Funk Soul

This week’s PBS Feature Album is NQR&B by the 'Ukulele Queen of the Bellarine', Sarah Carroll.

NQR&B is a collection which celebrates Sarah's great loves and her unique life, with a career spanning over 30 years as a performer. Her songs chime with sincerity and deal largely with her life as a teacher, mother, wife, political animal and touring musician. 

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Sing Your Own Song, the debut album from multi-talented Northern
Territory musicians, the Andrew Gurruwiwi Band.

A high-energy, eight-piece funk band who have honed their chops on the beach at Birrtjimi and in the dirt of Yirrkala, the Andrew Gurruwiwi Band write real funk jams in their native tongue, Yolngu Matha.

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Love Heart Cheat Code by Hiatus Kaiyote.

Love Heart Cheat Code is a snapshot of four musicians dancing together on the edge across 11 playful and exuberant tracks. For a band that made a name for itself with its complexity and for their embrace of maximalism, one of the most striking things about Love Heart Cheat Code is its simplicity.

This week’s PBS Feature Album is This But More by Priori.

Francis Latreille's evolution as Priori seems deeply intertwined with a commitment to exploring new sonic territories and collaborative endeavors. This But More appears poised to be a significant milestone, blending elements of dubby techno with ambient textures, and drawing inspiration from a rich tapestry of sources, including literature, cinema, and the natural world.
