ALBUM REVIEW: Flying Microtonal Banana by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
By Nicola Roy (@circaslaves) Their long hair, laid-back demeanor, and psych-slacker rock sound may fool you at first, but King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard are undoubtedly one of the most hard-working bands in Australia.

TRACK REVIEW: Drugs by Charli XCX (feat. ABRA)
By Fraser McGovern (@FraserMcGovern) Singer/songwriter Charli XCX serves as living proof that sugary pop music doesn’t have to be total cack. Though their lyrics aren’t anything to write home about, singles from her 2014 LP Sucker boasted some of the catchiest hooks of that year in tracks like Boom Clap, Break the Rules, and my personal…

TRACK REVIEW: Love by Lana Del Rey
By Nicola Roy (@circaslaves) If anybody is likely to disappear for two years and re-appear with a new image, single and with zero promotion whatsoever (and have it be a success), it’s Lana Del Rey.
