Released 12th April 2024 'San Vito' is the new album from the Ivor Novello award-winning & multi-platinum selling UK indie-pop band The Feeling.

The band brought in local brass, strings and pizzica / tarantel...

Released 12th April 2024 Sometimes you have to move backwards to move forwards. Just ask punk cultural commentators BODEGA, whose new album sees them carve a new future from fuzz-soaked, consumerism-skewering shards of their past. ‘Our Brand Could Be YR Life’ is BODEGA's first album release through Chrysalis Records. “It’s something we’ve been wanting to do for years,” guitarist and vocalist Ben Hozie explains of ‘Our Brand Could Be Yr Life’ – a collection of catchy indie-rock ruminations on...

Released 5th April 2024 Khruangbin’s fourth studio album, A LA SALA (“To the Room” in Spanish), is an exercise in returning in order to go further, and doing so on your own terms. It continues the mystery and sanctity that is the key to how bassist Laura Lee Ochoa, drummer Donald “DJ” Johnson, Jr. and guitarist Mark “Marko” Speer approach music. If 2020’s Mordechai, the last studio LP Khruangbin made without collaborators, was a party record that enhanced the band’s musical reputation far and...

Released 1st March 2024 Sheer Mag have labored to carve out a discernibly singular position within the canon of contemporary rock: toggling with ease between the refined flourishes of a “connoisseur’s band” and the ecstatic colloquialism of populist songwriting—yet displaying no strict loyalty to either camp—their sound, while oft-referenced, is unmistakably and immediately recognizable as theirs alone. On Playing Favorites, Sheer Mag’s third full-length and first with Third Man Records, the ...

Expected Release 1st March 2024 In another world, society has built an immense mountain. To make the mountain bigger, they must make the hole they live in deeper and deeper. All of society is built around the creation of the mountain, and a mountain religion dominates all thought. At the top of the mountain is rumoured to be a huge mirror that reflects endlessly recurring images of the self, and at the bottom of the pit is a giant golden snake that is the primal fear of all believers. A “Moun...

Released 16th February 2024 Serving up art-pop for the anthropocene, Springs Eternal is the Mercury-nominated, critically acclaimed artist William Doyle’s most ambitious and most playful creation to date. Taking a panoramic view of the ecstasies and agonies of life in the 2020s, the record asks how we exist as fragile flesh and blood – our hearts beating and our minds racing – in an unprecedented, almost unimaginable time of runaway climate destruction and technological expansion. Springs Ete...

Released 26th January 2024 SK says: 'Sam Herring picks over a disintegrating long-distance relationship with candour but he exercises vocal restraint, knowing exactly when to unleash his trademark growl over Gerrit Welmers' synth work, which at times owes as much to William Onyeabor as it does to OMD. William Cashion's bass alternates between Hooky-esque strums, locked in step with Mike Lowry's motorik rhythms, and taking the melodic lead on the album's slower numbers. It all adds up to their...

Released 26th January 2024 SK says: 'A masterfully crafted record which pulls together musical strands from his recent albums along with elements of Leonard Cohen, Brian Wilson and fellow countryman Carwyn Ellis's Rio 18 on personal and subtly political outing.' Incredibly, this will be the 25th album Gruff Rhys has released in his 35 year career individually, collaboratively and as a member of various bands. “Sadness Sets Me Free” is also the follow up to 2021’s “Seeking new Gods”, ...

Released 12th January 2024 SK says: ''Iechyd Da' is the excellent new album from Wirral singer-songwriter/producer Bill Ryder-Jones. It marries the slowcore feel of his more recent albums with the aching balladry of sophomore record 'A Bad Wind Blows in My Heart' and the compositional depth and invention of his debut, the Italo Calvino-inspired 'If...' recorded with the Liverpool Phil. It's the former Coral guitarist's widest in scope yet, with a playfulness redolent of the Super Furries, Mer...

Released 5th January 2024 SPRINTS' debut album ‘Letter to Self' embodies their substantial evolution over the past 3 years. Transforming pain into truth, passion into purpose and perseverance into strength, the Dublin four-piece have steadily grown in stature, releasing two acclaimed EPs and building a fearsome live reputation. 'Letter to Self' is the sound of SPRINTS consolidating and levelling up. Exhibiting their most vulnerable moments and imbuing their visceral garage-punk with a pal...
