Released 29th August 2025 SK says: 'Another corker from the peppy Kiwi indie quartet led by Liz Stokes. 2022's Expert in a Dying Field pitched Stokes' witty, vulnerable songwriting against power pop guitar rhythms and irresistible vocal harmonies to stunning effect. Tackling similar themes here, there's a layer of subtle experimentation and a strong jangle influence that makes this one a different but just as sweet pleasure.' Written in Los Angeles and self- recorded in the band's hometown of...

Released 15th August 2025 Interior Live Oak draws from everything Cass has created over two decades of experimentation to cut through with a direct and clarifying light. Throughout, his attitude is hopeful, which may sound odd for someone who often sings about the more extreme aspects of modern life. Interior Live Oak, however, is the resolve of someone who has lived those extremes.  Named after a tree species native to Northern California, the album sees McCombs incorporate the more economic...

Released 2nd May 2025 SK says: 'Drawing elements of Chicago, Greg Phillinganes and Little River Band into Andy Platts & Shawn Lee's already refined blend of Hall & Oates blue-eyed soul, the acoustic funk of Ned Doheny and Michael McDonald-era Doobies piano bounce. Arranger Nicol Thomson's (Lee's collaborator in the instrumental funk outfit Superhighway Band) Earth, Wind & Fire horns elevate a number of tracks on an uptempo and, as the title suggests, hedonistic album which ranks a...

Released 14th March 2025 Experimental composer and world class vocalist Circuit des Yeux (Haley Fohr) will release ‘Halo on the Inside,’ her adventurous new album on March 14th, marking a thrilling new era for the celebrated artist. Less a departure than an evolution, ‘Halo on the Inside' finds Fohr channelling the dark orchestral folk of her previous work through the prismatic lens of dark-wave and industrial music, creating a sound that maintains the poetic heart of her songwriting while pu...

Released 7th March 2025. Vinyl released 14th March. SK says: "Blistering debut from the Newcastle act which draws as much from the 70s fusion of Weather Report and Return To Forever as it does from the bass culture influence of contemporary British jazz." Knats is the band’s much anticipated self-titled debut album. It comes on the heels of an incendiary year for the band including supporting Geordie Greep (black midi) and playing as the backing band for R&B legend Eddie Chacon on UK tour...

Released 7th March 2025 SK says: "Isbell strips things back to acoustic guitar and voice on his most immediate and affecting set of songs since Southeastern. A timely reminder of his skill as a fluid but never showy guitar player and a sensitive but starkly realist songwriter." Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Jason Isbell is one of the most respected and celebrated artists of his generation. The North Alabama native possesses an incredible penchant for identifying and articulating some...

Released 21st February 2025 SK says: "The North Shields Springsteen teams up with another aficionado of the Boss, The War on Drugs' Adam Granduciel, for a blockbuster record that bears the latter's passion for 80s tones and meticulous production without diluting Fender's distinctive voice and unflinching but often poetic lyrics." Sam Fender’s third studio album, People Watching, released via Polydor Records on 21st February 2025 was written over the last 3 years and recorded in London and L.A...
