A heavenly example of the indiest, schmindiest, jangle-pop from the ~~Glasgow~~ Greenock sister act. Album forthcoming on Skep Wax and Slumberland.

A nice slice of jangly indie rock from this band from Melbourne, AU. I like their sound.

There seems to be no end to the pool of Japanese indie/alternative/punk/dreampop/shoegaze that the internet serves up to me. This trio are bass-less and rough and ready in a fun way.

 

The second song released as a teaser for their fourth album, Straight Line Was A Lie. Here is the video.

Also, today's article in The Guardian.

 

If you like Alvvays, as I do, then you might be into the sound of Sydney band, Bridge Dog. I'll be keeping an eye on their tour dates.

Here's a live performance of the lead track on the album, Counterweight.

The Bats - Lucky Day [2025] (thebats.bandcamp.com)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by Aesecakes@aussie.zone to c/alternativenation@lemmy.world
 

Jangly Kiwi veterans continue their 40+ year career with 2 tracks released from an October 2025 album, on the legendary Flying Nun records. They're are one of my all-time favourites.

Here is the video for the track released today, Lucky Day.

The other track, Loline was released with this video in April.

 

I've pretty much not listened to Wolf Alice at all until just recently. Having dipped my toe into the water now, there's a few songs of theirs I like, including this one. I'll keep exploring their catalogue.

It's Steve from Ride with guest Emma (ex-Lush) with something new. I like it.

Thanks for saying. The photos you’ve posted on your account are much better than mine, I must say. 😊

The non-chips could have been taken out of the fryer a little sooner. However they were all completely good.

If it’s the one near the San Remo bridge, I’ve been there and agree. However, the best fish and chips I’ve had was on the west coast of Scotland. Australia wins hands down with coffee, though.

If you want to disappear down a rabbit hole, search for “Goin’ Feral” on Youtube.

I could only do that section, unfortunately. It’s definitely on the list to go north and walk the Flinders Ranges part, though.

It’s the first part of a 1200km route called the Heysen Trail. Here’s the website.

 

I ate this meal at the end of 5 days of bushwalking AKA backpacking.

The chips and “butter fish” are accompanied by a wedge of lemon, some tartare sauce and a sprinkling of chicken salt. Also a deep fried dim sim, a calamari ring, and a battered scallop.

Including a drink (ginger beer?), it cost AUD$16.80.

Thanks! I enjoyed that.
