Led zeppelin hit JB Hi-FI now

And other Heavy news...

Daniel Johns

Aerial Love EP

It's been eight years

since Silverchair's

acclaimed final album

Straight Lines.

Daniel

Johns' new solo EP

Aerial Love

strikes

out boldly in a new direction. Collaborating

with Lorde producer Joel Little,

Aerial Love's

modernist pop is undoubtedly a departure. A

full album will follow later in 2015.

"An intoxicating mix of Frank Ocean and

Peter Gabriel, it leaves you wanting more."

IN THE SPOTLIGHT ON JB HI-FI NOW

Before her debut was even

ready she’d already graced the

stage at Glastonbury in the

UK, and had her new single

named ‘hottest record in the

world’ by highly influential BBC

announcer Zane Lowe. She

played on

Ellen

the same week

as Michelle Obama appeared.

She's conquered the Australian

festival circuit and after

long-standing acclaim for her

previous EPs both at home and

afield, Courtney Barnett's new

album is finally ready! Barnett's

story-songs are fantastically

imaginative; equally playful and

powerful.

Madonna's long awaited new album went to

number one in Australia in its first week of release.

It also comes hot on the heels of an Australian

tour announcement (with dates and venues to be

announced). Her new

album features Nicki

Minaj, Kanye West,

Nas, and Chance the

Rapper. Producers

include Madonna, Dipl

Kanye West, Avicii and

more. Heard it yet?

cover stars last

month, WA's San Cisco, have

effortlessly sailed back into our

ears with their second album

Gracetown.

Featuring the single

Too Much Time Together,

and a

much vaunted guest spot from

The Preatures' Izzy Manfredi on

Jealousy, Gracetown

is full of

sweet ways of saying less than

sweet things. To find out more

you'll need to stream it!

San Cisco

Gracetown

This will be one of 2015's most

talked about records. With the

title referencing the famous

novel

To Kill a Mockingbird,

the album features cuts with

Flying Lotus, his collaborator

Thundercat, funk legend George

Clinton and the

ubiquitous Snoop

Dogg. A bruising

commentary

on US race

relations,

expect a

challenging

listen.

To Pimp a

Butterfly

James Bay is a soulful

UK troubadour who cut

his teeth at open mic nights

in London, and was signed

to a record deal after a fan

uploaded a performance to

YouTube! His record company

flew him to New York on the

strength of the clip. If you like

Haim, Kim Odell, or Ben

Howard, Bay's

Chaos and the

Calm

is for you.

music legends

he mighty

Led Zeppelin

are one of

the most influential, innovative rock

acts of all time. While they haven't

operated as a band since 1980 (barring three

reunion gigs), the three remaining members of

group, including recent re-mastering of their

key albums. Led Zeppelin have never sounded

so good, and now you can stream them on JB

general, there's plenty being added to JB HI-FI

NOW all the time. After their Soundwave

apperances,

Judas Priest

reissue of the classic

Defenders of the Faith

album. If you like the symphonic side of metal,
