Song of the Day #781: Summer Flake
Photo by Anita Shao Something from the open browser tab collection that I’ve been meaning to post up for a while. Summer in Brisbane is the worst. The heat, the humidity, where any small task not done in air con leaves you in need of a small sit down, a shower and a change of […]
Song of the Day #780: Baby Cool
We gave Brisbane’s Nice Biscuit a very overdue Song Of The Day last year. Today’s song is from Baby Cool, a side project by Nice Biscuit’s co-front woman Grace Cuell. With its prominent pedal steel, quiet drums and ethereal and slightly haunting vocals, Daydream, reminds me of the Cowboy Junkies but there’s also a brightness […]

Song of the Day #778: Sleep Token
There’s something so seductive about Sleep Token. A group of masked, anonymous musicians a lead singer called “Vessel”. The intrigue is enhanced by their lack of interviews – one back in 2017 is all I could find. A band “united in their worship of an ancient deity identified by them as “Sleep”, who appeared to […]
Song of the Day #777: Sleaford Mods
New Year and everything and there I am trying to decide on the first Song Of The Day for 2023. Something optmistic and uplifting? Positive vibes to start the year in anticipation of better times? But then the new Sleaford Mods song arrived in my inbox along with the Cold War Steve video and it […]
