Our feature album this week here on 2ser is the stellar debut album from the South Coast group, The Morning Star. Their album Songs of the Morning Star is an excellent alt-folk LP that combines plain and direct storytelling with experimental deviations in sound and arrangement, never entirely breaking out of a beautiful and dreamlike haze. This one is a must for fans of Workhorse, Babitha and Alannah Russack’s Entropy Band. 

Another fresh release this week is the third studio album from the London trio, Daughter. Their latest album, Stereo Mind Game is a homage to indie rock thick with melodic textures and emotive content, rousing drums and chiming guitar riffs. 

Racking up their ninth album, Vancouver-based six-piece, The New Pornographers released their newest album Continue as a Guest. Full of guest appearances, the album is slow and steady, with frequent anthemic moments that confront the covid-era sense of disconnection and the feeling of being out of place in culture and society.

Deuce dropped their newest single, Rabbit Hole. As usual, this is a beautiful track from this Melbourne group that is full of synth and meaningful lyrics. The lyrics were penned in 2021 during the anti-lockdown protest madness in Melbourne.

There were also new singles from Mega Fauna with Desire Lines and The Allergies with Stanky Funk.
