1) Seize The Day by The Herbaliser featuring Just Jack
The London trip hoppers return with this highlight from their new album Bring Out The Sound.
2) Lady Powers by Vera Blue
Australian singer/songwriter mixing folk with beats to great effect.
3) Black Flowers by Reverend And The Maker
This song is as good as Mid 90's Portishead. Sometimes you find greatness in the most unlikely places!
4) The End Times by Ball Park Music
Australian indie rockers have released a strong fifth album Good Mood which I will be dipping into for further gems in the months ahead.
5) Reputation (Frank Booker & Julien Dyne Remix) by Ghost Wave
Congratulations you've found your first Easter Egg! This deep house rework of Ghost Wave is a sublime cut that wouldn't be out of place on Heavenly's High In A Basement compilation.
6) 21 Questions by Winston Surfshirt
I love this - Regular listeners will already be well acquainted with Sydney's Winston Surfshirt and this is a worthy cover of a 2003 hit originally sung by 50 Cent.
7) Feel Good by Jah9
Reggae Revival - feelgood song of the Year.
8) Today Is The Day by Eels
Eels are back on fine form and making some of their best music in nearly two decades.
9) Get Lucky by San Cisco
Another Aussie band with another cover of an international hit rocking the bongos!
10) Beginner's Luck by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Sticking with the Aussie bands for the opening track of their fifth album of 2017 for KG&TLW.
Gambling never sounded so risky.
11) That's What You Get For Getting Out Of Bed by Grandaddy
Grandaddy only reformed last year after a ten year break. I didn't miss them to be honest but this new material is awesome so I hope they stick around.
12) Morning Person by Cousin Tony's Brand New Firebird
I know nothing about this band - they appear to be an Australian band and they have released their debut album Electric Brown earlier this year.
13) The Heart Is A Muscle (Radio Edit) by Gang Of Youths
Another track from the Aussie indie rockers lifted from the popular Go Further In Lightness album.
14) Dylan & Caitlin by Manic Street Preachers
New album Resistance Is Futile is released on 6th April. This is the third preview single based on the end of the relationship between Dylan Thomas and his wife Caitlin.
15) Lizard Empire by Chemtrails
London's scuzzy poppers sing a song so you can tap your foot and/or nod your head.
16) All That Remains by Embrace
Embrace used to be so good in the 90's but they really went off the boil. This is a rare glimpse of their original power. Lighters in the air!
17) Twisted Sky by Dana Buoy
Discovered on a Modern Psychedelia playlist and it certainly ticks those buttons. They could be the opening act for Temples playing to a handful of fans and bar staff.
18) Nameless, Faceless by Courtney Barnett
Australia's most cynical Millennial returns with a promising new single full of biting comments and snippets of lyrical genius. I was a fan of her early singles but was disappointed in her debut album so hoping for better things with her second album.
19) Captain by Nice Biscuit
More Australian psychedelia to bliss out too.
20) My Life by ZHU & Tame Impala
We have waited a long time for Tame Impala to resurface since 2015's Currents. They appear as a band on this single with ZHU and not just featuring Kevin Parker. This could mean they are working together to release something new in 2018.
