Released 5th April 2024 Jose James - the forward-looking, genre-defying Jazz singer for the hip-hop generation - has done it again. 1978 (his 12th studio album since 2008's The Dreamer'') announces an instant classic, combining James' deep love of jazz and hip-hop with songwriting and production nods to R&B heroes Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson and Leon Ware. Produced by James and featuring an all-star ensemble, 1978 pulsates with the socially conscious feel-good vibes of Marvin Gaye, Prin...

Following 2020’s Automatic and 2017’s Phase, Chorus arrives as Mildlife’s most optimistic record, serving as a sonic testament to the band’s unwavering adoration for the beguiling realms of 70s psychedelic and cosmic sounds.“Chorus is about a coming together of disparate elements. Not in some sort of utopian aesthetic where every...

Released 1st March 2024 Sheer Mag have labored to carve out a discernibly singular position within the canon of contemporary rock: toggling with ease between the refined flourishes of a “connoisseur’s band” and the ecstatic colloquialism of populist songwriting—yet displaying no strict loyalty to either camp—their sound, while oft-referenced, is unmistakably and immediately recognizable as theirs alone. On Playing Favorites, Sheer Mag’s third full-length and first with Third Man Records, the ...

Expected Release 1st March 2024 SK says: 'Jonathan Higgs cements his place as one of modern indie's most innovative songwriters and vocalists, adding a strand of folk-horror to the blackly comic, Ballardian urban decay the Manchester math rock outfit have always chronicled. The titular mountain looms large over the entire song cycle as a cogent metaphor for immiserating economic growth and precarity. Alex Robertshaw's guitar and production spins almost-pop hooks out of some of Higgs' wordiest...

Released 16th February 2024 Serving up art-pop for the anthropocene, Springs Eternal is the Mercury-nominated, critically acclaimed artist William Doyle’s most ambitious and most playful creation to date. Taking a panoramic view of the ecstasies and agonies of life in the 2020s, the record asks how we exist as fragile flesh and blood – our hearts beating and our minds racing – in an unprecedented, almost unimaginable time of runaway climate destruction and technological expansion. Springs Ete...

Released 26th January 2024 SK says: 'Sam Herring picks over a disintegrating long-distance relationship with candour but he exercises vocal restraint, knowing exactly when to unleash his trademark growl over Gerrit Welmers' synth work, which at times owes as much to William Onyeabor as it does to OMD. William Cashion's bass alternates between Hooky-esque strums, locked in step with Mike Lowry's motorik rhythms, and taking the melodic lead on the album's slower numbers. It all adds up to their...

Released 26th January 2024 SK says: 'A masterfully crafted record which pulls together musical strands from his recent albums along with elements of Leonard Cohen, Brian Wilson and fellow countryman Carwyn Ellis's Rio 18 on personal and subtly political outing.' Incredibly, this  will be the 25th album Gruff Rhys  has released in his 35 year career individually, collaboratively and as a member of various bands. “Sadness Sets Me Free” is also the follow up to 2021’s “Seeking new Gods”, hi...

Released 12th January 2024 SK says: ''Iechyd Da' is the excellent new album from Wirral singer-songwriter/producer Bill Ryder-Jones. It marries the slowcore feel of his more recent albums with the aching balladry of sophomore record 'A Bad Wind Blows in My Heart' and the compositional depth and invention of his debut, the Italo Calvino-inspired 'If...' recorded with the Liverpool Phil. It's the former Coral guitarist's widest in scope yet, with a playfulness redolent of the Super Furries, Mer...
