Rowena Wise - Senseless Acts of Beauty

Mon 3 Jun 2024 to Sun 9 Jun 2024
Feature Sounds

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Senseless Acts of Beauty, the highly anticipated debut album by Rowena Wise.

The Naarm/Melbourne based artist is known for creating music ruminating on love, alienation, and self-empowerment. A new zenith, Rowena's songs are full of emotional depth, and by allowing a searing honesty to run throughout, she’s being true to herself and the listener, holding space for all of life’s wonder and mess. Over the album’s 10 tracks, she offers heady ruminations on love, loss, and alienation yet counters them with warmth, courage, and empowerment.

Mdou Moctar - Funeral For Justice

Mon 6 May 2024 to Sun 12 May 2024
Feature Sounds

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Funeral For Justice, the new album by Mdou Moctar.

Recorded at the close of two years spent touring the globe following the release of 2019 breakout Afrique Victime, Funeral For Justice captures the Nigerien quartet in ferocious form. The music is louder, faster, and more wild. The guitar solos are feedback-scorched and the lyrics are passionately political. Nothing is held back or toned down.
