In this episode of the All Things Musical podcast we play some live recordings from The Conjurors' performance at Auckland Libraries in May, we talk to Gareth Shute from the band about where he buys his socks, plus we listen to tracks from Scott Mannion, The Cosbys, Lawrence Arabia and the Ruby Suns. As well as being a multi-instrumentalist, Gareth has written five books which you can find in our catalogue.

Emily Littler of Street Chant has been working on solo material under the name of Emily Edrosa. With drum machine beats and sparse backing, her lyrical style comes more to the fore over six stunning tracks. It's being released digitally and on a run of 50 cassette tapes via her own Pasta Tapes label. Check it via the Soundcloud widget above.

Broods and Yumi Zouma

It's been a big year for Kiwi acts Broods and Yumi Zouma. The two bands have very different origins and takes on electronic pop, but have similarly found themselves darlings of the international blogosphere. While the former is a brother/sister duo produced by Lorde producer Joel Little, the latter formed when all three of their members were based in three different countries (and funnily enough they'll be touring with Lorde in the US).

The two acts have found themselves signed to overseas labels and blog aggregator Hype Machine has them both sitting in their 2014 (and a half) ones to watch list. Head over there to check out what they had to say and listen to the rest of the blogosphere's heir apparents.
