The stalwart Los Angeles-based dream metal band, Iress will release their new album ‘Sleep Now, In Reverse' on 26th July 2024 via Church Road Records (ROW) and Dune Altar (USA). Iress' music is the sonic equivalent of standing on a beach as a tidal wave approaches — aware of certain devastation, yet transfixed and grateful to witness something so terrifyingly beautiful. Drawing inspiration from dark, yet commanding elements including metal, shoegaze, and slowcore, their music presents a cinematic crescendo that swells with intensity and wanes with sorrow. Iress formed in the musical crucible of Los Angeles in 2010. Frontwoman Michelle Malley, dubbed “the Adele of Doom” by LA music peers, possesses vocals that range from an enveloping smokey warmth to anguished belting, revealing an emotional depth that arrests with unbelievable restraint and control. The band, composed of bassist Michael Maldonado, drummer Glenn Chu, and guitarist Graham Walker, have fostered a chemistry that translates seamlessly to the stage. Their live performances are intentional and dynamic, leaving audiences stunned to silence, moved to tears, and immersed in a satisfying amount of crushing distortion. Over the years Iress has evolved, always exploring new dimensions in their sound, yet always showcasing Malley's equally fragile and ferocious vocals. Their intentionality in crafting concise songs, each flickering into existence with magnificent intensity, aligns with nuanced storytelling. Iress seamlessly weaves layers of crushing guitars, atmospheric textures, and brooding rhythms, creating a sonic tapestry that blends darkness and beauty. With their upcoming LP, Sleep Now, In Reverse, and an international touring schedule in 2024, Iress invites listeners to be transported to a realm where darkness and beauty intertwine. We spoke to vocalist Michelle Malley about the new album, what it has taken to get to this point, and what made this specific album so special for the band. We also delve into their upcoming live performances, and Michelle takes on the Ozzy Osbone randomised section.

Wall Street closed mixed on Tuesday amid investor concerns over rising bond yields, sentiment wavering ahead of a key speech later this week from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and on key banking downgrades out of S&P Global. Several regional banks including KeyCorp and Comerica fell 4% on Tuesday after S&P Global cut credit ratings on several banks citing ‘tough operating conditions' as the reason for the downgrade. The S&P500 fell 0.3% on Tuesday while the Dow Jones lost 0.5% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq posted a small gain at the closing bell.Rising bond yields are placing pressure and adding further downside to equities in the US, with cash and short-dated bonds yielding 5% plus, thus attracting investors to the returns received from bonds over equities at these current levels.And in Europe, markets closed higher across the region on Tuesday as a rise in technology stocks boosted gains across the board. French game maker Ubisoft Entertainment rose 9% after Microsoft said it would divest several gaming rights to the company as part of a new deal submitted to UK regulators for its takeover of Activision Blizzard, according to CNBC. Investors are also monitoring European natural gas prices which saw a sharp rise earlier this week amid threat of strike action in Australia which could disrupt 10% of the world's LNG flows.

China's sluggish recovery continues to go from bad to worse with weak retail sales and manufacturing output data providing further indication that the world's second largest economy is struggling to regain momentum post pandemic. With no material stimulus to support recovery coming out of the Chinese government yet aside from some slight interest rate cuts and hub-support, the economy is looking to continue its deflation journey over months to come.Heavy losses among consumer staples and information technology stocks on Tuesday were offset by strength in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors. IRESS tanked 36% while Premier Investments and Breville led the gains, adding 12% and 9% respectively.What to watch today:Ahead of the local trading session here in Australia, the SPI futures are expecting the ASX to open the midweek session down 0.24%.On the commodities front this morning, oil is trading 0.38% lower at US$79.80/barrel, gold is up 0.18% at US$1897/ounce and iron ore is up almost half a percent at US$109/tonne.AU$1.00 is buying US$0.64, 93.68 Japanese Yen, 50.04 British Pence and NZ$1.08Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has increased the price target on Mader Group (ASX:MAD) from $6.10 to $6.90 and maintain a hold rating on the leading provider of specialised contract labour for maintenance of heavy mobile equipment in the resources and civil industries, following the release of the company's FY23 results including revenue up 51% YoY to $608.8m, EBITDA up 57% to $75.1m and underlying NPAT up 48% YoY to $38.5m. Mader Group also expects FY24 revenue of at least $770m and NPAT of at least $50m implying material growth in the new financial year.And Trading Central has identified a bullish signal on Terracom (ASX:TER) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 45-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may rise from the close of $0.48 to the range of $0.55 to $0.57 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

Wall St closed mixed on Wednesday following the release of the Federal Reserve's latest meeting minutes from earlier this month. The minutes outlined most Federal Reserve policymakers were in favour of slowing the pace of rate hikes in a bid to assess the economy's progress, however policymakers also agreed unanimously that ongoing increases in the nation's cash rate would be appropriate. This caused a mixed reaction across Wall St, and enhances fears of a global recession as the cost of living continues to rise.The Dow Jones ended the midweek session down 0.26% and the S&P500 lost 0.16%, but the Nasdaq rose 0.13%.Earlier on Wednesday, European stocks closed lower again on Thursday as investors awaited the release of the US Fed's meeting minutes to gauge insight into whether the Fed will remain hawkish on its stance to tackle inflation. Investors in the region also sold out of markets across Europe also on the back of downbeat earnings reports including British bank Lloyds reporting flat profit growth on the prior year. The STOXX600 fell 0.3%, Germany's DAX closed flat, the French CAC fell 0.13% and, in the UK, the FTSE100 shed 0.59%.Taking a look at commodities, iron ore is again the only key commodity trading higher this morning, up 2.31% at US$133/tonne, while oil is down 3.4% at US$73.76/barrel and gold is down almost half a percent at US$1825/ounce.What to watch today:Ahead of the local trading session, the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX to open 0.3% lower, extending on yesterday's losses and on the back of the continued global sell-off overnight.Australian wages and construction data out yesterday add further support for the RBA to continue its steady rate hike path as opposed to considering any 50-bps hikes in future. Wages growth in Q4 showed growth of just 0.8% for the quarter, which was lower than expectations of 1%, while construction work done in the fourth quarter fell by 0.4% which was well below consensus expectations of a 1.5% increase.Stocks trading ex-dividend today include Codan (ASX:CDA), Whitehaven Coal (ASX:WHC), IRESS (ASX:IRE) and JB Hi-Fi Group (ASX:JBH). If you've been thinking about these stocks, it might be worth considering buying in today as stocks trading ex-dividend generally trade lower on the ex-dividend date.Trading Ideas: Bell Potter has downgraded its price target on Clean Seas Seafood (ASX:CSS) from $0.85 to $0.75 cents per share, but maintain a speculative buy rating on the company following the release of the company's first half results which were weaker than expected including revenue down 22% YoY and higher feed costs, up 20% YoY. Production costs are also likely to run above previous targets for the near term however for the most part are mitigated by higher average selling prices.Trading Central has identified a bullish signal on Xtek (ASX:XTE) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 21-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may rise from 73 cents to the range of 83 cents to 85 cents according to standard principles of technical analysis.

A rare down day for the local market, at least in recent times. The S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.21%, closing trade at 7112.8. The performance mirrored that of Wall Street and most of the Asian region. Blackmores needed an urgent dose of vitamin C, tumbling 10.4% following the release of its full-year results. Codan, Evolution Mining, Origin Energy and ASX also suffered earnings-related prangs, slumping between 4% to 10.1%. There were some big winners, however. IPH Limited soared 15.5% after its full-year results, taking out top gong for the session. It was closely followed by NRW Holdings, Treasury Wine Estates and IRESS which rose 5.8%, 4.1% and 2.2% respectively. On the macro level, there was little reaction to a mixed Australia's jobs report, reflecting that the underlying backdrop remain much the same: conditions are tight and wage pressures are building. The market is fully priced for a 40-pointer from the RBA in September.

Another listless day on the market as investors opt to stay out of the fray ahead of major corporate and economic events domestically and abroad. The ASX200 closed 0.26% higher, with a jump in energy and materials stocks the main drivers behind the gains. The iron ore majors have stabilised as the price of the commodity rights itself. Reports that Russian gas giant Gazprom is cutting exports to Europe boosted gas and oil prices last night and supported the energy players in our market. Consumer discretionary lagged. That could be due to Walmart's weak earnings last night flowing into sentiment towards Australian consumer stocks. As far as the movers and shakers go - Zip shares flew above $1 per share, now doubling its value from the lows seen a month ago. On the flip side of the market - Iress shares lopped off around 5.5% after a trading update and news of its CEO departure. Market action kicks up a gear now and tomorrow could be a much busier day for the ASX following tonight's US earnings releases. McDonalds and Coca Cola drop results pre-market.

About the book Are you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed?Do you feel like you have no time for yourself?Are you wondering how to regain your energy and find joy? Being a leader today is hard. We are pulled in so many directions, with big responsibilities and many livelihoods reliant on us. It may be surprising to learn that our first responsibility is to care for ourselves. To make choices that are right for us, instead of what is right for others. With blurred boundaries between work and life, it can be difficult to find time for this. We've glorified being busy to become over-scheduled and over-committed and feel guilty about taking time for ourselves. Fully Connected is for leaders who want to take back ownership of their lives and reclaim their health and energy. On their terms. When you figure out what lights you up and how to say no to what doesn't bring you joy, you become a better leader as you energise your co-workers, communicate with conviction and create a culture of belonging. In these pages Mel Kettle shares practical, simple and actionable ideas for you to increase your self-awareness, understand what motivates you and prioritise self-care so you can become a fully connected leader. Source: https://www.melkettle.com/store/p/fullyconnectedbook   About the author Mel is a trusted mentor to executives and leaders and a highly sought-after speaker and trainer. Her clients include leaders, teams and organisations that want to achieve real connection and sustained engagement. At the heart of everything Mel does is a commitment to self-leadership. She has an over-arching belief that we need to lead ourselves first before we can lead others. This view came after she survived the debilitating effects of work-related loneliness, stress and burnout in her late 20s, and was reinforced when she had a life-threatening melanoma in her early-40s. Mel also brings the unique educational combination of a Master of Business (Marketing) and a Master of Public Health, making her a valuable asset to clients including IRESS, Toll, Queensland Country Bank, ANZ, the Local Government Association of Qld, Pharmacy Guild of Australia, IHC New Zealand, Arup and numerous universities and government agencies.  Mel's sub-speciality is helping women and organisations better understand the impact of menopause in the workplace. She is the founder of the award-winning menopause blog, Just as Juicy (www.justasjuicy.com). She has been a frequent podcast and radio guest talking about her experience and how organisations can better support menopausal women at work. In January 2022 Mel was recognised by leadersHum as one of the Top 200 Biggest Voices in Leadership for 2022, one of only seven Australians on the list. Mel is the host of podcast This Connected Life and the author of two books: The Social Association, published in 2018; and Fully Connected, due out in June 2022. In her spare time, Mel loves to cook, go to the beach, dance around the house and read crime thrillers. Source: https://www.melkettle.com/about Big idea #1 - Connect  The first section of the book is about connecting with yourself, but you need more than that to thrive.   If you're struggling, talk to a trusted friend, a colleague, or a doctor to help make some plans to change and regain control. To connect with yourself you need to get back control so that you feel like you have some level of agency about what is happening to you and around you.  To know when something isn't right, you need to be connected with yourself first to know what those signs of physical, emotional, and mental stress might be.  Ultimately if we don't start with leading and connecting with ourselves, it's going to be very hard to lead others.   Connecting with yourself is a leadership capability. It allows you to bring more energy to others rather than being an energy vampire to your team.   Big idea #2 - Prioritise Another big section of the book is about becoming more self-aware, self-motivated and prioritising self-care, which are the three elements of prioritising yourself.   Becoming self-aware is being present with your feelings, your fears, your wants, your needs, your values, your strengths, and your weaknesses. It's thinking about what it is that makes you tick and knowing when those things are out of whack and when to do something about them.   Self-motivation isn't just forcing yourself to do all the things you should do (it's not all about the green smoothies and 5am runs on the beach). It is about creating your own luck, and when you create your luck, you're taking responsibility for what you spend your time and energy on. Self-care is more than just an occasional spa day (although these are also good), it's about looking after ourselves every single day and looking after all aspects of our health every day. Rather than waiting till there's a problem or waiting for that one big holiday to rest. All of this will look different to everyone and you need to find ways to build your habits around that. Mel gives plenty of examples of different people and their ways of finding their version of self-awareness, self-motivation and self-care.   She also provides four very helpful foundation principles   being aware of your health and getting regular health checks etc.  getting the basics right. Eat, sleep, move, repeat.  creating clear boundaries and sticking to them.   doing something every day that brings you joy.   Big idea #3 - If not now, when? It feels kind of twee, but we do only get one go at this life.  If we're not building our habits, our resilience, our health, and generally being better connected to ourselves and with others we are going to find things much harder and much more stressful than they need to be. For leaders, this is essential and is the new expectation. We need to step up. To do that, you need to have a solid relationship with yourself in order to best role model and lead others.

The S&P/ASX200 closed nearly 1% lower at 7,051 - but it could have been much worse... As the local market sank by 2% through 7000 in the first hour of trade, last month's near all time high seemed a distant memory. But then beaten down growth stocks were bought including Xero, Iress, REA Group and Tyro. Pendal ended 9% higher after an earnings beat and upbeat outlook. US futures showed a glimmer of hope through the afternoon session, Chinese markets were positive and Bitcoin added 5%. Have we hit peak fear? That being said, only the telco sector was spared from selling, with energy and materials jostling for the wooden spoon.Out top three VODs:Straw hat stock picks for dreary market conditionsRules for when small cap growth tanksWhere to park your money in a global sell-off See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It was a case of choose your poison as to why the market closed lower today: a poor US lead, surging bond yields, commodity price drops. There was a range of company news, not all good. Pendal rejected the Perpetual bid on the basis of not being in the interest of shareholders. Iress pulled the pin on divesting its UK mortgage book. Lynas reported record sales in its update, but after a stellar run closed down 2%. Three-year highs in bond yields is the writing on the wall for the “growth at all costs” tech model. However, the bottom of the ladder was for Imugene, down nearly 9%, followed by City Chic and Z1P to round out the bottom three. It's another big week for central banks with commodity-cousins Bank of Canada and the RBNZ poised to hike by 50 basis points tomorrow. Overall, the S&P/ASX200 closed down 31 points, or 7454.Our top three VODs:Monster megacaps will continue to "distort" US marketsStocks to shelter in when the going gets roughWhat stocks will drive the Aussie market to outperform?

The Aussie market is erasing a healthy chunk of Tuesday’s improvements, with the ASX 200 down more than  0.5 per cent at lunch. The equity market is being held back partly by profit taking from major mining stocks like BHP, Rio Tinto (RIO), Fortescue Metals (FMG) and gold producers, which all rose on Monday and Tuesday. A number of stocks trading ex-dividend are also weighing, including Telstra, Downer, AGL, Iress and Fletcher Building.   This report is approved and distributed in Australia by Commonwealth Securities Limited ABN 60 067 254 399, AFSL 238814 (CommSec) a wholly owned but non-guaranteed subsidiary of Commonwealth Bank of Australia ABN 48 123 123 124, AFSL 234945 (the Bank).

Barrie van Zyl is the Head of Account Management at Iress in South Africa.We discuss several aspects related to the adoption or implementation of technology in financial planning businesses, although these aspects will apply to any kind of business looking to adopt technology.We start off talking about the rate of advancement and adoption. Businesses struggle to choose the right technology and software and the process is very overwhelming. We discuss why this is the case and where business may be going wrong. I ask Barrie the question if financial planning businesses are really embracing technology?How does one go about selecting technology and/or software for your practice or business? Where is the best place to start? What must be considered?Businesses often struggle to reap the benefits of the technology they implement. Corporates go through a rigorous selection process and often a few years later they find themselves back at the same point going through the same process again selecting new solutions. Why is this?We get into the best approach/strategy a business should follow when adopting the technology. Barrie provides great advice in this regard.Iress recently announced the launch of a new hub to provide free technology-related information and support for the financial services industry as it adjusts to new ways of working. I ask Barrie:Why did Iress decide to create the support hub?What kind of support does this offer?Who can make use of the support services?You can access the Iress Support Hub at https://iress.com/coronavirus-support.Connect with Barrie on Linkedin.Connect with me on Linkedin.

Following the recent announcement that Iress has acquired O&M Systems, Mark is joined by its founder, Graham Miller, for a special edition of Loose Change.
