Mali Mali comes up to play some songs from their new album 'Psychic Acorns', live! A sparse, blissful pleasure, 'Psychic Acorns' grew out of Ben Tolich’s desire to stop agonising over his art and lean into his instincts. “I just wanted things to flow and let my subconscious do more of the work, focusing more on the overall feeling of the music.” Check it out whānau! Out now on Flying Nun Records.

Rosetta chats with Tom De Plume and his new venture into solo territories with his latest single ‘Jaywalking’. A burning passion for music lights this track ablaze with fantastic support from similarly fantastic musicians, it’s an insightful kōrero about laying your inner workings bare.
