As the title of his most recent album Hyperspace might imply, eight-time Grammy-winner Beck has traveled light years from his emergence as a reluctant generational spokesperson when ‘Loser’ exploded from a rejected 1992 demo into a ubiquitous 1994 smash. In the decades since, Beck's singular career has seen him explore all genres and eras of music, blurring boundaries and blazing a path into the future while foraging through the past.

Beginning with his 1994 debut Mellow Gold, Beck’s creative evolution has always progressed at an exponential rate.  From 1996’s multi-platinum cultural touchstone Odelay to 1998's world-tripping Mutations and the florescent funk of 1999's Midnite Vultures, 2002's somber Sea Change, 2005's platinum tour de force Guero and 2006's sprawling The Information, 2008's acclaimed Modern Guilt, 2014’s Album of the Year Grammy winner Morning Phase, the “euphoric blast of experimental pop” (Rolling Stone) that was 2017’s Colors and his 2019 "best in a decade” (People) Hyperspace… No Beck record has ever sounded like its predecessor — though The New York Times notes a consistent thread: "Though Beck’s records through the years have tended toward maximalism, a kind of meticulous sonic gorgeousness, melody remains central to his art.”

October 2022 saw the release of the bands fourth album ‘Low Altitude Living’. The album showcases why Ocean Alley continue on their unstoppable rise as one of Australia’s most exciting musical exports. As Baden explains, “Low altitude, being by the beach is where we all have the most peace. So naming the album Low Altitude Living made a lot of sense. The title of the album doesn’t necessarily represent any one song in particular, or tie them all together. But it does tie our band to the music. I feel like it’s more of a title that describes why we sound like Ocean Alley.”

Babe Rainbow is a musical meditation that folds a map between California and the blue hills of Byron Bay. Compressing time, like a needle skipping over the past half-century of music. The band is making the type of music that was floating down from Laurel Canyon in the early 70s, as Crosby, Stills and Nash waited for Young to wander back from the forest. Think of The Beach Boys after they had packed up the surfboards, ditched their LA label, and moved to the hills to smoke Californian grass. Babe Rainbow has blossomed into a music perennial, five albums and three Eps into their own sonic kaleidoscope.

Built to Spill first emerged in 1992. With frontman Doug Martsch at the helm, the band's lineup has evolved over the years, but one thing stays true: the band’s unique ability to craft complicated, emotionally wracked songs that melt hearts as easily as they do speakers. After their debut album Ultimate Alternative Wavers in 1993, and the 90s receded in the rear mirror, the band kept going strong.

Through numerous line-up changes and a shifting of musical landscapes, Martsch stayed true to his roots, and records like 2015’s Untethered Moon and 2022’s When the Wind Forgets Your Name are testament to the band’s enduring talent. Meeting in the middle between Pavement-style pop and the loose, spacious jamming of Neil Young, Built To Spill have kept the concept of the indie guitar hero alive. 

As the Lemon Twigs, sons of power pop songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ronnie D'Addario, Brian and Michael D'Addario channel the '70s singer/songwriter energy of their father's era and add a healthy love of musical theater and an over-the-top performance. The brothers began writing songs from a young age and delivered their 2016 debut album, Do Hollywood, on 4AD at the tail-end of their teenage years. Success came quickly, with critical acclaim and a string of TV appearances as well as extensive touring.

They evolved from the conceptual eccentricity of their 2018 sophomore album, Go to School, to a more varied but no less bombastic set of songs on their 2020 album Songs for the General Public, to the more emotionally naked sentiments of their folksier but still wildly eclectic 2023 album Everything Harmony.

For Jade Bird, the second that lockdown lifted, there were no aimless summer days spent meeting friends in parks; no languorous evenings in pub gardens. She was headed straight back to Nashville to complete her second album – albeit via a strict two-week quarantine in Mexico City. She allowed herself to see no more of the Mexican capital than the local store and a leg-stretching walk around the block, not wanting to jeopardise any chance of being allowed into the States to finish what she had started with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, John Prine, Lady Gaga). The highlight of her stay in Mexico was literally her boyfriend pointing out a particularly gnarly spider he spotted as he had a cigarette on the balcony. “I move on really quick,” Jade explains of the urgency she felt. “My partner always says there’s no in between with me whatsoever, it's on or it's off. My feeling was: I’m in it, I love these songs, I want to sing. That’s why we made heaven and earth move so I could do that in that moment.”

In the US, Jade became part of a community of songwriters and career artists who showed her that a happier, more holistic and sustainable way of working was possible. The likes of Isbell, Sheryl Crow and Jade’s friend and champion, Brandi Carlile, promote a nurturing environment, she says, and often tour with their families in tow. It was inspiring. “Especially for a young, female artist, knowing that you can be happy and do your job is really underrated,” says Jade.

“Third album, fourth album.” There’s no rush. The trepidation she felt about her profession on her debut has dissipated. “I never felt like I could call myself an artist – like, we’ll see. Whereas I know that’s my occupation now. That’s who I am, and that’s incredibly reassuring.”

Five lives that collided to make a stamp of their own.

Gaining global attention with their first two releases ‘Backyard’ and ‘From a View’, the band is now touring their new album ‘Painting of my Time’ extensively across Australia, USA and UK/Europe.

Surprise Chef’s music is based on evoking mood; their vivid arrangements utilize time and space to build soundscapes that invite the listener into their world.

Hailing from just outside Melbourne, their first two albums, All News Is Good News and Daylight Savings (released in 2020) precipitated a cult-like fervour around the band. They were championed by DJs and tastemakers who spread Surprise Chef’s music from their home studio to audiences in every corner of the globe. The band were considered such a revelation amongst aficionados of funk and soul that in 2022 they were signed to Big Crown Records, a Brooklyn-based label who are considered to be on the cutting edge of the genre.
