Released 30th September 2022. It could only be called alchemy, the transformative magic that happens during the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ most tuned-in moments in the studio, when their unique chemistry sparks opens a portal, and out comes a song like “Maps” or “Zero” or the latest addition to their canon, “Spitting off the Edge of the World featuring Perfume Genius” — an epic shot-to-theheart of pure YYYs beauty and power. A thunderstorm of a return is what the legendary trio has in store for us on C...

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 21st October 2022. SK says: "The seasoned duo of Andy Platts and Shawn Lee deliver their strongest album yet as Nichol Thomson's ebullient horn lines elevate YGSF's fourth long-player into the stratosphere. "Tip Of The Flame" nods to Ned Doheny's dancefloor ready acoustic funk while "Rolling Back" recalls Hall and Oates at their hitmaking peak, and on "Sierra Nights" Platts conjures Don Quixote through the prism of America-esque west coast AOR." Andy Platts and Shawn Lee need no intr...

Expected Release 19th September 2025 Hailing from Brighton, indie rock quintet Youth Sector expertly balance astute political observations with campy indie romps. Inspired by the art school greats DEVO and Talking Heads, their music is a coiled spring of urgency and unpredictable energy that offers a sense of catharsis for the confusion of modern adult life.  Across their critically acclaimed EPs, the Brighton quintet have never revelled in bleakness, managing to twist everyday narratives int...
