Melbourne four piece Birdsnake masterfully find the balance between the crisp of digital against the rough of analogue; as displayed in their debut Birdsnake Begins EP. Following on from the 2023 release sees the band's stand alone single 'Rare Amulet'. Aquatic and elemental, the flirtatious dance of our Mother's sublime is heralded, as the band find inspiration through the small magical moments of the natural world. Specifically imbued by the diamond formations of the sandy sea floor as the sun refracts the shallows, local harpist Genevieve Fry quantifies the textural serene scene to complete this gorgeous new tune.

Chicago clarinetist, singer and composer Angel Bat Dawid liberated her album The Oracle in 2019; her debut International Anthem release. An improvised masterpiece, it serves as the catalyst to a prosperous career; for Dawid created the body of work entirely solo using her mobile phone. To be later overdubbed and layered with the voice and lo-fi symphonies of Asher Gamedze, we peep into not only the creative prowess, but complete raw, DIY rebellion of two incredibly forward thinking musicians.
