaboration with the State Library of WA and State Records Office of WA, Feakes wrote songs inspired by interesting finds in the archives, often from the personal writing of folks long past. The album constructs a kind of ode to both everyday folks in the South West and the State Archives themselves. For this project Feakes formed an all-star, Boorloo-based ensemble of friends for a live-in-the-studio recording session. The result is beautiful melodies amongst moody textures, generated through immaculate musicianship.

L0k’s The Party Album is out now. Listening to this one is a little like being at a party with a very ambitious DJ, who’s really doing the thing, filling the music with textural twist and turns, sparse grooves, and complex lo-fi production. The melodies and lyrics from the “first take” vocals pitches at a more personal level, deeper than the purely party music. Certainly worth listening to this one in its entirety.

e.s. hughes record angel is out now on Source Decay. Hugh Manning’s beautiful lyricism is captured in great detail and presented amongst minimal instrumentation. I really enjoy the groove throughout this record, most obvious on ‘Paper Shields.’ ‘Arboretum’ is a fave track with Manning and Moses voices sitting so well in unison over the descending bass line.
angel is the RTRFm Local Feature for the week of November 27th, 2023.
