News: Rowena Wise and Didirri announce Australia tour following the release of their elegantly beautiful single ‘No Cure For Love’ We here at the Antipodean outpost of Backseat Mafia have admired Didirri ever since 2018 when we covered his single ‘Formaldehyde’, and we confess we are a little late to the party with his most recent release, the elegantly beautiful duet 'No Cure For Love' with fellow indie artist Rowena Wise. 'No Cure For Love' drips with a melancholy bittersweet air enhanced by the delicious interplay of the vocals.

Album Review: Pulp gives us ‘More’ – returning with an aged beauty and graceful pose but the same louche insouciance we missed. In 'More', Pulp return not with a bang but with a graceful, knowing nod - like old friends who’ve learned that the quietest whispers can sometimes carry the heaviest truths. It's a record suffused with a poignant maturity, and yet it dances with all the absurd, anxious glamour that has always made Pulp more than just a band—they are a mirror held to the face of modern Britain, cracked and beautiful.

Album Review: Mess Esque’s ‘Jay Marie, Comfort Me’ is an epically beautiful and assured album, released ahead of European tour. Mess Esque, the collaboration between Helen Franzmann (McKisko) and Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Tren Brothers), follow up on their self-titled debut 2021 album (reviewed by me here) with the astronomically beautiful 'Jay Marie, Comfort Me'. Released through Drag City Records and Remote Control Records, it's a stunning collection of dreamy shimmering tracks that glow in the firmament.

News: The venerable Pulp announces ‘More’ – their first new album in 24 years – with anthemic single ‘Spike Island’ as a tasty amuse-bouche. While there have been a few live performances and the odd single and solo work, the venerable Pulp today announce the release of their first album in 24 years, fittingly entitled 'More'. The original line-up (sadly of course without bass player Stephen Mackey who died in 2023) with extra musicians on board will release the album on 6 June 2025 through…

Album Review: ‘After The Flood’ is a magnificent collaboration between legends Ed Kuepper and Jim White that glows with a passion. Following a thrilling tour last year between the two icons of Australian indie music, Ed Kuepper and Jim White have released ‘After The Flood’ on 21 March through Remote Control Records. Kuepper has also announced an extensive solo tour across Australia – his first solo gigs in five years following a series of gigs with a full band and with The Saints.

Album Review: The majestic Horsegirl unveil their stunning masterpiece ‘Phonetics On And On’, ahead of US. UK and European tour. At the risk of using superlatives so early in a review, I haven't got this excited about a band since I heard the first single from Fontaines D.C.. Originally from Chicago and now based in New York, Horsegirl stunned with their debut album 'Versions of Modern Performance' back in 2022 (read my review here), where I said it was:
