Ubiquitous Melburnian multi-instrumentalist Harts can enjoy a late signal boost for 2014 LP Daydreamer ahead of his national tour this June after the record stepped out comfortably inside the top 20, at  #14, on this week's Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts.

Harts earned the second-highest entry spot for a full-length release this week, with top honours going to C3 (Christian City Church Oxford Falls) for their release Only Love, which slides inside the top five at #4. Across the board, however, it's a relatively tepid week for new faces as White Shadows picks up the sole remaining full-length debut, coming in at #18, while King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's I'm In Your Mind Fuzz fills the re-entry quota on its lonesome, back in the charts at #20.

The top two, however — Sia's 1000 Forms Of Fear and Courtney Barnett's Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit — remain unmoved from their spots atop the pile, while West Australian indie darlings San Cisco step up a rung with sophomore LP Gracetown reaching #3 this week. 

In terms of singles, the pack remains largely unchanged, especially in the first half of the ladder, though The Jungle Giants (Every Kind Of Way), Nicky Night Time (Gonna Get Better) and San Cisco (Run) manage to crack the cut-off, with their respective singles entering the charts at #17, #19 and #20. Here, too, though, the pointy end is steady as ever — Jarryd James is still at #1 with Do You Remember, while Sia's back-to-back hold on #2 and #3 (with Elastic Heart and Big Girls Cry) endures for another week.
