Writer’s Picks #003: What we’re listening to this month

Our third Writer’s Picks playlist is a banging collection of May’s finest musical offerings, both locally and internationally.

From Will Linley’s budding talent to Timi Afilaka’s heartfelt, lo-fi musings and Jeremy Loops‘ long-anticipated collab with Ed Sheeran, “Better Together”, there are plenty good vibes here to help liven up your weekend.

International faces The Smile and art-punk outfit Palaye Royale bring energy in equal measure, while the likes of Foals, Emerger and Amy Lilley deliver softer flourishes of indie-pop respectively.

Other names include ZuluMecca, Nomadic Orchestra, RXSolo, Namakau Star, Gyre, and newcomer to the scene Angie Oeh, who impresses with her brash Afrikaans rap-hop – like Die Antwoord, only a lot more relevant.
