Tech Death Metal Band Claim Top-Three Debut On Carlton Dry Indie Music Charts

Veteran Tasmanian technical death metal outfit Psycroptic have emerged the strongest new entrants on the Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts in a busier week than usual for debut faces, with their self-titled album strongly hitting the ladder at #3.

A little further down, hard-rock contemporaries Jericco step out at #12 with their recent full-length Machine Made The Animal, while over on the Singles chart Canberran electro three-piece Safia claim highest new entry this week with Counting Sheep.

The You Are The One hit-makers are backed up in the fresh-face stakes by resurgent solo artist Asta, whose new track Dynamite, featuring Allday, earns her #10, while George Maple sees recent cut Where You End & I Begin take out #15.

At the top of the list, ascendant Brissy artist Jarryd James continues his upward trajectory, leapfrogging Sia — who now occupies the #2 (Elastic Heart) and #4 (Chandelier) spots — to claim #1 single this week with Do You Remember while, down the other end, we see a great moment in charting confluence as Seth Sentry and San Cisco come to rest next to each other at #17 and #18 respectively with their tracks, both called Run (or, if you want to get pedantic, Run and RUN).

Interestingly, Gurrumul has popped back up the charts, his self-titled album taking #18 this week in the wake of some high-profile endorsement from Quincy Jones, while Karnivool ride their Themata anniversary tour announcement to see that seminal record, which turns 10 years old this year, make it back to the top 20 at #19.
