Alex Cameron - Oxy Music
Released 11th March 2022.
Alex Cameron has always been a great storyteller, finding his ways into the depths of the places where not many others are looking, and Oxy Music continues on that trajectory. It’s filled with stories of people who fall outside the system and exist in the grey areas of life. And much like 2017’s Forced Witness, Oxy Music is a work of fiction. In its design - its music, lyrics and tracklist - lies the journey a person can take, if the circumstances present themselves - down the road of heavy drug and alcohol abuse. Initially inspired by Nico Walker’s Cherry, Cameron was spurred into yet another commentary on American Life, this time about the opioid crisis that has taken over the country. Alex says about Oxy Music: “The album is a story, a work of fiction, mostly from the perspective of a man. Starved of meaningful purpose, confused about the state of the world, and in dire need of a reason to live - a person can, and according to the latest statistics, increasingly will, turn to opioids. This is one of those people.” While Oxy Music could be dark, it’s instead brighter and more buoyant than much of Cameron’s previous work, a shift in mood first seen across 2019’s Miami Memory. It’s told from a place of optimism and through the lens of Cameron, in the way that only he can tell it.

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 4th April 2025 SK says: 'With Lifter Puller and The Hold Steady, Craig Finn has long been one of contemporary rock's finest lyricists but his latest solo effort puts him in rarified air. Immaculate production from The War on Drugs' Adam Granduciel drives a song suite that spins one long tragi-comic tale of lapsed Catholics, people of substance and people with substances.' Craig Finn returns with Always Been, his first solo album since 2022. The album was produced by Finn's long time ...

Expected Release 21st March 2025 SK says: 'A kaleidoscopic record that showcases the breadth of Jim James' muse and the tightness of the band. "Everyday Magic" is underpinned by a monster guitar riff hook but is followed by a track which can only really be described as the Everlys do D'yer Mak'er, while "Time Waited" is built around cascading, Bill Evans-esque piano and "Squid Ink" is the kind of dramatic, dark wigout that adorned the band's early LPs. Ten studio albums in and in their third ...

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...
