Two of Melbourne's most promising young singer-songwriters, Aimee Isobel and Connor Stanton, have come together for a hauntingly beautiful new single, Rainy Weather, a powerful duet that explores heartbreak, healing, and self-discovery.

Nearly twenty years after their cult debut Thirteen became an underground classic of the indie-dance era, Teenager, the long-running collaboration between Nick Littlemore of PNAU and Empire of the Sun and New Zealand's Pip Brown, better known as Ladyhawke, return with their long-awaited second album Fourteen. The release arrives alongside the pulsing electro-acid groove of lead track Getting Tough.

Melbourne soul powerhouse WILSN has dropped one final track before her new album Bloom lands on 17 October, and it’s a spicy one. The new single, Big Star, is a playful, tongue-in-cheek dig at an ex who thought he was rock’n’roll royalty – even while still living at home, driving Dad’s car and getting dinner made for him.

Nick Murphy, best known to the world as Chet Faker, has returned with a brand-new single, Inefficient Love, released today through BMG. The track follows Far Side of the Moon and sees one of Australia’s most distinctive songwriters once again baring his soul.

SXSW has announced another crop of showcasing artists as it also rounds up the list of keynotes.
