Vince Charming on five decades of songwriting, ‘orphaned’ songs and starting again
Vince Charming on Man Out of Time, songwriting and finding his way back to the stage. There’s something pretty great about an artist reaching a point in their career where the catalogue is big enough to start digging through the forgotten corners. For Vince Charming, that meant revisiting six “orphaned” songs that had been sitting around for years, bringing in collaborators and turning them into Man Out of Time.

Zack Inglis’ Gold Park finds the story in the simple things
Zack Inglis – Gold Park review There’s something pretty refreshing about an album that doesn’t feel the need to throw everything at you. Across ten tracks, Zack Inglis’ Gold Park sits somewhere between indie rock, folk and a little inner punk, with the guitar, voice and songwriting doing most of the work. It’s easy to hear the Frank Turner influence here – we did say inner punk – because Inglis has that same knack for making an acoustic guitar feel like enough.

Lake Mammoth take Perth psych on a late-night detour with ‘Snake Canyon’
Psych rock, baby. Western Australia has been producing some seriously good psychedelic rock for decades, and Lake Mammoth clearly know their way around that particular haze. Following up their last single ‘Sink In’, ‘Snake Canyon’ finds the Boorloo/Wyalup outfit settling into a loose, instrumental groove that feels equal parts psych, funk and Western noir. It starts with a funky bassline, a shaker tucked into the rhythm and a guitar that seems to slowly drift into the room.
Dylan Cosgriff turns a difficult subject into a great song on ‘Don’t Scream’
‘Don’t Scream’ tackles the aftermath of sexual assault with gritty production, beautiful guitar and a deeply poignant vocal performance. Warning: this review discusses sexual assault. This is a tough subject on any day, and it’s admirable that Dylan Cosgriff has put this experience to song – not least to remind us that these things are still happening, but also to try to make sense of it all. ‘Don’t Scream’ starts off synthy and gritty, with effects that make the track feel slightly disorienting.
