The Bamboos’ Kylie Auldist Enjoys Solo Success

Kylie Auldist first came to my attention as the sassy frontwoman of funk act The Bamboos. But apparently when she’s not strutting her stuff with the band, she makes her own solo music. Today she releases the single “Counting on You,” our first taste of her third album Still Life.

Due to drop on October 15, Still Life promises to be the album that sees Kylie truly make her mark as a solo album. It was co-written with her Bamboos bandmate Lance Ferguson, who helped her plum universally timeless themes like love and loss.

“Counting on You” is available now ahead of Still Life’s release.

Carly Dickenson Offers EP Sneak Peek

Its release is still several months away, but Brisbane electro-pop artist Carly Dickenson is creating some buzz about the launch of her debut EP with this sizzle reel.

This short video gives us a taste of what we can expect to hear on her first disc, Still Life. She might be far from a household name yet, but the involvement of Quan Yeomans from Regurgitator and Wally “Gotye” DeBacker should generate some extra interest.

Carly’s got that lovely chilled out quality to her music that reminds me of the heyday of Portishead and Massive Attack. Look out for her Still Life EP when it hits stores in mid-May.
