With their hiatus officially over, Sigur Ros have released 'Kvistur', an electronic soundscape which departs from their sound.

'Programme', from the world's suavest motherfunker, Breakbot, is melancholic and classy: the soundtrack to pondering the question of life.

Ultimately, 1969 is an album that‘s not really all that accessible, but it’s most definitely an interesting listen which spawns some interesting takes on classic late-‘60s pop, and an album that’s as ambitious musically as it is on paper.

Instrumental killer Serotonin allows the engine room to hold sway, something that is overlooked with the guitar solos and hero worship.

Nevertheless, compared to the vast majority of Australian music doing the rounds at the moment, The Go Set are still a step ahead of most of their peers.

While her delicate vocals occasionally hint at a deeper sadness, for the most part the mood remains innocently hopeful.

Kate does extend those incredible vocal chords when necessary and combining those with male backing vocals is a stroke of genius.

However, it is not an album worthy of sitting high on your record collection, rather an album that deserves a good listen here and there.

Maraqope is a beautiful album; enchanting, defiantly dreamy, and with ample room to build one’s own daydreams in the spaces Jurado has purpose built.
