This week’s PBS Feature Album is Home Fires, the long awaited second record from the Melbourne outfit Small Town Romance.
On their latest release, Home Fires presents a rich and ambitious collection of songs bursting with life and finely attuned insights. With a knack for a story, an uncanny ear for melody and an innate poeticism, Small Town Romance blend folk, country and roots influences to create a sound that is uniquely their own.
This week’s PBS Feature Album is PLASMATA, the sophomore record from four-piece funk-punk ensemble Proto Moro.
PLASMATA draws inspiration from Greek mythology, the stories of Medusa and Hephaestus serving as a statement to the environmental atrocities being committed by mining companies and big corporations on Indigenous Country today. The anxiety that comes with the destruction that capitalism has created embodies itself within the instruments and voices of Proto Moro, giving the record its explosive sound.
This week’s PBS Feature Album is the debut record In The Space You Carry by local multi-instrumentalist Darvid Thor.
In The Space You Carry is a catharsis from youth, a shedding of skin. Leaning into the cinematic and orchestral spaces within the indie and alternative music idiom, Darvid’s absorbing, photosynthetic, warped, beautiful music reminds us to slow down, take a breath, and take stock of what’s around us.

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Megaflower, the third studio album from Brisbane/Meanjin rock group Full Flower Moon Band.
Produced by frontwoman Kate Dillon aka Babyshakes, Megaflower features the full five-piece, triple-guitar line-up that audiences have grown accustomed to over the last two years of must-see live shows. Presenting a new direction for the band, their latest release emphasises expansion and diversity rather than just intensifying their rock sound.
