LivewireAU Six Pack: Aussie Releases Defining a Generation

Business Man - Alex The Astronaut

Australia's favourite astronomical friend is back with an absolute gem in 'Business Man'. Showcasing their staple lyrical charm whilst calling out the capitalist focused industry and those who spend their days playing the game, Alex The Astronaut's new single is a callback to ever-present themes throughout their discography and a sentiment shared by many in this day and age. Inspired by country and western music, this toe-tapping tune is sure to worm its way into your brain and echo like a siren whenever a titular business man makes your acquaintance.

Liar - TIAHN

If the devil on your shoulder was adorned in glitter and actually the brightest burst of energy you've ever met, it'd be TIAHN. With an electrifyingly confident punch, TIAHN stands her ground on 'Liar', a jazzy and ever-principled standout from her debut EP LiFe iS wEiRd. Combining the energy of a slightly inebriated PSA from your smartest friend with a strut down the hallway when you *mean business*, TIAHN calls out the dodgy titular liar in this jazzy and anthemic track.

7500 Miles - Oliver Cronin

Long-distance woes are a songwriter's best friend, and Oliver Cronin has turned that yearning into an absolute pop banger with his new single, '7500 Miles'. With a energetic chorus channeling a high volume sing-along, '7500 Miles' is the new anthem for anyone constantly checking what the weather is like in another time-zone. Cronin is continuing to fly higher and higher on his popstar trajectory with the his freshly announced EP, Lost On The Way To Paradise, for release on Friday the 17th of June.

Sunburnt - Lottie McLeod

Lottie McLeod gives voice to the inner yearner inside of everyone, constructing a home for the daydreamers out of her lyricism on her new release 'Sunburnt'. Projecting the fictitious future with the idea of a lover onto a casual fling, McLeod romanticises any glimpse of obsession with a charming "do do do do" whilst she yearns for the unpleasant domesticities of peeling off another's dead skin. McLeod's discography continues to shape the contemporary soundscape of Australian suburbia with the forthcoming release of her sophomore EP, The Boat House, for release on the 25th of September.

The Story - Billy Vincent

Australian country music has become one of our strongest national music identities in the 2020s, and it's no surprise why when you hear artists like Billy Vincent. The North Queensland born artist is turning heads across the globe with the release of his new single 'The Story', showcasing rich lyrical storytelling that demonstrates his potential as one of our next big names. Garnering praise from industry icons including Luke Combs, the 22-year-old singer songwriter is one to be keeping an ear out for!

When I Get Better - Amber Farnan

Amber Farnan masters the art of introspection on her poignant reflection on a spoilt youth with her new release, 'When I Get Better'. Addressing her journey through adolescence with chronic illness, Farnan captures the all-too relatable feeling of watching the world pass you by and the realisation that time won't stop for anything. With a balance of her haunting delivery and striking perspective, Amber Farnan's 'When I Get Better' is both letter to her younger self and a commentary on the illusion of waiting for change.
