Building on a string of EP releases, Brisbane trio The Grates now release their second album Teeth Lost, Hearts Won. Following on from Triple J favorite Gravity Won't Get You High, this release has a definite 'polished' sound in contrast to past releases.

Winner of the 2005 International Songwriting competition in New York, Australia's own Gin Wigmore releases her debut EP, Extended Play. You'll be drawn in by both the lyrical content and unique-sounding voice. 

Sneaky Sound System took to the stage to a roaring reception at Melbourne's Queensbridge Hotel in the middle of their '2 Tour'.  Band members MC Double D, Black Angus and lead vocalist Connie had reason to celebrate, with their second album 2 entering the ARIA charts at #1 this week.

These chill out compilations are usually a bit of a snoozefest - packed to the rafters with 12-minute instrumental Morcheeba remixes and the like. Thankfully, for Winter Chill, the focus is kept on great songs by quality bands like Massive Attack and Radiohead.

Sydney husband and wife duo Lovers Electric sit alongside Goldfrapp and Dragonette on the moody electropop scale. Still, the pair know are unafraid to embrace pure pop: they've enlisted Eliot Kennedy, the UK music boffin behind hits for the Spice Girls and Five, to produce Whatever You Want.

Fans of Nouvelle Vague will appreciate this latest offering from producer Marc Collin. Hollywood, Mon Amour boasts re-interpretations of 15 movie theme songs from the eighties.

Unapologetically naming themselves after a PJ Harvey album, electropop duo Uh Huh Her have set the bar high. Pairing up with Camila Grey (Mellowdrone), Leisha Hailey (Alice from The L Word) marks a departure from her pop-punk inspired Murmurs days, moving into feel-good 80's synth pop.

Gays with an appreciation for eye candy soul, rejoice: after a three-year break, Will Young is back. It would appear that iduring his time off, Will's been patronising Advanced Hair, because gone are the scalp-hiding hats of old, replaced with a thick, full hairline.

Sneaky's previous singles were fantastic, radio-ready concoctions, but the accompanying debut album was disappointing - the whiteboy rapping of MC Double D took up too much space, and made the band sound like a 21st century Real McCoy.
