Released 26th June 2026 Muse are a culturally-attuned, genre-defying band who channel the anxieties of each era—technology, power, rebellion, and identity—into maximalist, stadium-ready rock that evolves with the times while staying unmistakably Muse. Kicking off with new single “Be With You,” this next era of Muse is rooted in electronic experimentation and an insatiable curiosity. ‘The WOW! Signal’ represents a world of cosmic mystery, existential hope, and the exhilarating possibility of c...

Released 26th June 2026 For more than 30 years, Beth Orton has been our antenna to the cosmos, the poet laureate of forces too vast to take in all at once. A testament to her artistry, ‘The Ground Above’ is Orton’s most direct and unapologetic music to date; urgent, raw, embodied and emotionally fearless, moving between subconscious expression and expansive, timeless song craft. Her voice, from whispered incantation to primal wail, equally delivers melodies reminiscent of classic songbook for...

Released 26th June 2026 The Indigenous fronted punk band from Denver CO unleash their third album ‘Wagon Burner’.

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...
