LivewireAU Six Pack: For Your Hidden Feelings

boyfriend – 2charm☆

Debuting with a certified future club classic, 2charm☆ have slid into our airwaves boldly with the addictive ‘boyfriend’. Produced by Ninajirachi, this single is the first taste of a promising project, bringing their sonic style of “indie house techno dubstep baile gooner pop” to the masses. Listening to ‘boyfriend’ comes with the side effects of looking hot, becoming the coolest person you know, and a persistent urge to break out the TikTok dance at any given occasion.

Falling of the Vigour – Great Job!

Great Job! dive into the emptiness of a good life with their new release, ‘Falling Of The Vigour’, from their upcoming album, Love and Feel Loved. Described as one of their “heaviest and screamiest” releases, the emo-revival quartet bring lyrical personification to the emotions plaguing them, turning feelings into characters that can be fully resented. This release sees Great Job! wander into territory that audiences may not have expected, with a level of richness and sonic depth that cements ‘Falling Of The Vigour’ as a song to stay in your regular rotation.

Baby, I’m A Winner – G Flip

G Flip has just released their third studio album Dream Ride, gifting us with a slice of 80's nostalgia, queer joy, and a cheeky sax here and there. My personal top pick from this album is 'Baby, I'm A Winner', a melancholic tale that dives into the weakness of putting others before yourself. This track showcases G Flip's brutally honest lyricism amongst a big movie scene style sonic background, with a throwback synth and chorus that you'll yearn to sing along to!

Payphone Man – The Slingers

'Payphone Man' is a commentary on the tumultuous modern world and raging news cycles, on how easy it is to get swept up in what is happening around you and lose sense of what is important. A song to accompany you through the roller-coaster of life, The Slingers will masterfully extract your deep yearning for authentic human interactions and presence through their rich lyrical storytelling.

Feel Good – Bumpy

Proud Noongar woman Bumpy is serving up a slice of neo-soul bliss with her funky new release, 'Feel Good'. Boasting a sonic atmosphere best comparable to a good glass of wine with a friend amidst a sparkling sunset, 'Feel Good' is an embrace of the world around you that lives up to it's title. A taste of Bumpy's long awaited debut album Kanana, this blissfully warm release is a rich listening experience that perfectly accompanies our introduction to the Spring season. 

Standing In Your Way – The Genevieves

The Genevieves reach a turning point of emotional clarity and immense depth in their latest release, 'Standing In Your Way'. The garage rock four-piece from Kaurna Land (Adelaide) dwell on the discovery that mere love is not always enough, and that the defeat of heartbreak and separation might be the best way forward from a relationship of being held back. This is a conceptually mature and weighted release, prominently showcasing the depth of The Genevieves.
