Artist who has followed his own path—moving easily between psychedelic pop, post-punk, garage rock, glam, folk and the melodic pull of classic songwriting.

The Cat’s Miaow            When You Smiled And Turned Away

Surprise Chef                 Frogs in a Pond             

Drums, electric bass, electric and nylon-string guitars, piano, clavinet, ARP Odyssey, vibraphone and tuned wood blocks come together to create an intimate, richly textured sound inspired by the small ensembles favoured by European film composers of the ’60s and ’70s.

Tommy Lefroy                 The Precariat  

Written over six years the album takes its name from the economic term describing a growing class of people living with increasing instability and uncertainty.

Daniel Pickard               Behaviour         

Eccentric synth pop and a deep dive into his subconscious and the characters he’s dreamt up — people who disgust him, who make him nervous, who he used to know, or who taught him to steer clear of their version of being a man. He critiques them, only to realize how self-deprecating it is to relate to some of them with muted admiration.

Allvei    Allvei
