The Rasmus will arrive in Australia shortly for their first-ever headline shows, bringing to an end a long wait for local fans. It’s a notable milestone for a band whose career has spanned more than two decades, beginning with the Gold-certified debut Peep released when they were just 16, and extending through 11 albums, 17 Top 10 singles, and arena and stadium tours worldwide.

Robyn has announced her ninth studio album, Sexistential, set for global release on 27 March 2026. The record marks a new chapter for one of pop’s most influential figures, arriving after the introspective club focus of 2018’s Honey and reconnecting with the direct, emotionally charged pop that defined her Body Talk era.

Introducing Vintage Sounds In Modern Blues is an album that will sit oh so well in the upper echelons of the canon of Australian blues music.

Thunderstorm Artis has announced a return to Australia in March 2026, bringing his live show to a select run of intimate venues. Designed to prioritise closeness and connection, the tour places emphasis on the emotional detail of Artis’ songwriting, allowing his voice and stories to resonate without distraction.

'Amelioration'is a delicate and beautiful album enhanced by nuanced and subtle instrumentation that creates a shimmering web of sound behind McMeekin's extraordinary vocals and putting her songwriting strength to the fore.

At Sydney Festival, Paris Paloma transformed City Recital Hall into a shared space of music and meaning, supported by emeree’s Motown-inflected R&B set and punctuated by Paloma’s onstage reflections on the patriarchy, including a quote from writer Rebecca Shaw.

Mouth Water has released the new album Technology Fueled Dream Obsolescence, led by the heartfelt new single ‘JJ (Give and Take). Written for his daughter, who was born just months before work began on the record, the song captures the fragile, undefined space of first connection through its heartfelt lyricism, over a rich, soundscape which blends neo-soul undertones with vibrant indietronica and his innate electronic pop tendencies.

Irremovable silica and iron deposits, as well as dissolution etching on Paleoindian lithic artifacts from Grass Valley, Nevada, can imitate wear polish and obscure use-wear traces on lithic tools. Previously unrecognized on Great Basin artifacts, researchers unfamiliar with such accumulations may mistake silica crusts on buried artifacts for carbonates or fail to recognize silica-glazed or etched artifacts without examination under magnification. Because these deposits cannot be entirely removed without artifact damage, our goal is to describe their genesis and effects so other researchers can recognize and avoid misinterpreting them in future lithic studies. This study describes the alterations and processes that create these phenomena, places them in regional and specific contexts, identifies the types and sources of iron and silica involved, and examines variation with toolstone type, landform age and stability, soil type, pH, and depth below the surface. These processes are likely to affect lithic artifacts elsewhere in a broad region of arid North America west of the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountains with tephra-rich duric soils and in other regions with similar climate, sources of silica, and soil chemistry.
