MUSIC EDIT
KIAN recently released his new album ‘Wake Up, You’re Falling’ and Unraveled had a chat with him about all things music, finding yourself and what his predictions are for the Australian music industry.
Unraveled chats with Lorren Chiodo who opens up about the release of her debut EP Brain Pain, a raw and introspective project that explores vulnerability, authenticity, and self-discovery.
Written mostly while on tour with Harry Styles, the EP blends personal experiences with her unique musical influences, merging synth and orchestral elements. Discussing the impact of touring with artists like Harry Styles and UMI, the creative freedom she found in making the EP independently, and how her mentor, trumpet player Tiger Okoshi, inspired one of the project's most emotional moments. Brain Pain is an honest, cathartic exploration of Lorren's journey to embrace her artistry and vulnerability.
At the heart of the Northcote Social Club, we got the chance to interview a very talented alt-rock artist all the way from New Zealand named ratbag (Sophie Brown) for her f show in Melbourne, Australia.
REVIEWS
It’s the start of a new September season, and what better way to kick off a new EP - “Analysis Paralysis” by everyone’s favourite headline Australian artist MAY-A. One of the most influential rising artists who has worked with international music sensations 5 Seconds Of Summer, Flume and Wallows, MAY-A continues to be a leading force in the music industry since her debut EP “Don’t Kiss Ur Friends” back in 2021.
Worried that there have not been enough big releases from local artists recently? Well, fear not. Enter G Flip, one of Australia’s surprise musical hot properties, and their new album, the appropriately titled Drummer. I confess I knew relatively little about the Naarm / Melbourne singer & drummer when I started this review. Happily, however, that means we’re working with a blank slate, so this album can be judged more accurately on its merits in a vacuum.
Typically here at Unraveled, we like to cover (relatively) new releases, giving you a deep dive into what’s what in the local and international music and fashion scenes. This review is going to be a little different though - it’s more of a tribute to a criminally underrated and almost totally obscure album. 0151 is the debut LP of Liverpool-based indie rock group The Night Cafe, which was released in 2019.

Twenty years ago, Missy Higgins burst onto the Australian music scene with her earnest track ‘All For Believing’, a song she wrote at just fifteen years old for a high school assignment. She then went on to release her breakout album ‘The Sound of White’, a record that captured the hearts of millions across the country and embedded Higgins into the Australian music zeitgeist. Now, after 40 sold-out shows across Australia, ‘The Second Act Tour’ came to a close over the weekend in Higgins’ home city of Melbourne at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Fans old and young, braved the summer rain to join in a celebration of the 20th anniversary of ‘The Sound of White’ and embrace her newest album ‘The Second Act’.
The number 70 tram was abuzz as it headed toward Margaret Court Arena on Monday evening. Fans of multi-platinum alt-rock trio Wallows, piled in, anxious to see their favourite band live. For many, this is their first concert.
After a sold out 2022 tour, Wallows, made up of childhood friends Dylan Minnette, Cole Preston and Braeden Lemasters, have come back down under to celebrate their most recent album Model with their ‘Model World Tour’. The energy in the arena was electric. Support act Grentperez set the stage perfectly with his high energy performance, no doubt garnering a new wave of fans during his set.
After their last successful run of sold-out shows across Australia in 2023, Californian indie-pop half•alive will return to Australia in 2025 in support of their latest album, ‘Persona’.
