“Harmonix” | Tom VR & Louf | Phelt Phinds 029

Listening to this reminds me of watching flowers bloom in timelapse, a beautiful evolution made up of distinct and appealing stages.

Music

“Notice Me” | SZA | Phelt Phinds 028

Seemingly, “Notice Me” is all about how hard it is to totally let go of a relationship. SZA is contradicted, in her head she knows it’s over but her heart still yearns for that special someone.

Evidence Of Human Life | Douglas Flores | Phelt Pheatures

Studying Douglas’s frames you’ll soon realise that shafts of light are his greatest friend. Whether it’s the warm sun glancing across the front of a home or film-noir tones leaking out of a shopfront at night, each picture is clinically considered.

TROVE 004 | Angus Mills

Seeing as “Alva” blew us away we had to ask the producer what tracks made by his peers have resonated with him recently.
“You Forget” | Oliver Henry & Keepa | Phelt Phinds 027

Music

“You Forget” | Oliver Henry & Keepa | Phelt Phinds 027

Moving vocals wrap themselves around lush instrumentation as the collaborators take you to the skies. There’s an intriguing dichotomy between heartache and hope in Keepa’s vocal delivery – mourning and celebrating a relationship simultaneously.
Subcultural Exuberance | Saul Good | Phelt Pheatures

Subcultural Exuberance | Saul Good | Phelt Pheatures

Studying Saul’s work there’s a playfulness and zest to every subject matter he tackles. In one piece, a painter whistles a merry tune as he heads off for a day on the job. In another, a jolly fruit vendor juggles oranges in a commissioned work for Atomic Beer.

TROVE 002 | Low~D

For our second edition of TROVE, we’ve invited one of the smiliest selectors Eora has to offer and a member of our Phelt Writer’s family. Low~D (Jack Cody) decided to start stringing tracks together after gazing too long at his records sitting idly at home.

TROVE 001 | SAIDAH

Welcome to Trove. A series where we chat to our favourite music purveyors about five tracks that have hit differently recently and how each one came into their lives. The inaugural treasures come courtesy of SAIDAH (Zoe Saidah).

Delightfully Deviant | Kim Manning | Phelt Pheatures

What Kim puts down on paper is stunning, an unbridled depiction of sexual pleasure. Wielding an array of watercolours she brings raunchy and arousing scenes to life. In one work, women explore each other’s soaking bodies in the shower. In another, a man enters his partner as they writhe under the sheets.

Where The Magic Happens | Aniss Hamdane | Phelt Pheatures

Aniss reminds us of how beautifully engineered cars truly are. A myriad of different parts working harmoniously to deliver us safely from A to B. Whether intentional or not, he celebrates the minutiae – from hundreds of LEDs in a single brake light to the jigsawed panels that make up a car’s outer shell.

Music

‘TWO SHRiMPS’ (feat. Mac DeMarco) | DOMi & JD BECK | Phelt Phinds 026

There’s a contagious urgency to DOMi and JD BECK’s instrumentation. You can’t escape it. It sucks you into a musical centrifuge, a place that’s free of fear and full of love.
‘Years In The Ground’ | Patrick Holland | Phelt Phinds 025

Music

‘Years In The Ground’ | Patrick Holland | Phelt Phinds 025

Made up of stark electric guitar riffs and soothing percussion, the singer-songwriter spruiks an important message. He encourages us to make the most out of the time we have here before we all end up six feet under.

Stolen Moments | Sam Bohorquez | Phelt Pheatures

Bohorquez’s images give us windows into memories of people and places so palpable – one can almost hear cars zooming by, smell the smoke billowing from lit cigarettes and feel the texture of bricks and mortar. Her work is a stunning insight into pockets of the world we may otherwise not see.

One Day At A Time | Victor Shergill | Phelt Pheatures

The way Victor creates is a sign of the digital times. Think finger painting but on your phone screen. Using an app called Heavypaint, the Sydneysider brews calming scenes through smears and strokes.

‘Wish’ | Four Songs EP | Blood Orange | Phelt Phinds 024

‘Wish’ is the one we keep playing over and over. Founded on soft snares and hazy synths, Hynes has crafted a record that’s purpose-built for car rides. We’re talking about those trips where you’re driving on auto-pilot and your mind’s in far-off places.
