  5. Psychic Lease
    by Leafy Suburbs
    Claps Claps
    I am floating on this. Heard it on the radio, adored its' weirdo kraut electronic vibes and then found out it's excellent Perth muso Lyndon Blue. Top quality ambient oddity here.
  6. Spirits
    by Hayley Beth
    Seagulls Seagulls
    One of Perth's most supurb hidden musical treasures. This is a hell of an album, full of dark, eloquently written and, appropriately for the title, haunted stuff.
  7. Saint Dymphnae [studio album]
    by Gata Negra
    Once Upon a Time Once Upon a Time
    This band! I was obsessed with this band for a good half decade! All of their records! Still one of the best acts ever to come out of my hometown Perth. All of the playing and writing is so perfect. That something this amazing could come from WA really inspired me.
  8. Octover
    by Octover
    Trois Trois
    I'm heading to Singapore in January, so I was looking up some local music to get me hyped up. I was pretty surprised when I tripped over this record - the production is gritty and angular without coming off abrasive and the vocalist kicks a ton of ass. One of the best records I've come across this year.
  9. Milky Waves
    by Voltaire Twins
    You are the end You are the end
    One of my favourite bands to play with back when they lived in Perth. You can hear echoes of M83 and New Order in what they do, but they bring a completely different sensibility to it. Anyway, this album is great and you should listen to it.
  10. Doctorshopping (2013)
    by Mathas
    Mathas' tracks always grab me pretty hard, but this one brings back very specific memories. I grabbed this copy when I covered it for the WAMis this year. It's one of the best tunes outta Perth ever.
  11. Casual
    by Catlips
    U1 U1
    This record creates a headspace unlike pretty much anything else in my collection. Wonky and tripped out but super-accessible.

    juvenile juvenile
    I'd been a big fan of .gif's entry in The Wknd Sessions, but this record takes their sound to a whole other level. There are echoes of Lamb and pre-showtunes Morcheeba in here, but also nods to contemporary RnB sounds. Very nice.
  13. Sweat LP
    by Hideous Sun Demon
    Moan for Jesus Moan for Jesus
    One of the best live acts in Perth at the moment. Unhinged, crazy shit. Exactly what the world needs.
  14. SEUL
    by Judah Warsky
    Seul Seul
    This EP comes on like a nightmare halloucination - all dark synths, Tom Waits-style claustrophobia and bad vibes. It's marvellous.
  15. Digerbodia
    by Diger Rokwell
    This guy is one of the most idiosyncratic producers I know, making an odd mix of world music and hip hop. In the 90's I woulda said this was trip hop but it goes in too many directions for that. Worth smashing your mind on.
  16. AERIALS EP
    by Midnight Juggernauts
    Cedoption Cedoption
    The last Midnight Juggernauts LP Uncanny Valley was really something; this EP is even better, taking the sounds of acid house and throwing them into new shapes. Some of their ideas remind me of stuff I was making at the same time for The Final Chase.
  17. Rare Books
    by HAMJAM
    Perth hipsters have been telling me about this band for months and I hate it when they are right but they are totally right, right?
  18. The Cat. Not Me. (2014 - 2019 Update)
    by Marianne Dissard
    Oiseau Oiseau
    I first saw Marianne Dissard playing an audiovisual alt-country solo spectacular to a tiny crowd at the Rosemount Hotel on a wednesday night. This lady tours HARD. But holy shit - her work is amazing. This album is even better than her previous, L'abandon, which was good enough to make me start learning French. The track Oiseau is amazing - the version on her Cologne Vier Takes is even better, sparer.
  19. Garage Sale Girl
    by The Painkillers
    Rapunzal Rapunzal
    So, obviously, I've done a cover of The Painkillers' Love Cancer. But Joe Bludge's entire discography needs your attention and love. This was the bands' last EP before they broke up. James Baker's drumming is amazing here as always. The arrangements are broadened out beyond their usual 2 piece sound and it lends some appropriately Beasts Of Bourbon-y swagger to their garage pop.
  20. Jacqueline (Clubfeet Remix)
    by Geoffrey O'Connor
    The original mix of this is one of the best Australian synthpop things. This version makes for good DJ'ing fodder though.
