I will say, this is better than anything Kevin Parker has put out since currents.

Been digging the soulful grooves of Yazmin Lacey's new album Voice Notes. Here's the glorious closer "Sea Glass". You're welcome.

Spoiler: show

Hometown Perth* Western Australia artist Carla Geneve has released a cracker album recently, Hertz. She's only 22 and sings here about personal experiences with bipolar amongst other issues. The album is just a really beautiful listen though, and the personal writing really comes through. Its generally chill and downtempo, but done well. I could see this young lass doing some pretty big things in the future.

I actually like every song on this wee beastie, but the lead single "Bills" is so good:



* she's actually from the smaller coastal country town Albany, but I'm sure none of you yobs care for the distinction.

Not often you see a music video with this level of vomit either. Sorry about that.

I played the wrong Carla Geneve track. This is the way.

I've spent the afternoon with the latest Bully album Lucky For You and I honestly can't decide how I feel about it. I think that means in the end it goes into my "Not Bad but Unremarkable" folder for 2023 releases.

I do like the single "Days Move Slow" with its slacker 90s vibe though.

I've listened to this album a few times and I think it's a grower. I've liked it more with every listen.

[Leatherhead]

Fuck! She's the best.

Yes she is.

I adore the new Bully record. It's in contention for album of the year, for me. Big fan. But I totally get why folks aren't connecting with it. Very different from her previous stuff.

I like many Dua Lipa singles but I don't think she's put out a truly great album yet. Future Nostalgia is very good but it takes a huge dip in the last two tracks for some reason

[Farmer John]

I don't think I've listened to a full album, but I could make a hell of a playlist of her songs.

I'm into the last two tracks. The closer especially -- big bop.

I'm talking about the standard version, which ends with "Good in Bed" and "Boys Will Be Boys," just in case you're talking about the Deluxe

I was not talking about the Deluxe version.

Boys Will Be Boys is a real bop!

But you were right to clarify. All these dang kids with all their dang deluxe and alternate versions and remixes! Aaaarggh!!!

[Farmer John]

"Good in Bed" is indeed a bad song.

Come on, John!
