Singer-songwriter Dustin Tebbutt has seen his star rise since becoming the darling of triple j a couple of years ago. And now the j’s have just debuted his beautiful latest single “First Light”.
“First Light” is the first taster of Dustin Tebbutt’s highly anticipated debut album of the same name which has been announced for the 5th August this year.
“The simple story? I met a girl, and over time she unlocked song after song until she’d inspired a whole album,” Tebbutt explained. “I know this isn’t the first time someone’s written an album about falling in love. That’s exactly why it feels so magical though – every time feels like the first time.”

Melbourne indie-folkers Forest Falls have just released their wonderful new single and video “Archipelago Heart”. The luscious track is as much a a nod to 80s pop as it is the band’s indie-folk roots but still has all the lyrical and melodic hallmarks we’ve come to expect from the band.
“Archipelago Heart” is the first in a collection of works titled Modern Love which will be released throughout 2016.
“With Archipelago Heart, this first installation of the Modern Love collection, we tackle the issue of ‘love for displaced people’; we a band being honest in its convictions, and sound,” Jon Forest from the band explained.
Check out the video fro “Archipelago Heart” below:

Get Folked takes place this Saturday 28th May at the Gasoline Pony in Sydney with music kicking off at 10am. Tickets are available for just the daylight, evening or for the entire day.
