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.

Over fourteen original songs, performed entirely in Te Reo Māori, Marlon explores newfound lyrical honesty and a grand sonic vision.
