Lemoncello Perfect Place
Where the Irish alt-folk duo’s debut centred on intimate guitar-and-cello arrangements, this ten-song collection broadens into full-band recordings, synthesisers and electronic percussion alongside piano and concertina. Thematically, it explores how wider cultural instability filters into personal relationships – how external pressures surface in friendships and romantic bonds.
Aldous Harding Train on the Island
Her fifth album is co-produced by John Parish and features pedal steel player Joe Harvey-Whyte, harpist Mali Llywelyn, synth artist Thomas Poli, drummer Sebastian Rochford (Polar Bear) and Huw Evans (H. Hawkline) on bass, vocals, acoustic/electric guitar and organ.

The Loft Badges
As pioneers of an entire genre, they have nothing to prove – neither to themselves nor to anyone else – and that ease and quiet confidence resonate through every song on the album.
Abigail Lapell Shadow Child
Folk singer with an album written during pregnancy. It is a nine-song cycle that approaches motherhood obliquely, avoiding sentimentality.

This debut collection captures a raw and intimate period of radical self-reinvention for McNally, marking his return to music after nearly a decade of silence, with the core theme of the record being his late coming out story and reconciliation of hetero/homonormativity.
Brother Wallace Electric Love
A body of work fueled by gospel roots and classic soul lineage (Sam Cooke, Little Richard, Southern soul greats) while refusing to live in nostalgia.
Hooper Super Duper
Drawing from the melodic, story-rich tradition of ’60s singer-songwriters and filtering it through a scrappy, imperfect ’90s lens.
Broken Social Scene Remember The Humans
Across the twelve tracks the arrangeme
nts are dense and enveloping – a lattice of horns, guitars, voices, and electronics – yet melody always remains sovereign, reminding us always that there are human hands on the controls and that, however artful, this is still rock and roll.
The Haunted Youth Boys Cry Too
The record explores themes of masculinity, mental health and emotional honesty, pairing intimate songwriting with indie-pop arrangements.
Rosenthal Luna
Rosenthal seeks to share a feeling, an atmosphere, a state-of-being through sound, via edgy, grunge laden and dreampop style landscapes, as deep echoing basslines, venture into the industrial.

Champions of a sound that fuses precision brutality with increasingly dynamic songwriting, they‘ve evolved from underground slam pioneers into a globally recognized, forward-driving powerhouse.
Bosh Rothman Joshua EP

Rikas Bedroom Tapes EP
German band whose signature sound channels a warm, 60s-inspired spirit.
Rural France Sloths
It’s easily their most high-fidelity record to date, yet still retains the buzzes, hums and little freak-outs that stick to the duo’s original “Pavement playing Teenage Fanclub” mission statement.
Red Vanilla Where I Should Be EP
Their dense, guitar-driven sound is elegantly wrapped in ‘90s inspired pop-hook vocals.
Yoth Iria Gone With The Devil
Hellenic black metal group. With its windswept intro, rock-steady snap, jubilant solo and duelling harmonies, album opener “Dare To Rebel” is a useful pointer to the more accessible, classic heavy metal influences of Gone With The Devil.

A synthesis of the sensibilities of several wildly divergent musical backgrounds.

Samplers, broken electronics, tape loops, and heavily distorted guitars form the backbone of a sound that is as confrontational as it is immersive.

Rexoria Fallen Dimension
The band blends heavy metal, power metal, symphonic, cinematic and electronic influences into a unified sound.
Thee Johnny Casino Syndicate Une Nuit a Rennes
This is not a polished live album. There’s no mixing desk, no post-production finesse. What you hear is exactly what happened that night, a chaotic, electrifying document where the sound surges and rattles like a runaway train, at times veering into disjointed, almost psychedelic territory.
Wooden Overcoat Hello Sunbeam EP
The Portland band mix the sun-drenched textures of 60s garage rock with the restless energy of raw fuzzed-out modern indie spirit.
A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers Towers of Silence
Imagine something between OM, Swans, Sumac, free jazz and drone doom, long-form pieces that move from fragile beauty to absolute sonic collapse.
Dead Stilettos Dodge Job
A fast-paced, driving punk/garage rock track relying heavily on distorted guitars, a repetitive, high-energy bassline, and aggressive drumbeats, giving it a raw, urgent and anxiety-inducing feel. Thematically, it touches on the Chernobyl disaster, abstract paranoia, invasion, and an encroaching threat.
