The Heavenly Bodes    Green Hills      

Recorded on reel-to-reel in a friend’s living room between trips to the beach, it features a collection of lo-fi garage-psych numbers that vary in feel – sometimes twisting and erratic, sometimes sedated and meandering – but all drenched in tape hiss and left out on the pebbles to dry.

Sailing Stones                Slow Magic      

Their sounds summon up Bobbie Gentry’s country heat, Scott Walker’s gutsy spirit and Linda Perhacs’ uncanny beauty. Hazy woodwind, warm guitars and spacey electronics, fed into malfunctioning tape machines, weave together and glimmer.

Sienna Spiro    Visitor 

A high-concept and wholly elegant collision of rich soul and symphonic pop that explores the inherent fragility of life and love.

Ian Prowse        No Names        

“It’s rock, it’s roll, it’s Celtic soul,” says Ian. “Half the songs address the wider world; radical hope, protest songs if you like. The other half map out where my emotional life and memories are at in 2026.” It includes guest appearances from Elvis Costello and Damien Dempsey.

Akusmi               Terra Incognita              

Global and spiritual jazz are fused with modern electronics and life affirming minimalism on second album featuring Sarathy Korwar, Dudú Kouate and Marysia Osu.

Smirk   Speculative Fiction     

Smirk is slowing things down, taking a more measured, power-pop approach, and straying away from the speed-y punk that marked earlier releases.

PS Hit Squad   Life On Licence             

A strikingly introspective body-of-work that may prove to be the UK drill scene’s first true magnum opus.

Dolder                This Is How You See Me Know EP       

Twin sisters blending folk-leaning melodies with intimate, confessional songwriting.

Kiasmos             II Reworked     

A complete reimagining of their second album by Alex Somers, Rachika Nayar & Nina Keith (aka Disiniblud) and Kjartan Holm & Sin Fang.

Chris Murphy                  Songs From The Trees

A seven-song collection that weaves together Peter Gabriel – influenced world rhythms, ancient maritime sea shanties, gothic Appalachian tones, Chris Murphy’s haunting, poetic lyrics, and ethereal, emotionally charged fiddle.

daydreamers   Have You Tried Screaming?   

With huge hooks made for the stage, the record traces the messy journey of finding your place in the world, where late-night doubts collide with flashes of defiant hope.

Dominum          Night is Calling             

Blending substantial songwriting with heavy riffs and irresistibly catchy choruses, they have carved out their own thrilling niche between modern metal, horror aesthetics and arena-ready hooks.

Silka Weil          Midnight Blue EP         

Her music has drawn comparisons to artists as varied as PJ Harvey and Lana Del Rey for its ability to hold boldness and intimacy in the same breath.

Harsh   Feels   

Rising stars within the hard rock scene. The band from Paris revives their traditional sound with a modern twist and catchy melodies.

Deep Purple     Splat!  

Their heaviest album in years. Rather than treating the end as destruction, the album imagines it as transformation.
