Hilltop Hoods Score Triple J Album Of The Week

The eagerly awaited seventh album from Australian hip-hop pioneers the Hilltop Hoods, Walking Under Stars, will make its way to triple j’s Album Of The Week next week, with fellow Aussies Courtney Barnett, Northeast Party House and Velociraptor also being added to the playlist.

Early this month Hilltop Hoods gave fans a taste of the new record with its first single, Won't Let You Down, a track that blends their signature sound with a little humour and gives high hopes that their first album effort since 2012’s critically acclaimed Drinking From The Sun – that went double-Platinum – will be just as good.

New Orleans blues singer Benjamin Booker's track Have You Seen My Son? made its way onto rotation as well as Kito & Reija Lee's WORD$.

You’ll hear a new track from Seattle duo ODESZA who toured Australia in June and new music from triple j Unearthed in the form of Brisbane psychedelic rockers Moses Gunn Collective and Perth dance act Slumberjack.
