Fresh Finds: Class Of 2025 – Aussie Acts To Add To Your Playlist

The Reviews Are In

Plenty of new tunes were given a listen this week

Rilo Kiley - RKIVES

"As their final farewell, Rilo Kiley's Rkives is a send off that's suitably mournful, sprinkled with memories and promises of what could have been."

Shout Out Louds - Optica

"After ten years, this group has not forgotten how to turn lemons into lemonade and it still tastes pretty damn good."

Mick Harvey - FOUR (Acts Of Love)

"FOUR… is just another example of Harvey's careful eye and ear, and a talent that can be confident, self-effacing and honest all at once."

Thee Oh Sees - Floating Coffin

"Floating Coffin is waiting for you to dance, to shake alongside the jaunty guitar lines and to jump in time with Dwyer's yelps."

The Delta Riggs - Hex.Lover.Killer

"The Delta Riggs have shown that they don't care what you think – they're just here to give the music world a shot in the arm with a no-holds-barred mix of rock, retro glamour and a hell of a lot of life."

Super Wild Horses - Crosswords

"Crosswords is a brilliant follow-up to their debut and bears witness to the duo's growth as musicians."

Fall Out Boy - Save Rock And Roll

"Though there's still plenty of Wentz's neat, sassy little phrasings in the lyrics, this album is a long way from the band's teenage emo beginnings."

Iron & Wine - Ghost On Ghost

"Overall, it's another well-crafted item from a brand of quality."

Owl Eyes - Nightswim

"Nightswim feels like a dance pop record from a session vocalist trying to make it on her own rather than a breakthrough release from a prodigious talent."

Ben Lee - Ayuhausca, Welcome To The Work

"This confusion is translated through these tracks, and while there are some redeeming moments, there is nothing to transport listeners to higher planes."
