This Week's Releases

Gurrumul & The Sydney Symphony – His Life and Music (Universal)

Prepare to hear important and moving music of Gurrumul in a completely different way, with this live recording of his performance with The Sydney Symphony. This is a powerful album in the most simplest sense - and a must listen.

Childish Gambino – Because The Internet (Glassnote/Liberator)

Donald Glover is a quintessential all-rounder - music, acting, comedy. His career as an MC plus producer, instrumentalist and singer is probably the one that's reaped him (and will continue to do so) the most praise. His latest LP treads the line between mainstream and underground perfectly.

Crisis Alert – Urban Decay (Resist)

Adelaide hardcore outfit Crisis Alert will unleash their debut full-length album on us tomorrow and it's "a frantic blast of fresh air in a scene that often forgets its own roots" according to Mark Hebblewhite. This is no-nonsense and you need to hear it.
