Montaigne scores feature album spot as Aussie acts lead triple j adds

If you like your Aussie music played loud and often, then you might want to tune into triple j this week, who have added the likes of Montaigne, Sampa The Great, and Slowly Slowly to their playlist.

Following recent weeks which have seen huge names like WAAX and G Flip scoring the coveted honour, listeners this week are treated to the stunning Montaigne in triple j’s feature album spot, with Complex receiving plenty of love this time around.

Coming three years after the release of Glorious Heights, Complex serves as Montaigne’s second album, and features the likes of ‘For Your Love’, ‘Ready’, and ‘Love Might Be Found (Volcano)’.

Being released just last week, triple j describes Complex as “a snapshot of a young artist figuring out the world around them”, while noting that acclaimed production and a powerful performance serves up “songs that are self-aware, wise, and playful”.
