Melbourne-based DJ Moopie's latest release, Going Back to Sleep, is a masterclass in twee-pop curation. This compilation, put out by A Colourful Storm, a label that punches above its weight in showcasing charmingly moody experimental pop music, features a diverse range of artists who embody the label's ethos.
Moopie's sets are renowned for their eclecticism, and this compilation is no exception. It delves into various genres, from ambient to drum'n'bass, providing listeners with an immersive experience that is as wide-ranging as it is cohesive. The label has an impressive roster of artists, including Valentina Magaletti, Troth, and Simon Fisher Turner, all of whom contribute tracks that showcase the best of indie pop.
The compilation features a plethora of talented acts, including Daily Toll, who bring a melancholic melody with their track "Time", while Chateau delivers percussive, psychedelic lounge pop on "How Long on the Platform". Who Cares?, one of Melbourne's most promising new bands, channels a mix of Hope Sandoval and Eartheater in their hauntingly beautiful track "Wax and Wane".
In addition to these standout tracks, Going Back to Sleep also features contributions from San Francisco indie stalwarts the Reds, Pinks and Purples; minimalist Sydney group the Lewers; and sun-dappled folk-pop duo the Hobknobs. The result is an unassuming yet deeply felt compilation that is sure to become a beloved favorite among fans of delicate, emotive music.
In addition to Moopie's release, this week's best new tracks feature a diverse range of artists across various genres. Flea, the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist, has released a rare solo track, "A Plea", which is a magnificently realised soul-jazz piece that calls for peace and love.
Daniel Blumberg and Amanda Seyfried have collaborated on the stunning duet "Clothed By the Sun", taken from Blumberg's soundtrack to The Testament of Ann Lee, which has won this year's best original score Oscar. Jana Horn delivers a despondent return with her track "All in Bet", painting a picture of weary disappointment through every shade.
Yamila's industrial-tinged gothic opus "Sin Desarraigo" could easily be imagined on the soundtrack to Dune, with its thundering drums, metallic shrieks, and eerie chorals. Zora Jones x DJ Polo teams up for some slamming ghettotech in their track "Hoes Link Up", while Jawnino and Surf Gang collaborate on the cloud-rap inspired mixtape Amnesia.
Lastly, Annabelle Chairlegs' garagey number "Heavy Sleeper" chugs along at its own pace, from runaway trucks to dazed reveries about how "the moon returns the spirit to me". With Going Back to Sleep and these new tracks, this week's playlist is a must-listen for fans of experimental pop music.

their compilation with A Colourful Storm is giving me LIFE 
it's like the perfect blend of moody vibes and eclectic sounds that just make you wanna dance and chill at the same time. and can we talk about the rest of these artists featured on the label? daily toll, chateau, and who cares? are all killing the game with their unique styles 
valentina magaletti's music is like a warm hug for my soul 
can't wait to dive deeper into this playlist!
This compilation from Moopie is like a masterclass in twee-pop curation - I mean, who wouldn't want to listen to Valentina Magaletti and Troth back-to-back? 
. And the fact that it's all so cohesive is just a testament to Moopie's skill as a DJ and curator. I'm definitely gonna be spinning this one for weeks to come 
It's like they took all their favorite twee-pop curation and condensed it into this amazing compilation featuring some really talented artists 
The label A Colourful Storm is killin' it with its roster of indie pop acts 
What I love about this compilation is how it brings together so many different artists and styles to create something cohesive yet diverse 
It's like a party in your ears!
Daily Toll's track "Time" gives me all the feels 
and Who Cares?'s "Wax and Wane" is hauntingly beautiful 
just listened to this compilation "Going Back to Sleep" by Moopie and I'm OBSESSED 
. From ambient to drum'n'bass, every track is so unique and cohesive 
. I'm already on repeat with Daily Toll's "Time" and Who Cares?'s hauntingly beautiful "Wax and Wane"... this compilation is a masterpiece 
And what about the rest of the playlist? It's just a bunch of good songs that don't really break any new ground, you know? Flea's solo track is cool and all, but it feels like an outlier in this sea of indie-pop. How many people are actually gonna listen to "Going Back to Sleep" when there's no real game-changer in the mix?
