Little Desert are a savage force of pulsating psych, afire with hard rock brilliance, doused in post punk cool. Featuring the scorching keyboard of Roman Tucker (Rocket Science) and a voice that will tear you apart (Esther Rivers), Little Desert have a sound that is hard to pin down. Check them out if you love Patti Smith, Catherine Ribeiro, Shocking Blue, Blues Pills, Black Mountain or The Black Angels.

Hot on the heels of their ecstatically celebrated and AMP long-listed, SOLD OUT debut record, Melbourne duo Time For Dreams are back with a shiny new 7" single. Recorded and mixed in an impulsive 2 day session with John Lee (Phaedra Studios) in the cosmic surrounds of Coburg late last year. Moody and hypnotic as always, You've Got a Friend is a glorious addition to the Time For Dreams song cycle backed by a transported version of The Smiths classic track Death of a Disco Dancer. You've Got a Friend (named as a homage to Carole King) was written during a time of depression, loneliness and general disillusionment with the human race. A tiny tale of kindness and friendship in a world of violence and apathy. Imagine getting into a fight on the way home from the pub and being rescued by a sinister hermit. You can't decide if they are a saint or a serial killer. Death of a Disco Dancer seemed a thematically appropriate b side.- Amanda Roff

It’s been 10 years since their last album and they’re back from outer-space: tougher, wilder and sharper than ever. Snake sees Rocket Science at the height of their powers, charged with a cosmic energy born of a unique alignment between four exceptional musicians. A collaborative work, recorded by the band’s guitarist Paul Maybury. Mixing improvised moments with post-punk, garage, space rock and dark imagery. The songs reflect a decaying post-postmodern world, that is both self-destructive and in denial. With themes ranging from disillusion, disgust, fear and betrayal; to drugs, disability, gender and existential panic, Snake is a record in and of its time, railing against the system like all good rock’n’roll should.
