Denitia & Sene – “Side FX” (single)

Keeping in an 80’s vein, this duo return with a super-catchy, sexy throb of a song, making me excited to hear more from their forthcoming EP.

Bonus: Download here!

Simple Minds – “Big Music” (Caroline)

This legendary 80s band’s “Sparkle in the Rain” album is one of my top 10 all-time favorites, so I was eager to hear their new one, which has received great reviews.

And lo & behold, it is a welcome return to form!

Twerps – “Back to You” (Merge)

The Australian invasion continues with this Melbourne-based quartet who pay tribute to the classic indie sound of the 80s & 90s.

Their sophomore album, “Range Anxiety“, arrives in the new year.
