How is it possible this beauty breaks you apart so much with so little? A strong melody, presence, and sentiment are among the sharpest tools in Tori's songwriting kit.

Excuse me while I just wipe away my tears and catch my breath. This is just one of those songs: a deeply honest expression from an artist willing to bare more than just gorgeous music.

Time to change the tagline, guys. Ain't nothing "offensively average" about this polished emo-punk gem. SoSo? More like SoSo good.

'I'm taking selfies with my Game Boy camera': It's going to be tough to find a 2020 lyric that hits with harder nostalgia than this. If Sufjan Stevens was an Aussie teen in the '90s, he'd maybe write something as great as this.

Talk about introductions! A gorgeous new voice ready to tell some deep stories, Maple Glider soars into earshot with a song that hovers in a rare venn diagram between Weyes Blood's vocal stunner-y and Julia Jacklin's thoughtful reflections on toxic romance.

This is Proper Punk: where the purposeful message and the no-nonsense ferocity are inexplicably linked.

Spring has sprung, the grass is riz, wondering where that early summer RnB warmth is? Right here. You could sunbake in the glow coming off'a that voice and slinky sounds.

Another emotional sonic fantasy that's intimate yet expansive, simultaneously capturing your ears and your heart.

One of those voices that stops you in your tracks, on a song that snags you with its increasingly stomping soul? Hey, it works for me!

Damn, POOKIE where'd you come from!? She sounds like she's rapping over drippy beats like this her whole damn life. Masterful first offering, hyped for a second.

Yikes. ROYBOY pulled another stunner out of the oven. It bumps hard but there's space in the mix meaning I really felt every element popping here. Crazy crafty.

Reckon this is gonna be the one that gets more ppl on the Crocodylus bandwagon. It's got that easy-to-pick-up guitar nod going on but then finds interesting places to go.

Agung does it again! The production, the flow, the delivery. And he's not trying to move with current trends. Doing his own thing and sounding hella good doing it.

Big, anthemic, super-confident stuff, and you can tell far they've come in a short amount of time.

Short.Fast.Loud brought me here. Whatta sick lil' ripper, getting a dose of Distillers and a bit of Hole from this, and was banging along to the chorus by the end of first spin.

Cool. Confident. Crushing It. And hey, if it's good enough for Arno Faraji, Sally and Woodhead. It's more than enough for me.

Ain't nothing wrong with the genes in this pair. Proof besties can make the best tunes.
Popping this one right next to Ruby Fields and Alex Lahey on the music mantelpiece.

A great step-up in sound and songwriting, it's as strong as your ability to render sentimental feelings.

Knock knock. Who's there? Oh just Sam, the charming new songsmith who's moved in next door with her housemates cowbell, whistling, and instantly likeable chorus.
On the scale of Sweet Neighbours, she's right up there with Totoro.

Exciting to see you take the solo reins - you don't need a collab to shine. Docked half-a-star because I wished it was longer.
