Stand Atlantic ProfileAnother week, another ten bangers are coming your way.
Each week, The Music sifts through streaming services, our inboxes, and our chats to choose ten new songs for our weekly playlist, The Music’s Friday Finds: The Week’s Best New Music.
We update the playlist on Spotify and Apple Music, and it includes the hottest songs from Australia and around the world. This week, we’ve gathered new songs from Stand Atlantic, LISA, Northlane, Dominic Fike, Skepta, The Buoys, and much more.
Before you check out each song, here’s a short breakdown of the tracks added to our playlist this week.
Stand Atlantic – SO COOL
SO COOL, the latest single from Stand Atlantic’s new album, GODBREATH, is an example of what the Aussie band does best. Effortlessly catchy pop-punk hooks, crunchy guitars and drums, and a commanding performance from singer Bonnie Fraser make for another killer track.
LISA – Tarantino
Continuing to showcase a solo career beyond BLACKPINK, LISA brings the drama on Tarantino. She raps and sings over an intense beat, her falsetto floating as she evokes the most memorable scenes from Quentin Tarantino films.
Northlane – Deathwish
Layered synths and Marcus Bridge's beautiful vocals herald Northlane’s latest track, Deathwish. The Aussie metal outfit plays with drum and bass on the single, calling back to acts like Pendulum and Skrillex without abandoning their signature heavy flair.
Dominic Fike – Pangea
Pangea, the latest single from Dominic Fike, is just too cool, summoning blissed-out summer beach days with its acoustic guitar and his rapping.
The Buoys – Take It Over
Take It Over opens The Buoys’ new album, Concrete Cowboy, with a bang. Led by gritty guitars and drums, Zoe Catterall sings with attitude and ease. When she says “there’s no turning back,” you’re up for the journey.
Skepta – Track 5
With a swirling beat and synths opening Track 5, Skepta quickly shows where the song is going, balancing energetic raps with melancholic instrumentals. The grime star continues to make unmissable songs that grow more impressive with each listen.
girl in red – missing person
Acoustic guitars chronicle girl in red’s tender new single, missing person. It’s a wistful, pretty track that gets all the more heartbreaking when she sings, “Without you, my world ends.”
Annie Hamilton – chainmail
Blending electronics and synths with a softly strummed electric guitar, Annie Hamilton unveils a new world on her single, chainmail. She yearns throughout the track as it gradually ups the ante with driving chords and keyboard twinkles, her voice moving the whole time.
Dan Sultan – Can’t Be for Nothing
Anchored by engaging piano melodies, Can’t Be for Nothing is a power ballad that showcases Dan Sultan’s incredible vocal range and storytelling. Strings only add to the beauty, making the track an instant anthem.
Urthboy, Emmy Mack – Alarm
By teaming up with RedHook’s Emmy Mack, Alarm is way more punk-driven than fans might expect from Urthboy. It works. His lines are raw, hard-hitting and honest as he examines today’s political climate, while Mack adds bursts of attitude.
