Grand Salvo - Sea Glass (Mistletone)**Album of the Week

The seventh studio album from the recording project of Melbourne's Paddy Mann is a rich exploration of memory and identity, via the prolific songwriter's singular combination of of folk, classical and experimental sounds.

The Ocean Party - The Oddfellow's Hall (Spunk/Caroline Australia)

The latest from the long-running Melbourne pop band comes just days after the tragic death of drummer and song-writer Zac Denton. The album, recorded in a rural New South Wales hotel for which it is named, is a tribute to the late musician's songwriting abilities and illustrates a band who share a rare musical cohesiveness and vision.

Nun - The Dome (Aarght Records)

The long awaited follow up to 2014s much loved self-titled album arrives nearly two years after it was first announced. The four piece return with a startling attack of industrial synth, drum machines & dark cinematic lyricism.

Dead Can Dance - Dionysus (PIAS/Inertia)

The first album in six years from the long running Australian duo. The ambient release is inspired by the "difference facets of the Dionysus myth and his cult."

Marianne Faithfull - Negative Capability (BMG)

Marianne Faithful's 21st album is a late-career highlight, mediating on death, aging and contemporary globale evnets, recorded in Paris with Warren Ellis and PJ Harvey collaborator Rob Ellis.

Orchestra Of Spheres - Mirror (Fire Records)

Mirror is the latest from the Wellingtonian future-funk collective, expanding their sonic pallat and pushing their rythmic focus and primal vocal repetitions.

Glitoris - The Policy (Buttercup Records / MGM/RiSH)

Debut album from the Canberra four-piece is a timely attack of feminist-punk anthems and unapolagetic wit.

Slow Fades - Canyon Songs (Independent/RiSH)

The debut EP from the four piece finds them mining the 70s sounds of Petty, Springsteen and Brian Eno.
