LOCAL VALLEY calmly exhibits his singular ability to communicate with such modesty and power. Beginning with the sun-dappled ‘E...

Released 14th May 2021.

Expected Release 25th June 2021. Dinked Edition released 13th August. Maple Glider is Naarm/Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Tori Zietsch.

Striking emotionality is at the centre of this performance, leani...

Released 8th October 2021. ‘Lost In The Cedar Wood’, Johnny Flynn’s much-anticipated fifth album, is co-written with his friend Robert Macfarlane.  Johnny and Robert began work on the album in the first weeks of the pandemic, wanting to make music that sang of those dangerous, disorienting spring days; when birdsong was brighter –– and the sense of bewilderment more powerful –– thanany of us had known before. They drew inspiration in part from The Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest surviving work ...
