Butternut Sweetheart is the music of two strangers who unwittingly and simultaneously moved into a ghost town. With little else to distract them, they bonded over their love for the piano and beautifully written indie music. After spending a decade each in service of the music of others as producers, writers, and session musicians, Luke and Jazz shift their collective focus and talents to Butternut Sweetheart.

Spawned in Sydney and now Melbourne based, the duo turn their eyes to their upcoming EP, 'I've Got My Problems, You've Got
Your Dreams’. Sitting at the intersection between alternative rock, electronica and an angular take on indie-pop, this new collection of music explores disconnection and the significance of communal existence in the modern world.

Bonniesongs, aka Irish-born, Australian-based multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Bonnie Stewart, announces her sophomore album ‘Strangest Feeling’ out on 25 July via Impressed Recordings.

With heavy thrums of detuned guitars entwined with layers of angelic airy vocals, the forthcoming new album Strangest Feeling shows Bonniesongs’ masterful ability to balance sound and silence, reminding us that music, at its core, is simple vibration moving through air. Bonniesongs makes music that is both mellow and hazy and driven and edgy, traversing art-folk, psychedelia, dream-pop and grunge. She could also be compared to art-rock and alternative artists such as PJ Harvey, Feist and Grouper for her music’s raw, hypnotic qualities, although Bonniesongs’ style sits more in a ‘ethereal grunge’ category of its own, one she’s been carving out since her 2019’s debut album Energetic Mind (Small Pond/Art As Catharsis). Once described by artist Fink, who championed Bonniesongs heavily on his KCRW radio show and toured Australia with her early this year as having “a deceptively hard edged soft-core.”

Wollongong-based musician Emily Duncan weaves a dreamy tapestry of ethereal vocals and introspective lyrics over stripped-back guitar. Her debut EP, 'Maybe I Needed Time’, sets the scene for a new, more mature musical direction for Emily: honest story-telling, without the frills, dealing with themes of personal growth, connection to the body and the sense that there's a kind of comfort in finding a stable home and community.
