This Week's Releases

Pearl Jam – Lightning Bolt (Universal)

The Big Day Out headliners are set to unveil Lightning Bolt this week, after almost 20 years of live performances with basically the same band lineup. Their tenth offering proved to The Music's Lukas Murphy that the Seattle rockers are not stopping any time soon.

Scott & Charlene's Wedding – Any Port In A Storm (Bedroom Suck)

Claiming an awesome 4.5 stars and snatching our Album Of The Week, Scott & Charlene's Wedding have delivered a new offering taking us back to the '90s, brimming with indie rock melancholy and sarcastic wit that showcases frontman Craig Dermody's innocent, emotional side.

Stonefield – Stonefield (Wunderkind/Illusive)

The Findlay sisters have finally unveiled their debut self-titled LP after named as support for huge acts Foo Fighters and Fleetwood Mac, a release that can only be described as a musical and technical success, the production of the girls' offering exceeding most debut records. Amy, Sarah, Hannah and Holly also shared their favourite songs and the tunes that have inspired their music this week.

Yuck – Glow & Behold (Caroline)

After a turbulent start to the year seeing their frontman Daniel Bloomberg leave the band, London's Yuck picked themselves back up. Giving bassist Max Bloom the mic and developing their new record Glow & Behold out tomorrow, Yuck have experimented with new instruments and gradual builds keeping their sound alive.

Loon Lake – Gloamer (Caroline)

The garage-rockers from Melbourne have added a touch of electro keys to their sound to give their debut (and long-awaited) full-length a bit of maturity and texture, Look Lake's Sam Nolan telling The Music's Simone Ubaldi that getting to that point wasn't easy. It seems the sounds added to Gloamer have made more awesome results.
