Joining the ranks of Kaurna Land bands to showcase their sounds through Swirl Records this year is Day for Caroline, an alternative folk-rock group formed in the basements of Adelaide University’s Elder Conservatorium of Music. With the November 22nd unveiling of their double single, When The Day Breaks and I Can See, Day for Caroline have marked their first Swirl collaboration with a noteworthy fluctuation from their typical sonic calibre.

For their first official release through Swirl Records, Kaurna-based indie-rockers Stormy-Lou have today released their newest single, “Falls Away”, a surging, swirling, and searing three-minute cacophony of melancholy and romance that features a rare vocal performance from bassist Alex Taylor. As the first single from their upcoming debut EP “See Ya, Love Ya, Bye?”, “Falls Away” is a memoir to mental health and depression, disguised through driving guitars and unwavering energy.

Marking a third collaborative release with Swirl Records, Hard Rubbish have today unveiled their newest single, “16 Walls”, an introspective encapsulation of suffocation and reflection underscored by a lush backdrop of chorus-drenched guitars and fuzzy choruses. Recorded and mixed by Tom Matheson at Interim Studios and mastered by Cory Hanson, “16 Walls” was written as a conversation to oneself, summoning memories of it’s narrators past whilst glancing synchronously into his future.

As part of their initial foray into the “barn department” of folk music, Wake in Fright have today released “You Deserve”, a lively coalescence of complimentary sounds and textures predominantly recorded live at Wizard Tone Studios.
