Courtney Barnett
Likely no intro necessary
The Goon Sax
Indie pop from Brisbane. Contains child of Go-Between. Reckon this is one of the best albums of the last ten years tbh:
Peter Bibby
Reckon he could only come from Australia:
Flowertruck
Dreamy woozy Aussie indie from NSW:
This is definitely enough to get started.
Not a singles guy per way of genre. But Lawrence English has been putting out wonderful experimental, ambient, drone, field recording albums for a awhile now.
Loved Plaster of Paris’s Lost Familiar so much I bought the red vinyl
Great album, very Sleater-Kinney adjacent.

King Stingray
Ok, one more - a mesh of indie, pop and Aboriginal Australian music. Absolutely fucking bangs and is just great all round:
Divide and Dissolve’s Gas Lit narrowly missed my top 10 of last year also
I know they’ve been brought up a fair bit on here though so probably already heard by those that should.
Was not aware of these or Plaster of Paris!
Where should I start?
Do you like drone? I always have to ask as precursor as it’s one of my favorite genres and realize its an acquired taste, but this is probably my favorite of his. Veers a little on the noise drone to start but cascades into wonderful dark ambiance to close.
I am always looking to push my boundaries! Will give a whirl.
Impossible to imagine how you came to know about this band
We lost the sea.
Fantastic post rock band. Departure songs is a tribute to the Challenger disaster.
This is the last track on the album, Reagan’s speach gives me goosebumps every time.
Realised as I got to the end of this video that it seems a lot cleverer than it looks. I can’t see the normal sneaky ways they stitch stuff together to make a ‘one shot’ but I guess they can do it digitally very easily now. Still, must have taken a fair bit of storyboarding because all those points where it ‘judders’ with the music would need to be accounted for in order to start the next take in the right place for the miming to match the vocals.
Wot no Luluc?
Saw them supporting J Mascis a few years back, fell hard for them.
