Returning to Melbourne for her first headline show in almost two years, producer and multi-instrumentalist Audrey Powne is playing shows this October for the Melbourne International Jazz Festival and Sydney International Women’s Jazz Festival. To celebrate her homecoming, Audrey released a double vinyl remix album of her debut LP From The Fire, a treasure trove of sonic brilliance featuring both new and released interpretations of her tracks, out via UK label BBE. 

Hypnotic dance-punk sextet Gut Health have been a force in underground music since they first formed in a sharehouse on Hope St in Naarm/Melbourne’s inner north in 2022.

Sequential Zero has unveiled their new, highly-anticipated full-length release, Zero Sum Game. While musically playing a fond tribute to the darkwave genre, the lyrics on Zero Sum Game cover a wide range of subjects from ancient spells, environmental concerns to interpersonal politics and depression. 

This week’s PBS Feature Album is the debut album Stiletto by six-piece hypnotic dance-punk ensemble Gut Health.

Recorded in 2023 with long-term collaborator Julian Cue (CIVIC, Screensaver) and Gut Health’s Dom Willmott on a 24-track reel-to-reel tape machine, Gut Health’s debut full-length offering is an immersive ten-track foray into dancefloor-inducing soundscapes and punchy prowess, with songs oscillating between infectious up-tempo numbers, hypnotic bliss and chaotic noise edging precariously toward collapse.
