YO LA TENGO
I CAN HEAR THE HEART BEATING AS ONE (1997)
It's 1997 - with grunge on the decline and boy bands on the horizon - and the direction of rock music no one actually realised they wanted was Beach Boys melodies with insane amounts of shoegaze feedback and distortion. Enter Yo La Tengo, one of the great (if not the actual greatest) quintessential American indie rock groups. Occasionally reduced to a band for music nerds, they have a little something for everybody with a career that is a perfect example of what can happen when a band follows its instincts. A rare occurrence in music history, I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One is their eighth album and a masterpiece on which the band's many sides represents their uncanny ability to successfully expand the boundaries of virtually any pop style. It's spilling with the stuff that makes Yo La Tengo great-- noisy, feedback-driven guitars, great pop hooks and consistent surprises.

BEN LEE
I'M FUN (2022)
Ben Lee is a national treasure and his hotly anticipated 20th (!!!) album - I'M FUN! - sees the man return to the people-pleasing sonics of his masterful 2005 fan favourite, Awake Is The New Sleep.
It's an affirming, open-hearted celebration of all things but not limited to growing up, being a weirdo and embracing positivity. The outspoken, cheeky, occasionally controversial, always entertaining and ultimately lovable Ben has undertaken many roles over his illustrious 30 year career - musician, singer, actor, personality activist and podcaster to name a handful - but his most important is arguably that of a songwriter. He has crafted some of the best, the most celebrated, catchiest, boppiest and beautifully nostalgic tunes in Australian pop history and I'm Fun only adds to his legacy further.
