Together with American Songwriter, we had the pleasure of interviewing Dreamer Boy over Zoom video! Capping off a year earmarked by critical acclaim and millions of streams, Dreamer Boy doles out more sonic bliss on his new single “Don’t Be A Fool,” out now via slowplay/Caroline: LISTEN HERE.Official Lyric VideoOn the track, a steady lo-fi beat slips into ethereal pedal steel guitar as his delicate timbre takes hold. It bridges the gap between bedroom pop heart and Nashville tradition. Stay tuned for the music video due out later this month.Regarding the single, Dreamer Boy a.k.a. Zach Taylor commented, “When I wrote this song, I was in love with someone who had no idea of my feelings. I was growing more and more frustrated with myself for my lack of initiative. I needed gumption. I needed to look at myself say, ‘You’ve got this!’ This song is sort of a conversation and an encouragement to anyone who has ever been in the same place. If you love someone, let them know. You never really know how much time you have with someone you love, and I think your love deserves to be free. We were really inspired by the likes of Neil Young, John Prine, Fleetwood Mac, and, more recently, our queen Kacey Musgraves. We were really into the idea of exploring more of the Nashville statement and adding our own twist. ‘Don’t Be a Fool’ is embracing the Nashville sound, and hopefully turning it into something for the newer generation.”It arrives on the heels of “Crybaby.” After making its global debut as part of Apple Music 1 World First Premiere with Zane Lowe, it has already generated over one million streams and counting. In addition to plugs from coup de main and more, DIY Mag claimed the song “oozes cool with its R&B tinged lo-fi pop leanings,” and Purple Sneakers wrote, “this bop feels gentle and relaxing with glimmering guitars and psych-infused elements.”Dreamer Boy has been building his following organically, hitting the road with the likes of Clairo, Omar Apollo, The Marias, Still Woozy, and more since introducing his “cowboy pop” in 2018. PAPER Magazine wrote that “Know You” is “a track with mesmerizing synths and an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia that will have you chasing after the feeling of not knowing someone, but wanting to.”Dreamer Boy’s independent breakthrough, Love, Nostalgia, drew acclaim from Milk.xyz, Elevator Magazine, and OnesToWatch, who called it a “multi-dimensional narrative of summer romance and teenage dreams. A wavy time capsule that transports you from ’90s MC-808s to the woozy dream pop of 2019.” The album’s follow-up single, “Puppy Dog,” received praise from The FADER, and had Clash comparing its “blissful naivety” to Rex Orange County and its “choppy guitar” to Prince. The track has amassed 9.9 million streams and counting.Stay tuned for more to come from Dreamer Boy.We want to hear from you!

AVAXA has put together a vibrant mix, reflective of the turbulent Australian summertime where she currently resides. Faced with a confit of raging bushfires across New South Wales, and severe storms and flooding in Queensland, she finds a some serenity in the realm and togetherness that follows after people are called to action. Come with her as she ventures through the expansive outback to the dark mountainsides. It is rich, airy and melodie, but beauty can be dark and volatile. This mix is a fresh and light take for AVAXA, who never fails to bring alluring bass, dark rhythms and buttery melodies. After years of playing in countless clubs, festivals and forests, she has elevated a true appreciation for how electronic music can be enriched by well-plaeed resources and atmosphere ambiance. AVAXA has this ever-evolving vision that is truly eapcacing. Purple Sneakers described AVAXA as “one of those enigmas artists that imbues meaning to every detail as to create a mythology around their music”. Fixed in the search for the modern sound, AVAXA is ever looking forward to see how the aural sphere can be reinvented.

Back when the colour spectrum of Australian music held the likes of Purple Sneakers and Yves Klein Blue, Philadelphia Grand Jury - aka the Philly Jays - reigned supreme as one of the most exciting and energetic bands on the scene. It all imploded some years back, but serendipity and happenstance eventually drew the classic line-up of Simon "Berkfinger" Berckelman, Joel "MC Bad Genius" Beeson and Dan "Dan W. Sweat" Williams back together. Though the nostalgia was fun, it's now shifted back into the band being active again - their second album, Summer of Doom, arrived in 2015; and a third is on its way. Before taking on a sold-out crowd at Sydney's Brighton Up Bar, all three members of the Jury rallied together to detail their birth, death and resurrection. This may also be the first (and only) time that the township of Sussex Inlet is mentioned in the history of podcasting. Support for All My Friends Are in Bar Bands comes from Spit the Dummy Records.
