The column where you can discover the best new artists of the moment is back with its third edition, because there is no greater feeling than starting to listen to someone when they're underground and then see them succeed. That's why here we are trying very hard to give the most notable musicians out now a launching pad where they can be seen by a wider, international audience.
So it's time to open your Spotify and get ready to save your next favourite act from the ones we have selected for you this month. Lythium

Their latest single 'Don't Ask' only came out on the 6th of August and has already been featured on triple j Unearthed, and if you know a bit about Ozzie radio, it's a pretty big deal. Here's what Self Talk vocalist Stacey says on the track 'Don't Ask': "'Don't Ask' originally started as a little add-on to our song 'Clean Washing'. I started playing the first verse as an intro to that song at shows. We eventually worked it into a full song and it became a kind of part 2 to 'Clean Washing', a bit of a resolution. It's about realising that some of the stuff you're fed growing up about being a successful woman is nonsense, about seeing yourself clearly and making your own rules." Self Talk are planning "to release more music in the not too distant future!". Genre: Pop, Punk, Rock For Fans Of: Tegan and Sara, Charly Bliss, Veruca Salt MKD
