Young Gun Silver Fox - Pleasure
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 as the best yet from modern yacht rock's premier firekeepers.'
Taking their name from Andy’s standing as youngest band member and Shawn’s resplendent silver locks, the duo bond over a shared love of the smooth sounds of ’70s pop-soul and Ned Doheny, Hall & Oates, Steely Dan.
‘Pleasure’ took on a different and more personable recording process, after four albums with both musicians laying down ideas in their own studios and sending files back and across via email. Shawn in London and Andy in Norfolk, this album Shawn travelled to Andy’s studio The Prairie for four days in December 2024 and back again in January 2025.
The duo commenced furiously writing & recording ideas from a completely blank slate. Over half of the album's 10 songs were birthed from these in-person sessions. This was a real game changer and evolution of the game for Andy and Shawn.

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...

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...
