Released 3rd April 2026 SK says: "A kaleidoscopic meditation on relationships, grief and neurodiversity, helmed by three exec producers who bring their own flavours and collaborators: hitmaker Greg Kurstin, Kenneth 'Kenny Beats' Blume (fresh from Geese's mega 'Getting Killed') and longtime mentor Flying Lotus.

The album, set in 4 “seasons” with each side of the vinyl being a different season, takes listeners on a sonic journey that begins with darkness and ends with light. “Music is medicine.

Release 27th March 2026 SK says: "Tom Misch slows things down on a first solo album in eight years, 'Full Circle'. Its mellow grooves lean into the adult contemporary balladry of John Mayer or Josh Rouse, while "Red Moon" recalls the Canyon breeze of early Jonathan Wilson and closing track "Days Of Us", built around a Philip Glass-esque saxophone line from jazz musician Kaidi Akinnibi, points to a fascinating future direction." Tom Misch’s long-awaited sophomore album Full Circle finds the Lo...

Released 27th March 2026 Sexistential is the most ecstatic record that Robyn has ever made, the sound of one of contemporary music’s most influential artists coming home. After the club music meditations of 2018’s Honey, the album features nine, deeply playful pop songs that tie back to her era-defining Body Talk trilogy, designed to feel “like a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing”, she says. “That’s how I felt, like I’d had all these experiences ...

Released 27th March 2026 Snail Mail — the project of Lindsey Jordan — announces her highly anticipated third album, Ricochet, due out March 27 on Matador Records. Her first album in five years, she returns with a renewed sense of clarity and control, asserting herself as a generational songwriter with a sharpened perspective. While her early work chronicled the emotional turbulence of young love, Ricochet reveals a deeper fixation: time, mortality, and the quiet terror of watching the things ...

Released 20th March 2026 Change, they say, is the only constant in life. Fittingly, multi‑hyphenate musician Avalon Emerson sounds at home harnessing the steady flux of her existence on Written into Changes, the memoiristic second album released under her Avalon Emerson & the Charm moniker. A work of rigorous invention and revision, the album’s themes of personal and relationship evolution “came into clarity after they were all done,” according to Emerson. The making of Changes was, appro...

Released 30th January 2026 SK says: "An accomplished debut from the Los Angeles-based vocalist whose keening croon and throaty roar variously recalls Roy Orbison, John Lennon and Harry Nilsson. Lending the album further throwback heft is the presence of 70s-analogue-loving producer Jonathan Rado (Foxygen) making this a must for fans of The Lemon Twigs and Weyes Blood." Tyler Ballgame’s stunning debut, For the First Time, Again, is a bracing reminder of how great songs delivered by a gifted vo...

Released 17th October 2025 SK says: "TWIABP follow 2021's sprawling, proggy Illusory Walls with a complete volte face- a streamlined, punishing metalcore album with screamed vocals courtesy of guests from the likes of Full Of Hell and END (even chief vocalist David Bello, one of the scene's mellower singers, has a noticeably angrier delivery!) Still full of the strong imagery and thoughtful political critique that has always elevated the Connecticut band's work but foregrounding guitarist Chr...

Released 12th September 2025 SK says: 'Beats courtesy of star producer Paul Epworth give Baxter Dury fresh impetus and as close to a pop album as the London wordsmith can muster. The album's title-track spins a tale of being stood up in a bleak chain pub, cleverly contracted into more salubrious sounding environs, especially cooed in the Estuary accent of frequent collaborator JGrrey. "Return of the Sharp Heads" boasts a nightmarishly woozy bassline that his old man's sparring partner Norman ...

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...
