Lucy Gooch - Rain's Break EP
Released 25th June 2021.
“Perfect existential listening” The Guardian
Lucy Gooch’s music is a beautiful ethereal fog; like hearing a subliminal echo of
Kate Bush on a fading tape loop, masked by an internal wall of sound that
vibrates with the hum of everyday life. The ‘Rain’s Break’ EP is her first release
for Fire, following the much-touted ‘Rushing’ EP.
Inspired by the early technicolour films of Powell and Pressburger, Lucy uses
synthesisers and vocal layering to concentrate elements of each film’s score
and narrative into songs which move through different moods of yearning and
renewal.
So, it is amidst 1940’s austerity that these films were an escape, an over-rich
backdrop of possibilities. A snatched piece of dialogue, the film’s score, the
crackle of uncertainty all succumbs to the layered ambience of Lucy’s music as
she traces moods of yearning and renewal on ‘Rain’s Break’ EP.
“The moment is short, but Lucy Gooch’s music makes it last forever” NPR
Originally from Norfolk, Lucy studied Fine Art and later moved to Bristol to join
the emerging ambient scene there - gradually developing her writing and finally
releasing her debut ‘Rushing’ EP in early 2020. Over the past year, she’s dipped
into a wealth of long gone celluloid as the basis for a filmic journey, a five song
EP that relives formative movies in her unique take on ecclesiastical pop.
This is music that takes you places, shifts focus, paints large canvases.
“An unusually developed aesthetic vision, one that joins the atmospheric quality
of ambient music with the structure of choral composition and the seeming
effortlessness of pop.” Pitchfork

Expected Release 4th September 2026 Before Brian Eno did it, Mort Garson was making discreet music. Julliard-educated and active as a session player in the post-war era, Garson wrote lounge hits, scored the 1969 moon-landing and plush arrangements for Doris Day, and garlanded weeping countrypolitan strings around Glen Campbell's By the Time I Get to Phoenix. Now, 50 years after its original release, Mother Earth' Plantasia marks a major anniversary moment. Half a century on, it continues to r...

Expected Release 11th September 2026 Chopping Mountain, the new record by Ibibio Sound Machine is the clearest rendering yet of the London collective’s longstanding mission to promote love, unity, and resistance through music. It is the band’s sixth full-length record, and the first to feature the band’s Max Grunhard as producer since 2019’s Doko Mien. Following their Hot Chip-produced breakthrough Electricity (2022) and the darker, clubbier inflection of the Ross Orton-produced Pull the Rope...

Released 10th July 2026 The scope, variety and ambition of Ebbb’s debut album Shallow Hits is clear from the off. “Come Alive” whirs into being quietly before morphing into a sun-kissed, radiant piece of calypso-esque electronic pop; the Latin-flavoured “Now You Know” feels destined to soundtrack sun-drenched festivals this summer; “Shallow Hits” is as deft and detailed as it is big, bold and euphoric; while the wonky yet propulsive charge of “Side On” sounds like a drum ‘n’ bass club and chu...
