EP Review: Sam McMeekin unveils her stunning pop collection ‘Amelioration’, heralding a bright future. 'Amelioration' is Lutruwita/Tasmanian artist Sam McMeekin's second release following her debut EP 'Tempest' released last year, and it portends an important new artist from the Apple Isle. While the release has ten tracks, which would normally be labelled as an album, McMeekin says it is intended to be an EP as it is not a cohesive whole and has a variety of sounds. Indeed there is a mix of alt country and indie pop throughout, providing an element of progression and development in style. The album was apparently written after a particularly intense relationship breakdown, and this seems to certainly seep through the lyrics and delivery throughout the album, which has a heartbreaking elegant beauty about it.

EP Review: Sydney-raised, Tokyo-based artist Joey Sachi unveils the luminescent and silky tones of EP ‘Rise’. Sydney-raised, Tokyo-based artist Joey Sachi has caught our attention with a series of mesmerising singles released over the last few years, including honouring us with the premiere of her debut single 'Fractured' back in 2023. She has now collected two of these singles in an EP entitled 'Rise' with additional unheard material, and, continuing to work with producer AKINAT, the result is something quite special. Sachi says of opening track 'circuits': The mantra throughout was… ‘it’s not that deep.’ As a sensitive girl this was no mean feat. I really drilled it into every creative decision though…to put it simply I wanted to have ‘fun’ writing this one!

EP Review: Kat Greta collects her glorious singles into a shimmering EP aptly entitled ‘Rhythm & Reverie’. Kat Greta has been blinding us here at the antipodean outpost of Backseat Mafia with her brand of luminescent pop that seems to emit rays of sunshine and joy with every note. Greta's background in percussion permeates every note, adding a frisson to the sound and a beat that is irrepressible. After releasing a series of single over the past year, Greta has released an EP aptly entitled 'Rhythm & Reverie' which gathers together the sparkles in one basket and adds one extra poignant track. The resultant package is augmented by its constituent parts.
