indigiTUBE PULSE | First Sounds VOL.5 Released Today

FIRST SOUNDS VOL.5 launches another set of 12 tracks with an incredible diversity of sounds produced in various locations and languages. This new compilation features artists from Lutruwita (Tasmania), Kaurna (Adelaide), Meanjin (Brisbane) to Tamworth (Gomeroi), the Torres Strait Islands and stretching to Noongar plains (Perth). FIRST SOUNDS VOL.5 continues the pioneering of our First Nations music. From soul hip-hop to saltwater reggae, atmospheric electronica, Naaguja traditional dance songs and truth-telling punk rock.

Summer from Chasing Ghosts features on First Sounds Volume 5. Thungutti frontman Jimmy Kyle speaks and writes with a potent mind:

“It’s a massive honour to have Summer on First Sounds V5 because more people will remember the Towel Creek Massacre of 1856 in Thungutti Country and the Frontier Wars. I support and encourage all First Nations artists to continue to tell it straight and keep sharing the stories of our communities!”

Chasing Ghosts also released their brand new HOMELANDS EP today.

The First Sounds series is distributed to over 250 community radio stations and broadcasters. To date, FIRST SOUNDS has featured over 150 First Nations artists!

FIRST SOUNDS VOL.5 is a continuation of the partnership between First Nations Media Australia and Community Broadcasting Association of Australia, delivering more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music to community radio.
