“Spiral Bound” is the newest album by Ernest Aines and it is just incredible. However, before we get onto that, let us have a little look at who Ernest Aines is.

Well, to answer that one, Ernest Aines is a multi-award-winning singer-songwriter from Melbourne. He makes music of folk/Americana style and has played at multiple festivals. These festivals including travelling across the world to places like Brazil, New Zealand, Japan, The USA, and Germany.

This new album was released in September 2023, and it consists of ten different incredible tracks.

The album kicks off with a track titled, “Pixels” and this one is certainly a brilliant way to start the album. The one is quite a soft track; however, it still manages to be quite powerful. The music, the vocals, the lyrics and even the production of this tune is absolutely amazing, and I just love it.

The third track, “Rigged Games” is quite a long song, lasting over six-minutes long, and every single second of it is amazing. You will not find yourself bored during this track, as the music and the vocals will keep you engrossed for the full six minutes. This track really shows Ernest’s talents.

This album is one which is really difficult to pick your favourite from, however for me, my favourite must be the fifth track, “Lady In Waiting.” This is another mellow track and Ernest’s vocals really shine in this one. There is no denying that his vocals are brilliant.

“Spiral Bound” ends with, yet again, another fantastic track, “Tail Tale.” This is the perfect end to the album, and it actually leaves you wanting more!

This album is outstanding. So be sure not to miss out and go and give “Spiral Bound” a little listen to now.

Lovesick are an amazing band, who creates some incredible pieces of music! The take heavy inspiration from the likes of The Pixies, David Bowie, and The Cure.

However, today we are looking at Lovesick’s most recent cover “Beach Foam”. This track is an alternative-rock/country track that is just amazing! The music is quite soft and has an amazing vibe to it. The music has a very euphoric sound to it, and I just cannot get enough of it!

The vocals in this track are also brilliant! They have a distorted tone to them, and although this is different and unique, it is also very intriguing!

I myself cannot describe how amazing this track is, so be sure to head over to YouTube (where there is a little music video) and check out “Beach Foam” by Lovesick for yourself! Go and give it the love that it deserves!

Monochrome Midnight Traveller is an incredible duo, which engrosses you within their music, and honestly whisk you away into another dimension.

“Reality” and “Spaces” are two new singles that have just been released by Monochrome Midnight Traveller, and these two pieces invite us to get lost in the overlapping realms of reality and illusion.

Let us start with “Reality.” “Reality” is a track that lasts just over three-minutes long, and every second of it is incredible! The music is one that is unique, and certainly intriguing. This is not your usual electronic track; in fact, it is much better! There are a minimal number of vocals, which enables our focus to remain on the music, however the vocals that are present are incredible! The female voice adds to the mysterious vibe and allows us to really get whisked away into that other dimension!

Next, we have “Spaces” which is a slightly longer track, lasting over four minutes long! This is my preferred one of the two, as everything about it is just brilliant! The music is more enjoyable, and the male vocals are just fantastic! This is a very mystical, euphoric track, and I just love it!

Ultimately, these two tracks are incredible! Although they are different, you will find yourself hooked, and stuck in these tracks. So be sure to give them both a little listen to now, and you will not regret it!

“Judy” is the latest release by Loose Bolts, and this is definitely not one you will want to miss out on!

“Judy” is a soft, acoustic track and it is just fantastic. Giving me vibes of Ed Sheeran, you will find yourself hooked, playing this tune on repeat all day long! The track is quite a catchy one, and the beat of it is just brilliant! Although this is not usually my usual cup of tea, this track is just WOW!

Loose Bolts vocals in this one are also fantastic! His voice is so talented and pure, and it just ultimately perfect for this type of track!

The lyrics in this one are also quite deep, as the vocalist sings about ‘Judy’ who is obviously a close person to him, but also someone who he might have made a mistake with.

I cannot put into words how good this song is, so be sure to check out Loose Bolts newest release for yourself!
