Australian artist
Jarryd James is on a mission.
Atmospheric R&B songwriting placed within an electronic landscape, his work is suggestive and uniquely potent, matching a commitment to sound design alongside taut, and personal lyricism.
His new album P.M. is out now, and it is making waves in his native Australia and right here in the UK, a potent song cycle that covers loss, recovery, and renewal.
Album cut Don t Forget brings together the multi-faceted strands of his artistry, and it locates Jarryd James operating in an electronic sphere.
The song finds Jarryd working alongside Andrew Wyatt, a pop auteur who has sculpted colossal hits alongside his role in Swedish group Miike Snow.

Subscriber only After chart-topping, award-winning and genre-defying Australian artist Illy recorded his single Cheap Seats with hard rock band Waax in March, his new record The Space Between was done. As anyone who has seen this hip hop pop star on stage can attest, Illy s live performance seals the deal when introducing new music to his fans. So when the pandemic shutdown scuttled those plans, the album s release in May was put on hold. Like many artists around the world who suffered the same predicament, Illy is kicking off 2021 with a new release bang. January used to be a new music wasteland; now it s chockers with fresh tunes.

Four Deaths Mar Three Summer Festivals Down Under
Four deaths marred the return of three summer festivals Down Under. Two were at Rhythm and Vines in Gisborne, New Zealand, which drew a daily 30,000 Dec. 28-31.
Audio engineer David Peterson from Wavefront Audio, who was working at the festival, died of suspected heart failure.
Wavefront manager Milo Kerrigan explained, “Dave had injured his arm two days before, requiring a few stitches, and was on light duties as the system tech for the three stages we look after at R&V – typically, being the hard ass roadie that he was, he was back after a couple of hours patched up and soldiering on.” After set-up, Peterson had a nap in a van. When a crew member tried to wake him up, he was unresponsive.
