lilo - Blood Ties
Released 28th March 2025
One of the best new British bands around, lilo are releasing their debut album exclusively on vinyl first as a Dinked Edition, presenting it in a stunning mirri-board gatefold sleeve and pressing it on glass clear vinyl with a bonus 7” added.
Friends since meeting in their first week at secondary school, Christie Gardner and Helen Dixon write songs that cut deep, reflecting the life of twenty-somethings, in and out of love and luck. While informed by a deep love of folk music, with references to Karen Dalton and Judy Collins a regular occurrence, their music is also in line with the likes of Julia Jacklin, Laura Marling and Mitski.
Signed to Dalliance Recordings (Francis of Delirium, HighSchool, Gia Margaret, Rowena Wise), their debut album, ‘Blood Ties’ as its title suggests reflects the pair’s enduring bond after years spent together.
Coupling feelings of numbness, break-ups and hardship with day dreams, an open heart and moments of happiness, ‘Blood Ties’ is a record of understated beauty.
You start to understand the significance of the album more when you hear them describe it as “a little window into our lives that we get to keep forever.” Such is their symbiosis that it’s often difficult to separate one voice from another; “We live intertwined lives and as a result, we write about each others’ experiences as much as our own.”
‘Blood Ties’ feels a moment, placing lilo firmly on the map, the band now living up to the potential shown in their earlier EPs and live shows.

Released 14th November 2025 We are so honoured to bring you an official Dinked (Bootleg) Edition of Attempted Martyr, the debut LP from Dearborn experimental noise/post-punk band, Prostitute. Formed in 2020 in Michigan, and born out of the isolation of the COVID-19 lockdown, the album was written in the midst of global and personal turmoil, capturing the zeitgeist of a world unraveling. A loose concept record, it chronicles the rise and fall of a doomed zealot whose pursuit of holy vengeance ...

Expected Release 13th March 2026 “You’ve got to die and be reborn between albums,” begins Henry Wade, guitarist for The Orielles, describing the foundations of the band’s fourth studio album, Only You Left. “It comes naturally,” adds singer and bassist Esmé Hand-Halford, “it’s not something we consciously do.” Through this process of creative renewal, the Manchester-based trio – completed by drummer Sidonie Hand-Halford – have managed to weather a pandemic, defy the fickleness of a trend-led ...

Expected Release 27th February 2026 Geese’s Getting Killed lands like a seismic shock. Tracked in a whirlwind ten days in Los Angeles with producer Kenneth Blume (Kenny Beats), the band’s third album is a chaotic comedy, shambolic in structure but laser-focused in vision. It trades classic rock mythology for something stranger and more self-destructive, balancing big riffs and choir samples with lyrics about war, anxiety, and emotional ruin. The result is a jagged, joyfully unhinged triumph ...

Expected Release 16th January 2026 Courtney Marie Andrews has long been celebrated as an artist who challenges herself, and who finds new interplays of Folk and Americana. Also a vivid poet and accomplished painter, she brings a multidisciplinary richness to her work that shines throughout her 9th studio album, Valentine. Co-produced with Jerry Bernhardt and recorded almost entirely to tape, the album features complete in-studio performances that prize raw performance rather than perfection. ...
