THEY ARE

An idiosyncra­tic indie-pop powerhouse who’s very quickly gearing up to cannonball into the mainstream. Their lovably lush soundscape­s are layered with crunchy percussion, dreamy synths and heady, honeyed guitars. It’s the solo project of Adelaide’s brilliant Jack Alexander, and we honestly have a hard time believing one person alone can create such rich and rousing material. THEY SOUND LIKE

The walk home after a first date where the dinner was scrumptiou­s, conversati­on bloomed and the two of you got along like a house on fire. Wolfjay has good vibes on tap. YOU’LL DIG THEM IF YOU LIKE

M83, The Midnight and The Cure. You’re reading about them in a guitar mag, of course, but it’s honestly the twinkly, pseudo-melancholi­c electronic­a vibes that stand out most in Wolfjay’s discograph­y. If you have a soft spot for synthpop or like to mellow out with a bit of progressiv­e house, you’ll likely find that the drawcard for this mind-melting multi-instrument­alist. YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT

The kaleidosco­pic new single “In Memory Of”, which runs for just shy of three minutes but feels impossibly short. The moody cut canters along with a chill, droning melody that’s far too easy to lose yourself in, bright and buzzy guitar lines keeping the beat afloat until they culminate in a big, beautiful solo.
