Sons of Town Hall Of Ghosts and Gods
It’s part folk record, part storytelling adventure that evokes Tom Waits-like lyricism and Everly Brothers-style harmonies while featuring atmospheric strings arranged by Will Robertson, horns played by Jordan Katz (De La Soul, Father John Misty, Macy Gray) and the imaginative textures of percussionist and drummer Mathias Kunzli (Regina Spektor). Adding to the intrigue, the duo has launched the Madmen Cross the Water podcast. Hosted by fictional superfan and self-appointed band archivist, Elias B. Worthington (played by British actor Oliver Maltman), each episode in the first season tells the adventures behind the songs on the new album.
Kunde Late Bloomer
A quietly immersive record that moves between jazz, hip-hop, R&B and psychedelic textures, balancing analogue warmth with subtle digital detail. Lyrically and thematically, it’s a reflective album, shaped by personal stories around identity, memory, loss and belonging.
Umut Adan & Zebânis Sale Marino
It fuses protest folk with Anatolian psych, electronics, and field recordings — a transnational sonic collage that feels psychedelic in scope, poetic in tone, hypnotic in flow, and ultimately danceable, whilst making a cohesive, anti-nostalgic statement.
Flying Lotus Big Mama EP
It captures Ellison in a moment of spontaneous, unbridled momentum. Densely packed with disparate sounds, rhythms, and effects, the EP delivers what he describes as “experimental, maximalist, hyperfast, electronic burst of energy”, packing seven dynamic tracks into a single continuous composition in which every bar is unique, containing no loops throughout.
Sarah Jane Morris The Sisterhood 2
Second instalment in a cycle of songs paying tribute to some of the greatest female singer-songwriters, this time consisting of Patti Smith, Sinéad O’Connor, Peggy Seeger, Etta James, Joan Baez, Dolly Parton, Bonnie Raitt, Joan Armatrading, Janis Ian, Tracy Chapman and Amy Winehouse. The album is released to coincide with International Women’s Day.
Squeeze Trixies
A collection of songs set in a fictional nightclub written when Difford was 19 and Tilbrook 16, a time when their vision exceeded their virtuosity. Fifty years on, they bring these songs to life.
The Delines The Set Up
In some ways a sister album to ‘Mr Luck & Ms Doom’ but with the focus on the drug addled, grifters and the lost rather than romance.
Bonnie “Prince” Billy We Are Together Again
Oldham notes: “This record was made closer to the Ohio River than any I’ve been involved with since 1993’s Palace Brothers There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You. Louisville’s current-and-past vital musical community is highlighted on every song.”
New Age Doom & H.R. Angels Against Angels
Musically the album explores the harder sides of New Age Doom’s sound, including punk rock, prog metal and post rock, while also returning to the chill dub vibes of 2021’s Lee Scratch Perry’s Guide to the Universe.
Tanya Tagaq Saputjiji
On this new album, Tagaq ventures further with ambient, electronic and filmic sound design elements. From pulsing trip-hop ambience to sonic turbulence, Tagaq’s palate is acidic, tarry, and dissonant, a mouthful of soil contaminated by the poisons of violence, conflict and economic exploitation.
Autumn Owls Here in the Bardos
An album trying to make sense of death and the ghosts of adolescence. Its songs trace young lovers around old streets, and their medium-sized beliefs.
The Darts Halloween Love Songs
All-women garage rock band. Musically, the album sits in a gritty, late-night garage-punk lane with roots in swagger and fuzz, pulling from The Cramps, Mudhoney, The Seeds, and the darker edge of bands like Death Valley Girls and Dead Weather.
Shelailai Iittle Miss Crazy B!tch EP
Across six tracks, it moves between fun, character-led rapping and hard-hitting delivery.
Kye Alfred Hillig The All-Night Costume Company
Sharp, melodic indie rock with alt-country roots, anchored by haunting guitar leads and classic-style male/female harmonies.
Mother Crone Inner Keep
The band weave a progressive/post-metal tapestry that shifts seamlessly between doom, thrash, and groove.
Agabas Hard Anger
A union of death metal and jazz with the influence of Meshuggah, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Gojira is unmistakable, but so too is the freeform intensity of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, and Miles Davis.
Joshua Idehen I know you’re hurting, everyone is hurting, everyone is trying, you have got to try
A sonic embrace for the weary, mixing house-inflected beats, choral flourishes, and lyrical meditations on hope, self-worth, and collective resilience.
Los Frankies D.E.D City
Guitarist and vocalist Frankie Clarke (of Frankie and the Studs) brings the grit, glam, and guitar heroics — a full-throttle mix of Johnny Thunders’ swagger and no-bullshit attitude. Frontman and guitarist Frankie Salazar leads with unrelenting ferocity,
Surfbort Reality Star
It’s a rallying cry to laugh through the pain, to be a rebel in a world that keeps trying to bring you down, and to have a good time doing it with pounding energetic drums, raucous guitars, and a contagious sense of unity.
Murkage Dave Brut Thoughts
Sonically, Brut Thoughts sits between outsider pop and political realism, a cathartic soundtrack for life in late capitalism, drawing inspiration from Talking Heads, Sampha, The Smiths, and The Streets.
Charlotte Sands Satellite
On her debut album, Sands pushes her alt-pop sound even further, weaving together soaring melodies, razor-sharp lyrics, and punchy production.
Clouds Taste Satanic Berlin 2023
Recorded at Big Snuff Studios in Berlin in May 2023, the album is a no-overdub, live-in-the-room document of the band’s European tour setlist from that year, capturing their sound at its most raw, direct, and immediate.
Endearments An Always Open Door
Nine tracks of emotionally dense and instrumentally lush synth-backed indie rock.
Prong Live and Uncleansed
Recorded over seven nights in July and August 2025, they are now ready to present eleven powerful live songs (plus three live bonus tracks), all pure and unadulterated, authentic and honest.
Bosse-de-Nage Hidden Fires Burn Hottest
Post-black metal band whose latest sought sprawl, strangeness, fewer rules. Space for ideas to develop without rushing them. Dynamics that move through quiet as much as noise. Presence earned through atmosphere instead of volume.
Mute Swan Skin Slip
Second album from Tucson, AZ-based shoegaze/dream-pop project.
Savage Beat Bright Lights, Tall Shadows
A loud blend of late ’70s punk rock, high-energy rock ’n’ roll and Oi influences, built for big riffs and choruses that stick.
Those Who Walk Away Afterlife Requiem
Drone, electroacoustics, and near-silences extracted from unfinished recordings on Jóhannsson hard drives, underpin two string quintets—Ghost Orchestra (Reykjavík) and Possible Orchestra (Winnipeg)—processed and erased in a doleful durational work.
Natalie Jane Hill Hopeful Woman
Hill’s voice is redolent of Hope Sandoval and Karen Dalton.
Dutch Interior It’s Glass EP
Band that tread the line between traditional country sounds and introverted slowcore
Life Aquatic Band Stuck in the Mud EP
Known for their high-energy, genre-hopping live shows, LAB have honed their sound into something tighter, darker and more dancefloor-focused, drawing on the energy of acts like DEVO, The B-52’s, LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip and Fat Dog.
Andrew MacKelvie’s Many Worlds Many Worlds
Embracing elements of free jazz, early fusion, folk, R&B, “American” minimalism, and various strains of out rock, their collective sound is convivial but curious, reflecting its members’ assortment of experience and interests.
Cobra Torn
With catwalk-ready basslines, clashing electronics, and hushed vocals, Torn is a multidimensional self-portrait that’s at once raw and theatrical.
Book of Churches Book of Churches
Debut album from Divorce guitarist/songwriter Felix Mackenzie-Barrow. The result is a timeless minimalism in the tradition of folk singer-songwriters like Nick Drake and Fionn Regan, or Leonard Cohen.
Molly Vulpyne Band Houndstooth and the Hum
Their sound refuses to be boxed in, part punk, part alternative, part melodic, part chaos and raw emotion.
Rosa Faenskap Ingenting forblir
Fusing frostbitten tremolo, shoegaze shimmer, hardcore urgency, and a sharpened black-metal core, the album confronts fascism, environmental collapse, queer liberation, and existential dread with both fury and fragile introspection.
