Cementing herself in the upper echelons of Australian singer-songwriters, Gena Rose Bruce navigates emotional turmoil, fragility, death and honesty on Deep Is The Way, her second “lovely and affecting record” (MOJO - 4\*s), out now via Dot Dash / Remote Control Records.

Last year a suffocating black fog pursued the Melbourne musician through the night’s depths – a recurring dream brought on by the passing of her partner’s mother and pandemic instability.

Deep Is the Way chronicles Bruce's fraught path back into the light, processing death and inner turmoil to emerge with a newfound state of strength and resilience.

Deep Is the Way is Bruce’s outlet for the unrelenting emotions; but writing only gets you part of the way. It’s only through embracing the strength in her long-term relationship – found on the delicate piano tribute "Love" – and relishing nature's therapeutic qualities through a newfound love of gardening, which she is now studying too, that Bruce has found herself back literally on solid ground. Investing time in life's cycles of renewal and growth gave the album its name, and the context for its pivotal title track. "Working with your hands, in dirt and mud, is just a really beautiful feeling".

Masca - Unsure

HighSchool – are a Melbourne trio consisting of Lilli and Rory Trobbiani and Luke Scott who make a spellbinding indie-pop sound full of stylish, gothic excess.

Having spent 2021 dropping great singles with stunning, band-made accompanying videos, they finally released their infectious six-track debut EP, entitled ‘Forever at Last’, at the end of the year to much acclaim… (“A sprawling and gorgeous thing” - NME, "Unashamedly hook-driven art pop elation” - So Young, “Potent indie pop that recalls early Beach Fossils, aspects of The Cure, while channelling elements of The Go-Betweens, but really they are forging fresh paths, and laying claim to a sound of their own” - Clash Magazine). With people hooked, the first 12” pressing sold-out immediately (released as part of the Dinked series, sold exclusively by leading UK independent record shops) and the gig bookings flew in.

Now based in London, they’ve wasted no time getting to know their new home, playing shows with CHVRCHES, Mitski, NewDad and Wet Leg, as well as various UK festivals including All Points East, End of the Road, The Great Escape, Manchester Psych Festival, Sea Change, Standon Calling and Visions. The second half of the year sees them tour Europe for the first time as well as their first headline tour of the UK. Shows in North America and back home in Australia are scheduled for 2023. ‘They’re like the perfect amalgamation of all my favourite bands,’ says Speedy co-runner Pierre Hall after catching one of their early Great Escape Shows. ‘We met up with them when we got back to London and asked them to play our compilation launch a few weeks later. They fitted in perfectly and just felt like family straight away.’

The Rift

Jen Cloher (Ngāpuhi & Ngāti Kahu) is a songwriter and performer living on unceded Wurundjeri land in Naarm (Melbourne) Australia. Cloher’s taut, terse brand of rock is charged with the static tension that comes with being an eternal misfit; they have spoken truth to power with the shrewd eye that only an outsider can possess. Admirers have naturally gravitated towards Cloher’s incisive, generous songwriting. Over the course of five albums, they have won a J Award and an AIR Award and been nominated for an ARIA and the Australian Music Prize. In 2012 Cloher founded Milk! Records with Courtney Barnett releasing music from Sleater Kinney, Tiny Ruins, Hachiku and more.

On their first album in five years, Cloher finally breathes out. I Am The River, The River Is Me, their fifth album, is verdant and rich; it luxuriates in stillness, and carries itself with cool, unfussy confidence. It suggests that home is not found in a place or a politic, but in the community you keep: Inspired by Cloher’s powerful matrilineal line of wāhine Māori, I Am The River, The River Is Me is not urgent, or hurried, but it is vital. The joy of life, Cloher seems to say, is in forgiving your moments of weakness with grace, and embracing the parts of you that are unfinished.
