The songs in today’s first hour are particularly gorgeous. The artists come from Melbourne, Wollongong, the south coast of New South Wales, Brisbane, New Zealand, England, North Carolina and Toronto; sing in pop, indie, folk, alt-country, blues, roots and alt-rock styles; and variously identify as lesbian, bisexual, pansexual and straight.
