Wilson Tanner - Legends

Mon 5 May 2025 to Sun 11 May 2025
Feature Sounds

This week's PBS Feature Album is Legends, the third album from experimental duo Wilson Tanner.

Legends is a wine-soaked agricultural fantasy, made among the grapevines at Manon Farm in South Australia. Where the duo’s earlier works settled into the sun-struck torpor of a suburban Perth backyard (69) or drifted off-course on a riverboat on Port Phillip Bay (ii), Legends trades salt air for vineyard sweat, the scrape of boots on dry earth and workers’ radios humming with the summer test cricket season.

Grinding Eyes - Out Of Focus

Mon 28 Apr 2025 to Sun 4 May 2025
Feature Sounds

This week's PBS Feature Album is Out Of Focus, the new expansive psych-rock album from Grinding Eyes.

Forming in 2016 and named after a 1960s Spanish B-grade horror film, Grinding Eyes have always played the long game, carefully constructing sonically dense and dynamically expansive albums. Out Of Focus is a thundering ride through waves of droning guitars, lush melodic hooks and driving kraut inspired repetition.

Treebeard Studio 5 Live

Tue 22 Apr 2025
Studio 5 Live

Drawing from post rock, post metal, prog and shoegaze, Treebeard's music involves lengthy and dynamic songs, ranging from the peaceful and emotive, to the destructive and furious. 

The band released their debut album Nostalgia in 2021, garnering praise for its fresh approach to the genre, as well as its potent sense of atmosphere. In 2024, Treebeard released their follow-up Snowman, another epic concept album but with a much heavier and emotionally cathartic approach. 

Leatherman - Turn You On

Mon 21 Apr 2025 to Sun 27 Apr 2025
Feature Sounds

This week's PBS Feature Album is Turn You On, the raucous debut from local five-piece Leatherman.

Marlon Williams - Te Whare Tiwekaweka

Mon 14 Apr 2025 to Sun 20 Apr 2025
Feature Sounds

This week's PBS Feature Album is Te Whare Tīwekaweka, the fourth album from Marlon Williams. Over fourteen original songs, performed entirely in Te Reo Māori, Marlon explores newfound lyrical honesty and a grand sonic vision. When Marlon was having difficulty writing an album in English, he found that switching to his other ancestral tongue, which while not fluent, unlocked a new means of self-expression and felt like an important act of reclamation.

Liz Stringer - The Second High
