Comprising two couples, the Fergussons and the Welchmans, Brisbane's The Double Happiness call their sound "Surfgaze"- a mix of reverb-soaked surf-rock guitar twang and the gauzy textures of the indie shoegaze bands they love, such as Slowdive and Ride.

We''ll hear two tracks from them today alongside gems from Dunedin singer/ songwriter Maxine Funke and the late New York producer, Arthur Russell.
