My New Band Believe                My New Band Believe

It is as epic and ritzy as Cameron Picton’s previous work in black midi but its sound is fleet-footed rather than scorching. The record is almost entirely acoustic, using the barest amount of reverb and electronic effects possible.

Juni Habel         Evergreen In Your Mind            

The album exists in two worlds at the same time. Songs were recorded in quiet corners of her home, on the piano in the school where she works, and it uses the physical world around her to provide percussion.

Wesley Joseph               Forever Ends Someday            

Across the album, Joseph draws from an array of influences that have shaped his artistic DNA: soul and R&B that soundtracked his upbringing, the omnipresence of rap, and the alternative electronic and psychedelic records discovered during hours spent online as a teenager.

Fauna   Taiga Trans       

Gothenberg-based eight-piece outernational collective mixing krautrock pulse, psychedelic ritual, and underground rave energy. It radiates a multi-cultural, multi-dimensional sound and vision that feels equally rooted and otherworldly.

Remastered version of their 1982 classic which saw them uniquely melding philosophical thinking with a burgeoning pop sensibility.

Joe Jackson      Hope and Fury              

Nine songs overflowing with great tunes, clever and original lyrics, and funky grooves, with Jackson’s vocals and keyboard playing as strong as, if not stronger than, they’ve ever been

Police Dog Hogan         The Light at the Top of the Stairs         

Bluegrass / country-pop act meditates on the passing of time.

Matt Cardle      The Great Escape        

His first album in seven years stretches from modern pop and soul to indie rock balladeering.

Bristol alt-rock band inspired by the emotionally charged, quiet/loud and sometimes frenetic dynamics of the late ‘90s/‘00s US alternative/emo scene.

Flore Laurentienne       Volume III         

Rooted in the Québec landscape, a harmonious blend of strings and analog synthesizers takes us on a journey to the edge of the sublime.

Inferi    Heaven Wept  

The latest album from extreme death metal band.

Sarah & Collin                This Time          

The duo make music that lives in the tension between light and shadow, a place where atmospheric alternative-indie, industrial edges and cinematic psych-rock coalesce into something neither fully of this world nor outside it.

Holly Humberstone      Cruel World    

Entering Cruel World, Holly escapes into a dark fairytale world of her own making, where childhood relics, monsters and memory collide.

Somewhere between the stark country rock of Uncle Tupelo, the raw intimacy of early Cat Power, and the haunted landscapes of Magnolia Electric Co., while embracing the self-possessed noisiness of alt-rock trailblazers like Built to Spill and The Breeders.

Kit Grill               Andøya              

Evocative ambient, drone, minimalism, experimentalism & modern classical music; a beautifully stark, stirring exploration of sound, solitude, nature & perception.

Ella Langley      Dandelion        

Country singer with her most personal record to date.

Gnod    The Chronicles of Gnowt Vol. 1           

First part in a trilogy. Now as ever a band to draw a myriad invocations from one chord.

Punchbag          I Am Obsessed EP       

The duo’s sibling chemistry and unfiltered energy have earned a reputation for turning rooms into something closer to group therapy than a gig – a visceral, communal thrill and a celebration of feeling too much, all at once.

Savage Imperial Death March               Savage Imperial Death March              

Eight track album on which The Melvins and Napalm Death join forces.

Franck Carducci           Sheeple            

Blending classic progressive rock influences with a modern, theatrical edge, the album showcases Carducci’s virtuoso guitar work, powerful songwriting and distinctive lyrical voice.

Sugar Horse     Not A Sound In Heaven            

A politically charged wrecking ball of a song that smashes its way through the often-unbelievable chaos and brutality of the 21st century with vitriolic malice.

Fumitake Tamura          Mijin    

The album begins with the most minimal piano chords then develops by reconstructing fragments of voice and percussion, Rhodes and synths along with traces of jazz and soul.

T’Pau    Be Wonderful  

First album in 20 years from pop legends.

The Itch              It’s The Hope That Kills You    

Pairing undulating dancefloor fillers with disenchanted pop songwriting, they have captured a moment in time to conjure a debut offering which is both a product of and an antidote to an age of pessimism.

Jaguero               Make Me Feel Alive Again        

The album abandons rigid genre boundaries in favour of raw expression, blending punk urgency, grunge weight, and soaring melody.

Saavan               Pure     

A sonic palette liberated from conventions and inspired by the artists who have shaped the last decade. From Mount Kimbie and Bonobo for electronic music, to James Blake and Chet Faker for R\&B textures and emotion, Jadu Heart for smooth pop toplines, Tyler, The Creator for hip-hop and creative freedom, and Massive Attack for a psychedelic vibe.

Blush Puppy     Here You Dream EP    

A collision of emo, pop, grunge, alternative and metal is topped off with three-way harmonies.

The Maine         Joy Next Door 

Unsurprisingly for a band that’s always valued the artistry and craft of an album, the new LP was written and recorded in sequential order to emphasize the storytelling approach to the LP.

Lay Llamas       Time, Islands and Thresholds              

A profound, lysergic odyssey of otherworldly psychedelia, dub, esoteric exotica, outernational music and more.

Nick Fraser       Areas   

Fraser’s compositions here make excellent use of the band’s full sonic scope, from quiet to loud, from vigorous to tender and even from familiar usages of the instrumentation to conjuring highly unusual sonorities.

Harmonius Thelonius                 Grumpy Pieces             

Interlocking melodies, hypnotic patterns, a sustained focus on rhythm and texture, paired with a sound that is rougher, drier and more immediate than before.

Dagmar Zuniga              in filth your mystery is kingdom / far smile peasant in yellow music  

An atmospheric, devotional collage where one voice multiplies into a chorus of selves, sometimes delicate, sometimes severe; an effect created by Zuniga’s masterful layering of texture and complex harmonies.

A cathartic collage of black- and post metal, screamo, shoegaze, ambient, noise, and soul-crushing vocals.

The Appetizers               Keep Your Step             

Rock steady and early reggae band born in Milan in 2020, brought together by a crew of musicians deeply embedded in the Italian and international reggae scene for years. Different paths, shared vision: recreating that vintage Caribbean and American sound with authenticity, respect, and a forward-thinking edge.
