  • Postcard from Camille Trail: New Era, New Vibes, Zero Filter #227

    This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy sit down with one of Australia's most authentic indie voices: Camille Trail.

    Fresh off her bold 2026 return with the irresistible single "Postcard" (already getting Triple J love), Camille opens up about ditching major-label strings for full creative control, the gritty hustle of funding early recordings by selling cattle from her family station, and evolving from sultry country-blues roots (River of Sins era) to hooky indie-folk grooves like "twenties," "Gotta Get To Know You," and the magic-trick vibes of her recent EP.

    Expect zero-filter stories on:

    • The real cost (and payoff) of independence in 2026 — no hype, just heart

    • What it's like to reinvent without losing your soul (and why retro influences are fueling her new era)

    • Laughs, life lessons, and the unfiltered truth about chasing music when life's pulling you elsewhere

    Camille's music isn't just songs — it's stories you feel in your bones. If you're into raw songwriting, Queensland grit, and discovering talent before the world catches on, this one's for you.

This conversation explores the hard work behind the headlines — the late nights, regional tours, and the balancing act of being a proud mum of two while building a fast‑rising music career.

  • #222 Music You Don’t Just Listen to — You Explore: Jonah Kraut

    This episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered features a deep, thoughtful conversation between Curly and Braggy and Nashville‑based singer‑songwriter Jonah Kraut — an artist whose music invites you to explore rather than simply listen.

    Jonah joins the boys for an unfiltered discussion about depth in music, rhythmic patterns, and a songwriting process that unfolds without a fixed destination. Rather than chasing outcomes or expectations, Jonah speaks openly about trusting the song to reveal itself — and how music has the power to capture listeners quietly, often when they least expect it.



    • Why Jonah believes music is something you explore, not consume

    • Writing songs without knowing where they’re headed

    • The role of rhythm and repetition in creating emotional depth

    • Letting go of expectation and allowing music to work on its own terms

    • How songs capture listeners subconsciously rather than on demand

    • Jonah’s approach to listening deeply — as both a writer and a fan

    • Curly and Braggy unpacking why some music reveals more over time



    A central theme of this episode is Jonah’s belief that great songs don’t always start with a plan. He discusses writing as a process of discovery — following instincts, rhythms, and emotional cues rather than formulas.

    Curly and Braggy explore how this philosophy contrasts with modern content‑driven music culture, and why patience and openness can lead to deeper, more meaningful work.



    The conversation dives into how music doesn’t always deliver immediate impact — and why that’s a good thing. Jonah explains that music often works best when listeners stop expecting it to do something and instead allow it to exist.

    This episode reflects on how truly immersive music captures people quietly, slowly, and sometimes without them even realising it.



    If you love:

    • Thoughtful, introspective songwriting

    • Music that reveals itself over time

    • Conversations about rhythm, feel, and emotional depth

    • Artists who prioritise process over pressure

    This episode offers a rare, reflective look at how music can still surprise us.

    Quotes from the Episode

    • I feel like we have something original and unique... we've carved our own path and that's a bit of a blessing and a curse. 

    • Art is nothing but if not human, you know what I mean? 

    • If we're nothing, we're passionate about it. This means something, you know? 

    • The landscape out there at the moment has changed so much that you don't just need a video clip, you need to do all of these things. 

    • It's a bit of an Australian take—a very laconic Australian honesty—woven into the lyrics and the music.
