Released 5th June 2026 Death Cab for Cutie is one of the definitive indie-rock bands of the century. After twenty-odd years in the major label system, the band returned to their indie roots and signed with ANTI- Records and they're back with their brand-new eleventh album. I Built You A Tower is the sound of loss, compartmentalization, and then grief bursting out from the seams. It's also the sound of the growth that comes after falling apart, of acknowledging pain without letting it destroy ...

Released 5th June 2026 SK says: 'A Sam Burton-produced throwback which recalls the Laurel Canyon heyday of Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and Karla Bonoff. RIYL Natalie Prass, Angel Olsen and Davis's fellow LA revivalists Weyes Blood and Sylvie.' Haylie Davis channels the spirit of the early ’70s, when Carole King and Joni Mitchell redefined songwriting. That time-travelling sensibility is celebrated on Wandering Star, the album’s title track and new single, out today. A piano-led meditation ...

Released 5th June 2026 If – in some parallel universe (or perhaps a not-so-distant-future version of the one we’re already sentenced to living in) – the evil overloads of artificial intelligence were actually successful in their attempts to create convincingly enjoyable “original music,” more specifically tasked with wholly encapsulating my own personal tastes by data-chugging some cocktail of – oh, I don’t know – the posters on my wall, the records in my “most listened to” pile, the mixtapes...

Released 8th May 2026 SK says: 'Completing a trilogy of sorts for the Captured Tracks label which has seen the prodigiously talented D'Addario brothers focus their obvious musical chops into highly melodic throwback radio hits that could have arrived straight from the Golden Age of guitar pop, Look For Your Mind! is trippier than its predecessors, leaning more into the 60's end of their sound than the 70's they explored on A Dream Is All We Know. They've never shied from wearing their influen...

Released 1st May 2026 SK says: 'The godfathers of Midwest emo return with a third full-length since they reformed back in 2016. Having iterated and refined their trademark blend of cascading guitar arpeggios and dark lyrics burnished occasionally by vibraphones and trumpet across three albums in twenty-five years, LP4 sees them probe new ground with tasteful contributions from members of Turnstile and Rainer Maria. At times recalling the interlocking experimentation of fellow Chicagoans Torto...

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...
