It’s been nine months since I last wrote about Dallas’ Conner Youngblood (facebook/twitter) when he dropped the astounding Monsters as a debut.

Now he’s back with a new track, Australia, that keeps his sultry vocals front and centre, just backed by a simple repetitive drum march and a few chords. It is simple and beautiful, the whole time escalating until it fills you with joy. Welcome back.
