This Week's Releases

Ariel Pink — pom pom (4AD/Remote Control)

LA-based muso Ariel Pink gives us even more weird on his latest record. The release seems to tread a line between creep (think Robin Thicke creepy) and entertaining, catchy earworms. Pom pom is our Album Of The Week.

Bertie Blackman — The Dash (Warner)

Eclectic singer-songwriter has followed up her acclaimed 2012 LP Pope Innocent X with another dose of her quirky alternative-pop. The Dash is a little more restrained than its predecessor, but it's more than worth the listen. Stream it now!

Kerser — KING (Obese)

Controversial Western Sydney MC Kerser will release his fourth album in as many years tomorrow. The LP details his unique rags to riches story, one that he ran through for us in this exclusive track by track.

TV On The Radio — Seeds (EMI)

The veteran indie rock band will unveil their first album since the passing of bassist Gerard Smith tomorrow, their fifth record to date. Seeds covers "so many different moods" according to The Music's Tyler McLoughlan. A worthy tribute to their former bandmate.
