Django Django are set to release their brand new album Marble Skies on Friday 26th January 2018, on Because Music.

Jen Cloher’s new video for single ‘Strong Woman’ was filmed just weeks ago in a London warehouse during a whirlwind sold-out tour of the UK and Europe. The video is the result of a back-to-basics approach – a two-camera crew captured Cloher and her band blitzing through one of the album’s highlights. The song itself […]
Hanne Hukkelberg releases her new album, and first in 5 years, Trust tomorrow. She has recently shared her video for latest single ‘Embroidery’.

May we present a one-two shot to the ribs from the Castle Face Records roster, a Thursday in Manchester, a Friday in London, spearheaded by those indefatigable and indispensable Oh Sees, a live force to be feared. Joined by white mages of healing and appealing frequencies Once and Future Band, underground pop wunderkind cum laude Kelley […]
The Pink Diamond Revue, a three piece project from outer-space via Reading, have created a mixture of heady electro and vintage blues.

Fronted by their leader Acid Dol (a model from […]
Other States have released ‘Annabei’, the B-side to their latest single ‘Come Back To Me’. Born from a 10 hour bus trip between Dallas and El Paso taken by writer-keyboardist Mike Lord, Other States is as much about place as it is sound, with songs weaved out of imagined tales from abandoned towns and wild […]
Sparked by an interest in the craft of solo performance, Islet member Mark Daman Thomas’s latest project Farm Hand takes his musical explorations into a more solitary terrain, drawing inspiration from his homeland in the sparsely populated hills of Mid-Wales. Freewheeling and full of deep, cyclical melodies, Farm Hand’s debut LP International Dreams, due Friday 3rd November 2017 on Shape Records, was […]
Louder Than Words celebrates that essential, magical relationship between music and writing. Whether it’s Guy Garvey talking lyrics; Edwyn Collins performing his own music or Hugh Cornwell talking about life in The Stranglers, the Festival has something for anyone with a love for music, and the way words are used to inform and contribute to […]
“The music industry really feeds toxic masculinity by putting male artists on a pedestal,” observes Slowcoaches vocalist / bassist Heather Perkins. “‘Complex’ is a response to the sexual assault allegations against artists that were in the press at the time I wrote it. There’s still a really dirty side to the industry – particularly with the […]
Reptaliens, the Portland husband-and-wife duo of Cole and Bambi Browning, share their breezy new single ‘666Bus’.
