This week's hottest new sounds...
FENNE LILY
Hypochondriac (Dead Oceans)
Fenne Lily became an indie streaming smash in the wake of her 2018 debut, and now has a new deal with Dead Oceans. This is a delightful taste of what’s next.

AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS
Control (Live At The Croxton) (Rough Trade)
Recorded live at their favourite Melbourne bar, this new offering from the Sniffers illustrates that their punk juggernaut will roll on through 2020. Long may they rip.

DUKE DUMONT
Love Song (Virgin EMI)
Duke Dumont makes us wait a full minute for the drop on Love Song, and that’s just one of several nice touches on his latest floorfiller. A new album beckons.

BEAM
Unda Armor (Columbia)
The genre-hopping rapper builds on the success of last year’s 95 EP with a video for Unda Armor, a dark-hued rumination on leaving the streets behind.
