Weekly5

We are thrilled to present an incredible selection of brand-new music today, featuring an all-female line-up of incredibly talented artists.

From irresistibly catchy hyperpop to exquisitely crafted songwriter artistry, the range of styles on display is dazzling. You won't want to miss a single note of these impressive tracks!

Angie McMahon – Saturn Returning

Melbourne-based Angie McMahon's music is a secret treasure chest of natural power and beauty. With her new single, Saturn Returns, she interlaces recordings of flowing water with piano, mighty organs, and thunderous guitars—all flowing into a mighty ocean of sound. Intimate and intimidating but always captivating.

In today's edition of Weekly5, you can discover new music hailing from Australia, lingering in Switzerland for quite a while, and then travelling across the pond to the United States. Tender and soothing sounds complement the rougher and heavier tunes.

Soft Loft – Safe Space

We have already introduced Soft Loft, Jorina Stamm's band project, with their debut single, Is It Me. On Friday, the band released their debut EP featuring the song Safe Space. This hauntingly beautiful hymn speaks to our innate desire for safety, certainty, and peace through Jorina Stamm's songwriting, which is, above all, honest and vulnerable.

This week, we have the opportunity to delve into the immersive world of cinematic sound and indulge in the electrifying experience of expansive psychedelic rock. As we keep spinning, we may find ourselves feeling a thrilling rush, yet ultimately leading us to a more vulnerable, introspective place.

Lola Marsh & Red Band – Feel It Still

In an unusual collaboration with the kind of fictional Red Band, Israeli duo Lola Marsh took Portugal. The Man's undyingly groovy Feel It Still and stepped on the breaks. The result is a slowly stomping, Western-styled cover song that sounds inherently Lola Marsh but also honours the original's vibe. And the duet of Yael Shoshana Cohen's unique voice and Ari Pfeffer, who voices the character of Red Ohrbach, is simply stunning.

You can look forward to today's carefully selected curation of new music. Weekly5 is all about breaking free from algorithm-picked more of the same and bringing you truly human-to-human recommendations.

My goal is to transport you to a world of music that is not just entertaining but also meaningful. A world that pushes the boundaries of what we perceive as «good music» and challenges us to expand our horizons.

Experience an exquisite range of innovative sounds that push the envelope, question the «rockstar image», and immerse you in thickly layered compositions.

Hak Baker – Doolally

What's the common thing in post-punk, brit pop, roots reggae, funk, and indie folk? The answer is Hak Baker. The East London artist's sonic innovation is vivacious, resulting in eclectic tracks like Doolally. Here, Baker embarks on a frantic, breathless, Mike Skinner-styled storytelling, mixing cockney dialect with Jamaican Patois, accompanied by an escalating composition of groovy funk guitars, howling brass, and nervous drums—perfectly rounding the notion of Doolally, slang for «out of one's mind», delving into the messy haze of East London's nightlife.
