Second Front is a welcome respite from the ‘feel good’ vibes of boganhood in Australian hip hop, With every deliberated second begging to be played LOUD.

James Holden’s second full-length effort is one mind-bending experience worth committing to, even if it might leave you in a trance-like state staring into oblivion.

Run The Jewels is the result of the ultimate bro-ing down of two rap icons for whom race, age, time and money present no obstacle. Anthony Wallace sifts through the swagger on our album of the week…

There’s an honesty to Callinan you can’t help but admire. If you think his naked body says something, his unencumbered lyrics reveal a whole lot more: an all too real world full of unflattering realities and fears of death.

This album asks a lot of questions, but doesn’t provide many answers. It forces you to consider “What is art?” and “What is not art?” Reward yourself with a listen to the album, and I’m sure you’ll agree it is a work of art.

Having graduated as masters of intergalactic copulation, Midnight Juggernaut’s ‘Uncanny Valley’ is an album guaranteed to leave you satisfied.

“A short film by Kendrick Lamar”. These are the words printed on the front cover of Lamar’s second studio album – a musical journey so vivid it feels like you’re a fly on the wall, watching his tumultuous life unfold.

Alessandro Dallarmi dives head-first (and head-over-heels) into our album of the week – Flume’s self-titled debut – and tells us why it’s now possible to non-ironically fall in love with pop music.

From pan flutes, soul and jazz, to dark disco territory. From North American tribal celebrations through to vast western prairies via ancient Egypt. You’re in for a treat.

Alessandro takes us on a (very) visual journey of Flying Lotus’ (or FlyLo’s) new album describing emotive colours, brushstrokes, space travellers, dimming lights and vortexes.
