Midnight Oil urged us to ‘Change The Date’. Missy Higgins took over an empty Melbourne CBD. Archie Roach showcased his love. Last week’s episode of The Sound – featuring a special NAIDOC Week celebration – was a stunner:

‘The high point was the final performance – a tribute to the great Warumpi Band’s ‘My Island Home’. Christine Anu, who made the song a chart hit with her cover back in 1995, was joined by Ngaiire, Electric Fields’ Zaachariaha Fielding, and Emma Donovan from their respective homes for a gorgeous rendition’ – Junkee

Prepare yourselves: we’re back for more! Tune in Sunday 15 November at 6pm on ABC and iview to catch:

With their third album We Will Always Love You due 11 December, The Avalanches recruited Texan soul singer extraordinaire Leon Bridges for their latest single, ‘Interstellar Love’. Filmed live at Melbourne’s Planetarium, with Bridges captured at Niles City Sound studio in Fort Worth, Texas, don’t miss The Avalanches on The Sound this Sunday!

Nominated for five ARIAs in 2020 off the back of THE GLOW – Album of the Year, Best Rock Album, Best Independent Release, Best Group and Best Live Act – is Sydney trio DMA’S, who perform their now classic ‘Silver’ for The Sound at Carriageworks

25-year-old Gamilaraay woman, musician, and creator Thelma Plum smashed expectations 18 months ago when she dropped her acclaimed debut album, Better In Blak. Filmed in the kuril dhugan room at The State Library of Queensland, she performs her latest single, ‘Homecoming Queen’

It’s been a meteoric 12 months for LA-residing Aussie Sam Fischer, who’s scored over 1 million sales and 250 million+ streams to date. We filmed Sam at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel, performing his hit single ‘This City’. Be sure to listen to his new EP Homework

Middle Kids have released their first new music in over 18 months – watch them perform ‘R U 4 Me?’ in a special set filmed at the 1950’s iconic Rose Seidler House in Sydney. The new single was produced by Lars Stalfors (St Vincent, Cold War Kids)

Sydney art-pop rising star Odette just announced her forthcoming second album, Herald, due out 5 February. Recorded with producer Damian Taylor (Björk, Arcade Fire, The Killers), it’ll include her captivating new single, ‘Dwell’

Spotify’s Australian RADAR artist for 2020 and with over 5 million streams to date plus spins on BBC 1 is the refreshingly honest merci, mercy, who performs her single ‘Tequila & Lemonade’. Grab her debut EP, no thank you, no thanks, out now
