Released 26th June 2020. SK Albums of the Year 2020 'A third full-length from the globetrotting Texas trio. The experience of working with soul singer Leon Bridges on the year's earlier Texas Sun EP clearly rubbed off the funk fusion three-piece, as Mordechai features more vocals than any of their previous work to date.'

Expected Release 9th April. SK says: "A second album for Stones Throw from the smooth sailin' Dutch singer-songwriter. Emily King and Mac Demarco guest on another sunny set taking in jazzy soft rock and R&B slow jams underpinned by woozy e-pianos and old school hip-hop beats, picking straight up where 2019's 'City Pop' left off."

Released 2nd July 2021. Laura Mvula’s new album ‘Pink Noise’ is set for release on July 2nd. ‘Pink Noise’ explores a side of Laura previously uncharted.  As triumphant as ever, the album is a battle cry and stark reminder of the sheer talent of the critically acclaimed artist.  This is Laura in a new found light - still reflecting her distinctive signature sound but showing the progression of an artist who has come into her own. Contrasting confessional lyricism with compelling and infectious...

Expected release 9th April 2021. “I wanted to try and showcase as many people as I knew on this mix. My idea of Late Night Tales was to distil a series of relaxing moments; the whole conceptual sonic of relax- ation. So, I was trying to think of all the collaborators and friends that I knew, who’d recorded stuff with this horizontal vibe. Plus, I was also trying to help my friends' stuff get into the world. I know the story of Khruangbin blowing up after appearing on the series (in fact, I t...

Released 20th August 2021. SK says: "Vinyl reissue of the 1996 cult neo-soul gem. This time spread across two platters by the ever reliable Be With Records, as it's meant to be heard. If you love the contemporary grooves of Tom Misch and Oscar Jerome, Lewis Taylor beat them there by a quarter-century."

Released 29th January 2021. In Arlo Parks’ world, words are as useful as photographs. Luscious, expressive vignettes pepper the poetic lyrics in her sweet, ruminative indie pop songs. Born Anaïs Oluwatoyin Estelle Marinho, the 20-year-old from West London - who burst onto the scene with 2018’s “Cola” - uses poetry as her songwriting compass, weaving vivid imagery and sensory touches throughout the stirring, honest stories that make up her already-rich body of work. “I was really interested in...
