'End of Everything' is the intrepid seventh album from Mega Bog, a nightmarish experimental pop ensemble led by Erin Elizabeth Birgy. 'End of Everything' was recorded with James Krivchenia (Big Thief) who co-produced the record with Birgy and played drums, bringing his rhythmic mastery and wild percussive spirit. Krivchenia also mixed the record and co-engineered it with Phil Hartunian. The album's fantastical textures and heavy polyphony owe a great deal to synthesizer maestro and pianist Aaron Otheim. Zach Burba, one of the founding members of Mega Bog, plays bass, while Will Segerstrom, Meg Duffy (Hand Habits), and Jackson Macintosh (Drugdealer, TOPS) contribute electric guitars.

Melbourne post-punk quartet RVG present the new single/video, “Common Ground” from their forthcoming album, 'Brain Worms', out June 2nd on Fire Records. All throughout 'Brain Worms', it’s apparent that this is a band in very fine form. Album opener “Common Ground” sets the tone for what’s to come: a shiny, thrilling, punch of an album, with all the beloved RVG hallmarks.
Recognised as a purveyor of dreamier pop with folky leanings, this new album is a departure; a unique marriage of traditional stylings and very modern melodies; a breath-taking soundtrack which underpins her gorgeous vocal. Filled with personal tales of offspring and grandparents, the lovelorn and the lost, it’s the essence of re-imagined folk music, from the traditional intro and outro that act as bookends.
Following the release of Air Waves’ recent acclaimed album The Dance we reveal a brand new reworking of ‘Star Earring’ from electronic artist and record producer, Planningtorock.

‘Mercy Of The Crane Folk’ is the beautifully accomplished second album from Athens GA’s Immaterial Possession. A theatrical soundscape littered with subconscious flashbacks, retro keyboard flurries, wandering Morricone-esque guitar and dreamy Sumac-like harmonies.
