Pat yourselves on the backs, readers, we made it through 2015 and in one piece, no less. Having survived a month’s worth of end-of-year lists, it’s now time to get started on what we’re looking forward to in 2016.

Yes, we’ve just been through all this, but you may be heartened by the fact that this year will see the release of some absolutely cracking records, including some long-awaited debuts and many an eagerly anticipated follow-up.

DMA’s, Dorsal Fins, Violent Soho, Flume, Wolfmother, L-FRESH THE LION, and Client Liaison – these are just some of the great Aussie acts putting out albums this year and no doubt King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have a record or three coming out too (hint: they do).

So, without further ado, these are the Aussie albums we’re looking forward to in 2016.
