Our top ten tunes of the week – August 7
Here are the songs that have been floating our boat over the last few days:
1. Kira Puru – Molotov
“Molotov is an anthem for misfits and party animals,” Kira explains. “The clip is a celebration of things I love; bad dancing, collage, photo booth, general absurdity, champagne… I also wanted to give people a little look in to how unhinged the live shows can be, because I have a whole bunch coming up!”
2. Last Dinosaurs – Eleven
Shot and edited by Last Dino’s bassist, Michael Sloane, along with some assistance from his bandmates, brothers Sean and Lachlan Caskey, the clip is emblematic of the hands-on approach Last Dinosaurs are endeavouring to have on every element of the release of their third studio album, Yumeno Garden.
3. Manic Street Preachers – People Give In
Manic Street Preachers round off the summer and one of their busiest years to date with a new single.
4. Peter Bibby – Work for Arseholes
Work for Arseholes is a song about bad habits, self-reflection and pride, for better or worse. “I wrote it to make myself feel better about being a thirsty, unemployed insomniac whilst sitting in my bedroom in Northcote, Victoria. It didn’t make me feel that much better, however I have, for the most part, avoided working for arseholes ever since and I see that as a great success,” says Bibby of the track.
5. Morcheeba – It’s Summertime
Following on from the release of their positivity-packed ninth studio album, Blaze Away, the British trip-hop pioneers have dropped their next single.
6. Dustin Tebbutt – All Your Love
Dustin Tebbutt’s latest release is a solo, stripped back version of the song originally released as a dance track with Flight Facilities.
7. Loser – Loser
Melbourne’s Loser are excited to officially release their debut single of the same name.
8. Ainslie Wills – Society
The acclaimed singer-songwriter returns with a new single, taken from her highly-anticipated second LP, All You Have is All You Need, due early 2019.
9. Darkwing - Ignorant Ghost
Brooklyn-based rockers Darkwing have signed to Good Eye Records and unveiled a new single.
10. Sultan + Shepard – Louder
“Louder” is the prelude to their debut album, which is slated for release in January 2019.
