Robert Plant - Saving Grace

Released 26th September 2025 Robert Plant’s Saving Grace is the first album featuring a new band of distinguished players, which he calls “a song book of the lost and found”.  The genesis of Saving Grace began during the lockdown in “The Shire”, when Plant’s customary wandering was all but forbidden.  While his recent adventures have centred around Nashville, having reunited with Alison Krauss for 2021’s chart-topping, multi GRAMMY-nominated Raise The Roof, it was in the English countryside t...

Released 26th September 2025 Its creation led by pure emotion, Cate Le Bon’s seventh record Michelangelo Dying usurped the album she thought she was making. The product of all-consuming heartache, her feelings overrode her reluctance to write an album about love, and in the process became a kind of exorcism. What emerges is a wonderfully iridescent attempt to photograph a wound before it closes up — but which in doing so, picks at it too.  Musically, there is a continuation and expansion of a...

Released 29th August 2025 SK says: 'Another corker from the peppy Kiwi indie quartet led by Liz Stokes. 2022's Expert in a Dying Field pitched Stokes' witty, vulnerable songwriting against power pop guitar rhythms and irresistible vocal harmonies to stunning effect. Tackling similar themes here, there's a layer of subtle experimentation and a strong jangle influence that makes this one a different but just as sweet pleasure.' Written in Los Angeles and self- recorded in the band's hometown of...

Released 22nd August 2025 SK says: 'After rescuing the lockdown summer with 2020's I Feel Alive, Montreal's TOPS return with their first full-length since. There are elements of the sleek 80s pop members Marta Cikojevic and David Carriere explored on their excellent side project outing as Marci, but the album's stars are singer (and sometime flautist) Jane Penny and bassist Riley Fleck, who spearhead the tongue-in-cheek pivot to "evil TOPS" with icy, lovelorn vocals and rumbling low-end that ...

Released 15th August 2025 Interior Live Oak draws from everything Cass has created over two decades of experimentation to cut through with a direct and clarifying light. Throughout, his attitude is hopeful, which may sound odd for someone who often sings about the more extreme aspects of modern life. Interior Live Oak, however, is the resolve of someone who has lived those extremes.  Named after a tree species native to Northern California, the album sees McCombs incorporate the more economic...

Released 2nd May 2025 SK says: 'Drawing elements of Chicago, Greg Phillinganes and Little River Band into Andy Platts & Shawn Lee's already refined blend of Hall & Oates blue-eyed soul, the acoustic funk of Ned Doheny and Michael McDonald-era Doobies piano bounce. Arranger Nicol Thomson's (Lee's collaborator in the instrumental funk outfit Superhighway Band) Earth, Wind & Fire horns elevate a number of tracks on an uptempo and, as the title suggests, hedonistic album which ranks a...

Released 4th April 2025 SK says: 'With Lifter Puller and The Hold Steady, Craig Finn has long been one of contemporary rock's finest lyricists but his latest solo effort puts him in rarefied air. Immaculate production from The War on Drugs' Adam Granduciel drives a song suite that spins one album-long tragi-comic tale of lapsed Catholics, people of substance and people with substances.' Craig Finn returns with Always Been, his first solo album since 2022. The album was produced by Finn's long...

Released 14th March 2025 Experimental composer and world class vocalist Circuit des Yeux (Haley Fohr) will release ‘Halo on the Inside,’ her adventurous new album on March 14th, marking a thrilling new era for the celebrated artist. Less a departure than an evolution, ‘Halo on the Inside' finds Fohr channelling the dark orchestral folk of her previous work through the prismatic lens of dark-wave and industrial music, creating a sound that maintains the poetic heart of her songwriting while pu...

Expected Release 21st March 2025 SK says: 'A kaleidoscopic record that showcases the breadth of Jim James' muse and the tightness of the band. "Everyday Magic" is underpinned by a monster guitar riff hook but is followed by a track which can only really be described as the Everlys do D'yer Mak'er, while "Time Waited" is built around cascading, Bill Evans-esque piano and "Squid Ink" is the kind of dramatic, dark wigout that adorned the band's early LPs. Ten studio albums in and in their third ...
