Vetchinsky Settings is the project of two artists who have created so many favourite records that reside in my collection. Vocalist James Hackett fronted The Orchids who shot to prominence with essential indiepop releases on Bristol label Sarah Records (The Orchids are still playing together) and multi-instrumentalist Mark Tranmer, creating incredibly gorgeous music as Gnac and with Montgolfier Brothers and Wingdisk. Their debut album, Underneath The Stars, Still Waiting, is emotive, atmospheric and incredibly cinematic. As well, debuts from Keeley Forsyth and Fran, plus Emily Barker returns home from the UK for a series of shows and a great new album in Shadow Box.

Our guest is Little Wise, the working name of songwriter Sophie Klein, who has been turning heads and melting hearts. Little Wise fuses Indie Folk-Rock with a damn good dose of Melbourne swagger and has released her follow up to her highly acclaimed debut, Silver Birch with Want It All. She pops by for a chat and performance. As well on this edition new music from Charm of Finches, Genni Kane, Jessica, Anna Cordell and Ruth Hazleton.
