Miami Horror Return With Top-Three Debut On Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts

Resurgent Melburnian electro-whizzes Miami Horror have stormed back into the popular consciousness with their eagerly received second studio full-length, All Possible Futures, walking away with the #3 spot and highest entry point of any new act on this week's Album rankings on the Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts.

The album marks the Sometimes scribes' first new work since their 2010 debut, Illumination, and manages to knock fellow second effort Gracetown, by West Australian indie darlings San Cisco, down a peg to #4. Rick Price's Tennessee Sky - the only other new face on the full-length ladder this week - comes in just below, but still strongly, at #5.

Respective top-two album placeholders Sia (1000 Forms Of Fear) and Courtney Barnett (Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit) remain unassailable in their positions, with additional consistency across weeks coming courtesy of Sticky Fingers' back-to-back effort (still Land Of Pleasure at #7, Caress Your Soul at #8), and Colin Hay's Next Year People, which stays solid at #14.

Sia's hat-trick atop the Singles chart comes undone this week, with Hermitude's The Buzz, featuring Mataya and Young Tapz, jumps three spots to wedge itself in at #2, sending Sia's Elastic Heart and Chandelier down a spot each to #3 and #4 respectively, though Big Girls Cry remains untouched at #1.

It's not like Sia's had a bad week, however; latest single Fire Meet Gasoline makes its entry at #10 this week, a few places behind fellow debutante Gemini (#7), by What So Not; meanwhile, Ta-Ku rounds out the week's fresh faces with Love Again, newly charting at #20.
