Released 2nd October 2026 SK says: 'The Stockport indie faves are back with a sixth album, this time helmed by Young Gun Silver Fox's silver fox, Shawn Lee, who brings his love of vintage gear and yacht rock and amps up the band's sense of humour and latent groove, both of which started to come to the fore on previous album 'Gary'. The result is a genuinely fun, funky, marriage-inspired record of big hooks, tall tales and foot-tappers.' Blossoms return with their 6th studio album, ‘Songs From...

Released 31st July 2026 SK says: "An intense and meaningful connection to the natural world is a hallmark of a Shearwater record- perhaps no surprise, bandleader Jonathan Meiburg is a qualified biologist and published author- and the songs here, augmented by birdcalls and field recordings, find it a theme that has become all the more urgent in a world of AI, deepfakes and political deception. Comparison to Talk Talk is almost irresistible, not just because of the aural similarity of Meiburg's...

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.
