Rat & Co - Forget Never Forget
———————————
Rat & Co is a brand new project from Melbourne’s Joshua Delaney (Chet Faker’s bassist), that sees him building sweltering soundscapes with a homemade touch.
‘Forget Never Forget’ begins with rich harmonies and very minimal instrumentation but once you hit the 1.30 minute mark, the song shifts into a cacophony of beats, staccato vocals and hazy synths - total bliss!
Give Rat & Co some love via Unearthed or check out their Soundcloud page for more.

Chet Faker – the bearded Melbournian lad who makes women weak at their knees. Yeah, that one – has launched a new Live Sessions series, which sees him and his band playing a couple of his tracks live at Newstead Butter Factory.
The first of these live video sessions sees them playing a cover of Burial’s ‘Archangel’. An absolutely raw, stunning and spine-tingling rendition. The best part about Chet Faker’s covers is that he makes the original song his own.
Chet Faker told 2SER that he’s been working on a debut album and will hopefully release it ‘soon’.

Sticking to the theme of summery tunes, here’s Perth band Sunny and their delicious track ‘Just Say It’.
The two-piece consists of Sean (Braves) and Pat (Lazy Lamb) and together they create the sweetest lo-fi pop!
Perth has delivered a crazy amount of good bands this year, mostly of the hazy-psychedelic sort.
Sunny have released an EP which this track features on - you can grab it here for free. Give ‘em some love over at Unearthed.
