Dropping today on Yep Roc records is the fifth studio album from Nashville cosmic country balladeers, the Cordovas. A group that often draw comparisons to the likes of Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers, Back to Life is a warm and fuzzy record of heartfult and soulful American that also features some unexpected twists, including “Wings”, a collaboration with spiritual jazz legend Kamasi Washington.

Maitland-via-Sydney-via Canberra extraordinaires Neo-Magics have just dropped their fourth sortie into garage and psych-laden covers albums this week on Half A Cow records. Taking on everything from The Saints to Technotronic and Taylor Swift, Yes, We Have Bananas is a weird and wonderful journey through pop hits of yesteryear as you’ve never heard them before. Out digitally and on very limited 100 vinyl copies.

Imbued with a detoriated diy aesthetic and songs built around late night solitude, the debut record from Melbourne’s Slowcoaching (aka Dean Valentino) recently arrived on Habit Records, and is well worth checking out!

Triples began as a sister duo between Toronto’s Eva and Madeline Link (aka Packs), who recorded one album together in 2019, before branching off with their own respective solo work. For this new EP, Eva built a new band around herself and eschewed some of more experimental tendencies to hone in on a larger, more direct earworm-laden 90s indie rock and grunge sound.

For the first time, again is the debut album from Los Angeles-based crooner Tyler Ballgame (aka Tyler Perry) is a gem of retrofitted 60s soul and pop and out today on remote control. Originally hailing from the East Coast (his artist name being a reference to a famed Boston Red Sox player), Perry caused a storm as he emerged through the L.A open mic scene, particularly for his covers of 60s pop. Meanwhile, he gradually began turning to his own songwriting. With a distinct, virtuosic voice akin to Bobby Vinton and Roy Orbison, his sound hits deep on the heart strings and is well worth wrapping your ears around.
