Released 26th August 2022 Rising from the ashes of Palma Violets, Gently Tender first begun as a reminder for Sam Fryer to treat himself more softly. Joined by his former bandmates Will and Pete, along with The Big Moon’s Celia Archer and guitarist Adam Brown, the band’s long-awaited debut album ‘Take Hold Of Your Promise!’ has been five years in the making, and marks a return to something slow and careful, rooted, and soulful.

Released 12th August 2022. Finally putting an end to years of swirling rumors and speculation, the collaboration is now officially announced: Danger Mouse & Black Thought bring us their debut album Cheat Codes. The natural chemistry between Brian (Danger Mouse) and Tariq (Black Thought) comes through in the ease with which the artist and listener move through this album. Moreover, it’s an album untethered to any genre, era or trend — uncategorizeable and timeless.  It is the sound of the ...

Released 22nd July 2022. SK says: "If the opening track of Dawes latest album 'Misadventures of Doomscroller' begins in typical fashion- Taylor Goldsmith's aphoristic, keenly observational songwriting; a tasteful guitar solo- it takes an intriguing turn midway through when a drum breakdown is followed by a fusion-y instrumental passage, which itself gives way to an anthemic coda featuring the fraternal harmonies which have persistently elevated their music over the last decade-plus. This thr...

Expected Release 8th July 2022. Found Light may be Laura Veirs’ 12th studio LP, but it also, in many ways, feels like her debut. If 2020’s My Echo—written and mixed just prior to her 2019 split from her longtime husband, her longtime producer, and the father of her two sons—was her divorce album, Found Light is about what comes after. Found Light is a liberating collection of inquisitive and surprisingly assured snapshots of healing and personal growth, and her very first release with co-prod...

Released 10th June 2022. Destroyer’s latest album, LABYRINTHITIS, brims with mystic and intoxicating terrain, the threads of Dan Bejar’s notes woven through by a trove of allusions at once eerily familiar and intimately perplexing. The record circuitously draws ever inward, each turn offering giddy surprise, anxious esoterica, and thumping emotionality at equal odds

Angel Olsen - Big Time

Released 3rd June 2022. SK says: "After the striking, cavernous 'All Mirrors', the singer-songwriter delivers a song-focused, country-inflected set that, despite the grief which inspires it, is fiercely resilient and optimistic. Immaculately produced by the great Jonathan Wilson and Olsen herself." Fresh grief, like fresh love, has a way of sharpening our vision and bringing on painful clarifications. No matter how temporary we know these states to be, the vulnerability and transformation the...

Released 3rd June 2022. Finding that luck, love and letting things roll works out for him just fine, Michael Head leads his Red Elastic Band into a fresh chapter with optimism and some of the best music of his career, announcing his new, Bill Ryder-Jones-produced album, Dear Scott will be released via Modern Sky UK. Operating as renewed friends, family and fearless communicators in sound, Head also leads close-knit band of brothers out on their first full UK Tour. Taking in cities from Glasgo...

Released 20th May 2022. Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever return in 2022 with Endless Rooms, the Melbourne quintet's third album proper. Described by the band – comprised of Fran Keaney, Joe White, Marcel Tussie and brothers Tom Russo and Joe Russo – as them "Doing what we do best: chasing down songs in a room together", Endless Rooms stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit and live power of RBCF. While initial ideas were traded online during long spells spent separated by lockdowns, ...
