Sydney band HOOLAHAN may have played infrequently over the years, yet they remain the cosmic North Star of the local indie rock scene – guiding the way with their thrilling guitar interplay and unimpeachable melodic compass.

Their third studio album BAY OF CHANCE – released 25 September on Wayne Connolly’s Scenic Drive Records – is a beautiful parade of sophisticated songs and lyrical laments that ring with hope in times of uncertainty.

The album came together over a series of writing and recording sessions, with songwriters David Orszaczky and Tim Kevin swapping ideas via post and in-person. Canberra natives and lifelong friends with an enduring musical chemistry, David and Tim allowed the songs to develop and fall into place – compiling the keepers from a range of new material developed since their last full-length release Casuarina (2017). Harry Roden (bass) and Neil Bateman (drums) added their distinctive touch and it was smooth sailing from there.

The result is a gentle landing – an unhurried collection of songs selected for mood and flow that showcases their upbeat melodic guitar roots as well as venturing into more dreamlike, reflective and cinematic territory.

Opening up in style are THE EXILE CO. with their unique take on garage rock and roll - set against an Andalusian landscape of abandoned film sets and long distance surf guitars. Their latest single Low is a total cracker.
