Sydney indie pop five-piece The Griswolds exploded onto the music scene with their insanely catchy debut single ‘Mississippi’, and today the guys dropped their second single, ‘Heart Of A Lion’.

At long last there’s a new Metric song to wrap your head around, which is especially important to do given the band’s imminent visit to Australia for Splendour In The Grass and (hopefully) some sideshows. It’s been a long time coming, but ‘Youth Without Youth’, the first single from Metric’s upcoming album ‘Synthetica’, which drops on the 12th of June, was worth the wait. Check it out below.

Jens Lekman ‘I Don’t Know What To Do With This Information’

Fresh off releasing one of the best EPs of the year, ‘An Argument With Myself’, Melbourne-based Swede Jens Lekman played an acoustic session for London’s Maida Vale studios, where he opened proceedings with a new track entitled ‘I Don’t Know What To Do With This Information’. It sounds a lot like your typical Jens song: pretty, witty, and downright fantastic. Have a listen.
