Sugar Army by Lost At E Minor
Sugar Army are four guys who've spent their lives in the dreamy slumber of West Australia, with their only savior from terminal boredom being music. With the lengthy titled opener, "And Now You're Old Enough, I Think That You Should Know," earning these indie rock purists high rotation on Australian radio network Triple J and community radio, the cheeky quartet have just added a slot at the Big Day Out music festival to their list of accolades. With raw bone bass lines and insanely addictive beats, this EP needs more than just kitschy multi-colored teddies littered across the cover, it needs their trademark disclaimer—diabetics beware.
Pick up the EP from their site or 78 Records.

Circle
Sydney band Circle have just released their debut album Just Keep Swimming and boy does it make me smile. It's an album that works hard to take your mind elsewhere—and succeeds. Driven by piano, the album is a layered sing-a-long pop fiesta with a good dose of guitar stroking, hand clapping shout-out-loud anthems. It will remind you of Ben Folds, Ben Lee and the...

Cut Copy
Melbourne's Cut Copy is the hottest electro act out of Australia right now. We spoke to Mitchell Brown from the group to get the lowdown. Does Melbourne still have a dynamic creative scene? I think it really does—there's no shortage of people in Melbourne doing amazingly cool things creatively, whether it's music, art, fashion, or design. There's a lot going on. Also, for music,...

Lenka Kripac
It's good to hear that Aussie singer/songwriter Lenka Kripac is kicking around Los Angeles doing interesting things with interesting people. Her "breathy, strangely haunting Björk-style voice" [Rolling Stone, 2004] has been featured in Sydney band Decoder Ring for the past few years on the critically acclaimed albums Fractions and Somersault and now she's branching out to create atmospheric pop songs as a solo artist....
