There’s plenty of excellent examples of Australian music TV — from Countdown to the beloved Recovery to ABC’s recent joyfully chaotic The Set — but The Sound, ABC’s new hour-long weekly show produced in conjunction with Mushroom, is carving out something entirely new, and completely breathtaking.

Perhaps more than any other music show in recent years, The Sound emphasises the power of performance above all other elements. Transformational, comforting, uplifting, sorrowful — all the aspects of physical performance and connection that we’re currently deprived of. For that reason, it feels like totally necessary viewing right now.
