Hard Heavy

Running from March through May, the JOLT Autumn Season spans everything from avant garde noise to classical Indian tabla, acousmatic opera to stand-up comedy; all threaded through JOLT’s commitment to neurodiverse artists and pushing sound into unexpected territory.

Anchored at JOLTED Arts Space in Northcote (342 High Street), the season also spreads across The Substation, Northcote Social Club, Brunswick Music Festival and beyond.

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Hybrid, the stunning new album from Queen of Soul Kylie Auldist.

As one of Australia’s most unmistakable soul voices, Auldist has built a career on warmth, honesty and groove - and Hybrid finds her at the height of her creative powers. The songs slip effortlessly between soul, modern R&B textures and ‘80s funk, but at the heart of it all, the album is held together by the power and presence of Auldist’s voice.
