Released 16th July 2021. ‘Superwolves’ is the return of the legendary partnership that is Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and Matt Sweeney, lauded for their 2005 instant classic ‘Superwolf’. The songs that make up ‘Superwolves’ go boldly into undreamed-of places and go deep, as Matt and Bonny take all the musics they know to make songs that penetrate. In classic Garcia-Hunter style, Sweeney and the ‘Prince’ first work separately, finding a path to each other in their solitary imaginings. On this album,...

CD Released 9th April 2021. Vinyl Released 14th May 2021. Broken Mirror: A Selfie Reflection is a timely callout to the power of collaboration, of kindred spirits connecting in crowded rooms. More important, though, is this collision of two profoundly Southern artists, meeting to shed expectations of generation and genre, scene and situation and exchange truth, wisdom, and energy. The real world is more complicated than a pretty digital picture, bowdlerized of blemishes. As Broken Mirror: A S...

Released 26th February 2021. An album of our times, Newcastle band Maximo Park return with their seventh record Nature Always Wins. The album arrives as something of an examination, zeroing in on the notion of the self, identity as a band, and that of humanity as a whole. The album’s title nods to the famous Nature vs Nurture debate. Discussing whether change is capable under the influence of time, perspective, environment or if we are destined to be bound by our own genetics, it asks, “who a...

Released 19th May 2023 SK says: 'After an impressive run on Paradise of Bachelors, 'End of Everything' is a first Mega Bog album for Mexican Summer which finds bandleader Erin Birgy trading the jazzy metaphysics of previous album 'Life, and Another' for a blend of the oddball art pop of new labelmate Cate Le Bon and the dark dancefloor sonics and vocal drama of Future Islands. Again working with Big Thief's James Krivchenia and joined by Aaron Otheim, Hand Habits and TOPS bassist Jackson Maci...

Released 23rd July 2021. Vinyl Expected 27th August. The magical Mega Bog returns with another fantastical off-world transmission, the most sophisticated, exploratory, and accessible statement yet from surrealist songwriter and avant-pop prospector Erin Birgy. Featuring James Krivchenia (Big Thief), who co-produced, and Zach Burba (iji) among its cast of vibrant players, Life, and Another bristles with painterly technicolor surface textures while plumbing fathomless depths of feeling. Cohabit...

Released 7th March 2025. On their debut album Mill On The Hill, Melin Melyn move effortlessly between surf-rock, country, prog-rock and psychedelia with the grace and skill of a band with numerous records under their belt, held together by an efficacious and fantastical thematic principle. Melin Melyn translates to ‘Yellow Mill’ in Welsh, and on this album the Welsh six-piece invite the audience into the world they have quite literally built around them. Mill On The Hill transports the listen...
