Goldfish Smarts’ “Man About Town,” a Soulful Rustic Charm that Dives Deep into Urban Tales.
“Man About Town” by Sydney’s Goldfish Smarts is a brilliant and captivating musical journey that showcases the band’s exceptional ability to blend different genres of music. With their signature alternative-indie-surf-rock style, this six-member Manly, Australia band consisting of Phil Kelly (lead singer), Michael Pilz and Mark Carlile (guitarists and backing vocals), Mike Szymanski (bass), Stu Freeman (drums and vocals), and Mo MacRae (harmonica) has again produced a soulful and rustic masterpiece combining urban myths and rural charm.
The infusion of rock, blues, and funk creates an engaging sound narrative that will delight music lovers everywhere. “Man About Town,” released on August 18, 2023, is a labor of love that combines a dynamic rhythm section, intricate guitar riffs, and a touch of bluesy harmonica to create a sonic landscape reminiscent of The Stone Roses’ Manchester vibes intertwined with the coolness of The Cruel Sea’s Australian essence.
However, its lyrical depth and acoustic warmth truly set this single apart. Goldfish Smarts has crafted a tapestry of folk melodies that wrap around heartfelt lyrics, painting a vivid picture of introspective moments in the urban sprawl. With “Man About Town,” the band showcases their musical prowess and ability to transport listeners to a realm of contemplation and emotion.
In a discography spanning years, “Man About Town” emerges as the crowning jewel, reflecting the band’s unwavering dedication and brimming with emotional investment. For aficionados of folk-infused music, Goldfish Smarts’ latest masterpiece is an authentic expression of artistry that resonates deeply, delivering a soulful experience that’s both captivating and introspective.

Leyla Romanova finds strength in silence on new release “Self-Control”
Leyla Romanova‘s new single, “Self-Control,” is a powerful emotional release that feels more like a manifesto for surviving modern chaos than a song. In a world of opinions, urgency, and emotional exhaustion, Romanova offers a track based on one radical idea: not reacting.
“Self-Control” immediately creates tension and clarity. The drums keep everything together with discipline and purpose. As the textured instrumentals expand like waves of thought through a crowded mind, the bass anchors the listener emotionally.
The contrast between outside noise and inside stillness makes the song compelling. Romanova’s work captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by pressure, opinions, and distractions while silently retaining personal peace. There are no major uprisings. But restraint is power. The song knows energy conservation is a survival strategy.

J’mall expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own on “Unattainable”
J’mall’s latest single, “Unattainable,” expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own. The song explores the emotional void caused by constant comparison rather than motivation.
“Unattainable” is about realizing that no matter how hard one works to meet others’ expectations, the reward will never be satisfying. J’mall explores the stress of “keeping up with the Joneses” and the exhaustion of comparing yourself to standards that weren’t meant for you.
The song’s honesty resonates, the message doesn’t feel preachy or polished. It feels personal, like J’mall is sharing life lessons. The record’s quiet strength is its embrace of individuality and personal responsibility without pretending it’s easy.
