It’s that time of week where we team up with Jim Beam to share with you some sizzling new tunes that have just dropped. Open your ears and hop in.

Narla – ‘Mountain’

Taken from their debut album, Till The Weather Changes, ‘Mountain’ combines all the elements of Narla that we love. There’s groove, there’s spacey vocals and there’s a little bit of chaos. These guys are the real deal – they recorded their entire live record to tape, which captures the energy and that has seen them destroy stages up and down the coast over the past decade or so.

Plastic Face – ‘2headedhorse’

What is a plastic face? Who are plastic face? Your guess is as good as ours. What we can tell you is we’re getting wrapped up in the sonic soundscapes and spattered vocal melodies of this enigmatic duo. ‘2headhedhorse’ blend euphoric synths with a stuttery beat and vocoder-soaked crooning, before the infectious “You make me seem so crazy right now” line hits oh so hard. We’ve heard this is just the beginning from Plastic Face – stay tuned.

Ball Park Music – ‘Paranoid Android’

It’s very dangerous territory covering Radiohead. The group are known for their diehard no-nonsense fanbase of sadboys/girls (ourselves included) and many bands have failed miserably at attempted versions. But, hats off to BPM who played it pretty straight and nailed it for this morning’s Like A Version.

CLYPSO – ‘STORM’

Fresh off the back of some huge collabs, namely with The Avalanches and Kwame, Sydney electro queen CLYPSO returns with a track that reminds us why her unmistakable vocal is in such red hot demand at the moment. Dropping some sugary melodies over tropical beats, the track feels like it was made for a sweaty beachside dance party. Raise your Pina Coladas and get amongst it:

Yb. – ‘Waiting’

Put this one from Brisbane artist Yb. on and try not to move your body – it’s impossible. Bringing together a loungey groove with a huge delay-soaked chorus, there’s an inescapable slacker energy (if that’s a thing) behind this track that is straight-up infectious. There are some ‘90s tropes in there as well which give the track an unpretentious vintage glimmer that sticks with you listen after listen.
