Dublin experimental rock trio Bucket announce first-ever vinyl pressing of 'Muck' and 'Mosaic' EPs as part of Dinked's Early Doors series.

Pressed on limited-edition Red and Black Marble vinyl, the release brings the two EPs together on one record, with Muck on one side and Mosaic on the other. The announcement comes ahead of highly-anticipated UK headline shows this week in London, Bristol and Manchester, following new single 'Strung Out' earlier this month. The dates build on a year of touring that has included support slots with Knocked Loose, Heavy Lungs and The Scratch, alongside appearances at ArcTanGent, Eurosonic and FOCUS Wales.

Selected by Dinked, the collective of independent record shops, Bucket join the Early Doors series dedicated to championing emerging artists and bringing their music to a wider audience. Previous editions have included releases from YARD, Makeshift Art Bar, Glasshouse Red Spider Mite, PUNCHBAG and Dog Race.

Together, the two EPs document a band rapidly expanding its sound, tracing the rowdy collision of garage, noise and hardcore on Muck through to the electronic experimentation and volatile, shape-shifting arrangements of Mosaic.

Originally released in March 2025, Muck captures the destructive live energy on which Bucket first built their reputation. Recorded live at Black Mountain Studios in Dundalk, its four tracks pit weighty drums and restless basslines against piercing guitars and distorted vocal melodies, finding room for dark humour amid the abrasion.

Released in April this year, Mosaic pushes those foundations into more disorientating territory. Produced by the band alongside James Eager (Lankum, The Scratch) and recorded between Transmission Rooms Studio in Longford and Camden Studios in Dublin, the EP unfolds through fictional narrators grappling with paranoia, mania, trauma and obsession. The breakbeat-fuelled spiral of 'DNB', suffocating intensity of 'Nonsense' and destructive climax of 'Memento' connect danceable rhythms with crushing guitars and abrupt shifts in mood.

Formed by guitarist/vocalist Cian Dahdouh and bassist Emmet McNamee, who met in college after arriving from garage-punk and metal/hardcore backgrounds respectively, and now joined by drummer Korey Thomas (Bricknasty), Bucket emerged from Dublin’s DIY scene in 2021.

From selling out The Workman’s Club to appearances at Primavera Sound, New Colossus in New York and Supersonic Block Party in Paris, the trio have steadily taken their ferocious live show to audiences further afield.

Celebrated for honoring Guthrie's spirit while creating something entirely new, the 'Mermaid Avenue' recordings remain a landmark achievement in folk and Americana music.

The second volume drew from the same recording sessions and archives. It tends to be more eclectic and experimental, showing a broader range of Guthrie's writing—from political observations to surreal humor and intimate personal reflections.

Celebrated for honoring Guthrie's spirit while creating something entirely new, the 'Mermaid Avenue' recordings remain a landmark achievement in folk and Americana music.

The first volume is generally considered the centerpiece of the series. It blends Bragg's folk and political sensibilities with Wilco's emerging alt-country sound. Songs like 'California Stars', 'Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key', and 'Ingrid Bergman' became modern folk standards. The album earned a GRAMMY nomination and received widespread critical acclaim.

Colombian accordionist and composer Aníbal Velásquez began his recording career in the early 1960s. It was precisely during this early stage of his discography that he recorded the irresistible ‘Mambo Loco,’ a much rawer, more hypnotic, and more percussive version than the one he would release years later on Discos Fuentes. Velásquez’s accordion playfully dances over a powerful, unmistakably Afro-influenced rhythmic background, creating a true dancefloor anthem.

Completing this single with the version that Peruvian group Los Continentales, fronted by superb guitarist Pancho Acosta, recorded of ‘Tiro al blanco,’ one of the most iconic songs by Colombian group Afrosound. In fact, this represents a musical round trip between Colombia and Peru, since Afrosound emerged as a “studio” project in response to the strong wave of Peruvian psychedelic cumbia that was beginning to gain popularity in Colombia in the late 1970s. A group of composers and musicians associated with Discos Fuentes were commissioned to record cumbias in this style under the name Afrosound. It was in this context that ‘Tiro al blanco’ was released, and its success prompted several Peruvian artists (Los Mirlos, Los Sanders, Los Tigres…) to record their own versions of the song. Master guitarist Pancho Acosta and Los Continentales also succumbed to the temptation of recording this regional hit, and their version of ‘Tiro al blanco’ appeared on an extremely rare single that Vampisoul are now reissuing for the first time.

JULES NEGRIER - ‘AN IRIS CRACKLED LIKE EYELIDS’ 
In 'An Iris Crackled Like Eyelids', Jules Négrier explores two movements, two inner moments separated by the suspended time of an eyelid ‘crackling’. The first movement begins as a story ends, with a release of raw emotions, then blossoms into a broad surface of harmonic divergences. The second movement reintroduces a crossover of rhythms, torsions, descents and ascents to reveal a paradoxical space that unfolds in the time of an unresolved pacification. Inspiredly and intricately exposing sounds that are both diaphanous and tortuous, Jules Négrier composes a mysterious music, a music that draws from the torments of electronic matter forms and becomings that gradually gain ground in the regions of simplicity.


MARIA W HORN - ‘ALL SOLIDS MELT INTO AETHER’ 
In 'All Solids Melt Into Aether', Maria W Horn weaves together chords created using an organ pushed to its limits with the relentless textures of computer-generated sounds. Between the extreme, cold precision of the electronic tones and the instability of the warm organ chords subject to pressure variations, a silent drama unfolds, giving rise to a complex world composed of harmonic states which, from their formation to their collapse, induce a powerful and poignant metaphor, conjuring up images of a perpetual, immemorial struggle. This struggle is the one that takes place, every moment, between two opposing energies: one forming the desire for a stable state, seeking a fragile balance, an energy constrained and contradicted, relentlessly, by the forces of entropy and chaos. In this respect, Maria W Horn delivers, with 'All Solids Melt Into Aether', a work of evocative and introspective power that is truly fascinating.

AMINE HOCINE - ‘X3’ 
'X3', by Amina Hocine, draws progressively, subtly and inexorably on the complementary nature of sound materials. Patiently and delicately blending pure sine waves, field recordings and sounds produced with a ‘foghorn organ’ (an instrument developed by Hocine herself), 'X3' invites both introspection and contemplation. Inspired by a symbol of the Danish mystic Martinus Thomsen representing the evolution of a being in the physical world, Amina Hocine invites us on a long journey, balancing between the static and the changing, between the almost imperceptible and the grandiose, with rare elegance and grace. It is a music of transition that Amina Hocine offers us, a music where the mediation of sound, wave after wave, becomes meditation.

ESPEN SOMMER EIDE - ‘PHONOPHANI – UNTIL THE FISH EYES SHINE’ 
In 'Until the Fish Eyes Shine', Espen Sommer Eide takes an inspired panoramic and retrospective look at his musical work, often produced under the pseudonym Phonophani. By revisiting and reimagining the sounds of his early years, with the late 1990s ambient techno scene in Tromsø as a background, Eide summons a music that is anything but nostalgic, but instead offers a kind of ‘geological stratification’ where eras and protocols collide, overlap and complement each other, revealing the remarkable singularity of the Norwegian artist’s sound palette. The piece also expresses the extreme consistency and authenticity of his musical vision, a vision in which technological innovations, the contemplated environment and lived emotions converge in a space apart, that of dreamlike music, always to be invented, always in motion, always in transformation.

Dawning is a collaboration between Chicago creative music mainstay Damon Locks and Black chamber music collective D-Composed. The material was recorded live at The Land School, Rebuild Foundation’s headquarters on Dorchester Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, where D-Composed & International Anthem are the inaugural creative partners in residence.

The album’s sonic palette pairs Locks’ live sampling, beat knowledge, and spoken word swagger with D-Composed’s take on the Black string ensemble with otherworldly results.

'...Well?', Swell's second full-length, is now reissued by Talitres on vinyl in a remastered version by JJ Golden Mastering

Swell, a San Francisco-based indie rock band formed in 1989, quickly rose to prominence after self-producing and self-releasing 2 albums in the early 90s. With the release of '...Well?' in 1992, the band were crafting their own sound, a mix of acoustic and electric guitar, vocals tinged with disillusionment, a bass that feels both sparse and distant and drums that serve as a relentless backtone.

Yeah Yeah Noh, the newest additions to the Precious Recordings of
London roster, are an ‘unpop group’ formed in Leicester in 1984. Creators
of gold-dust LPs and EPs, three classic John Peel sessions and two
more recent sets of Marc Riley session showstoppers. Originators of an
entire Mojo genre: ‘Calor Gas psychedelia’. And stars of every Cherry
Red C86-era comp released this millennium.

Best known for such classics as ‘Cottage Industry’ – in the NME indie
chart for over a year – and Festive 50 smash ‘Bias Binding’, they were
stalwarts of Manchester’s influential In Tape label. They even spawned
a festival at the ICA: ‘John Peel Is Putting the Fun Back into Being
Pretentious’ ... echoing a lyric from ‘Bias Binding’.

But YYN soon shifted to a more psychedelic sound, as evidenced on the acclaimed ‘Cutting the Heavenly Lawn of Greatness’ LP. Now they
are back with their first new material since 2015.

The Big Thumb EP offers not only a trip inside the full-frontal lobe of
singer Derek Hammond; not only a shock of melody, noise, audacious
wit and thievery musicologically referential impressionistic disorientation
– but also a glimpse into the future.

Last year saw the start of an unprecedented burst of activity following
the addition of one-time Nightingale and Nick Drake Weekend regular
Andy Lloyd. He can play guitar just like a-ringin’ a bell – except with more
effects pedals, and 27 times louder. One review of the new line-up’s
debut at Preston Popfest was as short as it was sweet: “Amazing.”

During the 60s and 70s, American soul and funk crossed the Atlantic Ocean, landed on South Africa's fertile shores, and found a new life in the hands of local musicians who began experimenting, fusing these alien sounds with their own traditional rhythms and jazz, forging a uniquely South African style they dubbed "Township Soul" - an umbrella term for a myriad of musical styles, some of which had no names yet.

Competition in Johannesburg was fierce, and for many artists with little more than their instruments and dreams of fame, breaking into the city's music scene was a gamble. Facing police harassment, apartheid pass and curfew laws, they risked everything; yet, driven by ambition, they kept going, unable to resist the pull of music.

Centered around record labels, recording studios, and performance venues and inspired by visionary music producers, Johannesburg - also known as eGoli, the City of Gold - became a melting pot of musical ideas as musicians competed, collaborated, and pushed each other forward to create an extraordinary music scene, captured in Soundcity Joburg and highlighted with 22 of the finest "Township Soul" songs that emerged between 1969 and 1981.

Long a cult favourite among fans, the 2005 album by Thee Silver Mt. Zion is often cited as the group’s high water mark and cemented their evolution into a distinctly and divisively uncategorizable band blending punk, emo, post-classical, Klezmer, and other folkways into a unique and strident protest music. Out of stock for two years, Constellation is issuing a 21st anniversary vinyl repress of 'Horses In The Sky' that expands on the original’s extensive artwork and packaging: for the first time in a gatefold jacket with fully artworked inner sleeves, the repress also restores the 12-page 10”x10” art booklet and preserves the side-D vinyl etching.

Topping the best ‘post-rock’ albums of 2005 at Tiny Mix Tapes with a 4.5/5 rating, their review nonetheless states “with varying song mechanics, a wider array of lyrical themes, and a broadened pallet, Silver Mt. Zion has escaped the shadow of their sister band [Godspeed You! Black Emperor], crafting an album with the kind of underground appeal that outlives tags like ‘post-rock.’” Six tracks spread across three sides of vinyl include two of the group’s most beloved sprawling multi-movement protest songs, 'God Bless Our Dead Marines' and 'Mountains Made Of Steam', both massive live favourites at the time.

Originally released in 1970, 'Egg' was the debut album from the London progressive rock trio of Dave Stewart, Mont Campbell and Clive Brooks. Emerging from the late-60s British underground, the band developed a distinctive keyboard-led sound, blending prog and psychedelia with jazz and classical influences.

Featuring tracks including 'While Growing My Hair', 'I Will Be Absorbed' and the ambitious 'Symphony No. 2', the album is a cult favourite of early British prog. More than 50 years on, 'Egg' remains an inventive and distinctive record, with plenty to appeal to established prog fans and new listeners discovering the era.

The original album contains eight tracks, including 'Stranger in Town', 'Objection Overruled', 'Hot Stepper', 'Cool Down the Pace', 'Material Man', 'Not the Way' and 'Sad to Know (You're Leaving)'.

Psychic Ills’ fifth studio album, 'Inner Journey Out', celebrates its tenth anniversary. Originally released in 2016 as the band’s first album since 'One Track Mind' (2013), 'Inner Journey Out' stands as the culmination of an odyssey of three years of writing, traversing the psych-rock landscape Psychic Ills carved throughout their career while taking inspired pilgrimages into country, blues, gospel, and jazz. 'Inner Journey Out' started out the way many Ills records have: with frontman Tres Warren’s demos. Like all of their records, Elizabeth Hart’s bass is the glue that holds everything together. A cadre of musicians and vocalists — including Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval, who duets on lead single 'I Don’t Mind' — join in on the journey. This is also the first record to feature touring keyboard player Brent Cordero, his Farfisa and Wurlitzer work is a staple throughout. These musicians build the frame on which Warren lays his hazy guitar and vocals. An endless array of friends and guests join the proceedings to provide pedal steel guitar, horns, strings, and backing vocals, which culminate in a career-defining moment for the Ills.

Thematically, 'Inner Journey Out' is a detailed exploration of the interior and the exterior, and the pathway between the two. The focused songwriting makes the stylistic departures fit seamlessly within the band’s dexterous ethos. The rousing gospel psychedelia of 'Another Change' and 'Baby', and the far-out free jazz exploration 'Ra Wah Wah' help shape 'Inner Journey Out' into a multi-faceted, full album experience. All expanse aside, it’s the most personal Psychic Ills album, too, hinting tantalizingly at love and loss but denying the listener resolution — asking questions, but never answering; seeking, but never fully concluding. File next to other drop-out symphonies like 'Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space' by Spiritualized, 'Pacific Ocean Blue' by Dennis Wilson, and 'Born to Be With You' by Dion, and let your journey begin.

Psychic Ills’ debut record 'Dins' is being brought back on limited edition vinyl for its 20th anniversary! 'Dins' takes the band well beyond their astounding live dynamic of circular rhythm and guitar theatrics. They seamlessly blend non-traditional instrumentation and studio improvisation with a surging rock dynamic into an incredibly heavy debut, recorded by Charles Burst who has worked with bands such as Black Dice, Gang Gang Dance and The Double.

'Dins' overflows with psychedelia — drenched in reverb and boundless droning, the album channels early 90s psych-rock inspirations like Sonic Youth and The Velvet Underground with its eight-minute rock anthems, 'I Knew My Name' and 'Another Day Another Night'. While other tracks create a blissful state of mind, unwinding your inner tensions and hypnotizing you with endless whirring guitar tones, 'Electric Life'. A memorable debut with worldly sonic inspirations, Psychic Ills bring their all to the table in 'Dins'. Sit back, and get ready for a trip of a lifetime.

‘What’s A Heaven For?’ is the long-awaited debut album from Hallan. Across it’s twelve propulsive tracks, the Portsmouth based band take their post-punk sound and expand it across a driving mix of electronics, new wave, art-pop, and club-influenced rhythms, with lyrics drawing from history, politics, religion, and philosophy.

The new music heralds the next chapter of a band with a lot to say, and a unique way to say it. Taking its title ‘What’s A Heaven For?’ from Robert Browning’s Andrea del Sarto, the debut album explores encounters with Judas Iscariot, King Solomon, Emperor Nero, Robert Falcon Scott, the Wars of the Roses, a Syrian soldier stationed at Hadrian’s Wall, and Carl Sagan’s reflections on humanity’s place in the universe.

The first single from the new record, ‘Solomon’, shows Hallan at their brilliant and abrasive finest. Joshua’s gritty basslines, Josh’s shimmering guitar sweeps, and Adam’s crunched drum beats push the track forward, while lead singer Conor uses the biblical imagery and history of King Solomon to compel the listener to reflect on what truth is in today’s society, in a world where humanity is often too quick to be reactive to news.

Following last year's hugely acclaimed 'Bored Animal' album, His Lordship return with a tribute to Rock 'n' Roll pioneer Chuck Berry, to celebrate what would've been his 100th birthday.

Launching the celebration will be a one-off, strictly limited edition Chiswick Records 7-inch vinyl single presenting the band's gut-punching version of 'Nadine' - b/w Chuck Berry's original version from 1965.

Ever since The Beatles paid homage to Berry with their covers of 'Roll Over Beethoven' and 'Rock and Roll Music', and the Rolling Stones released Berry's 'Come On' as their debut single, British boys with guitars have had a deep love affair with the extraordinary songs and sounds of Black American rock 'n' roll and, in their own inimitable way, paid tribute to the truly timeless genre, whilst acknowledging their love for its inventors.

A lifelong fan of Chuck Berry - at just six years of age His Lordship's frontman and guitarist James Walbourne saw Berry perform at Hammersmith Odeon - last year James was asked to play at the annual celebration of Berry's music in his hometown of St. Louis. Thereafter, rock 'n' roll obsessives His Lordship hit upon the idea of attempting to record a varied selection of Berry's songs, to see if, whilst paying tribute to these monuments of American music, they could put their own personal stamp on the material, injecting it with 21st century urgency and fiery passion.

'Brown Acid: The Twenty-Third Trip'… You have two options: immediately run and duck for cover or get your rocks off big time! Ten more vintage primal detonators from the early days of hard rock, exploding across time to wreck your mind today, just in case you’re still standing after Trips One thru Twenty-Two. Out of the ash heap of ’60s idealism comes harsh reality, uncontrollable urges, alienation, get-it-while-you-can desperation dosed with brutal guitar as these long lost local bands rip it up, captured young right out of the gate, untamed by record biz producers, no namby pamby artsy fartsy moves. This is the sort of deadly to-the-point savagery that only real life unfiltered and gone sideways can deliver!

King Buffalo return from a four year writing period full of thunder. 'Doomsayer' finds the Rochester, New York power trio reinvented, more confident and explorative than ever before while retaining the core of their heavy psych rock sound.

In the years following the release of the final installment of their "pandemic trio" - a series of records made in quick succession in the early 2020s - King Buffalo began work building their own full-fledged recording studio. For such a prolific band, the years long wait for a new record was uncharacteristic, but their return demonstrates the fruits of their labor.

'Doomsayer' showcases some of the band's heaviest work, but also some of the most innovative. Guitarist / singer Sean Roa doubles down on his signature tight riffing style while also showing a growing interest in blues and space rock. Synthesizers pulse in lockstep with bassist Dan Reynolds and drummer Scott Donaldson, forming one of the tightest rhythm groups in psych rock. The band's heavy kraut-psych-stoner style is undeniably their own and has been honed with each release.

“'Doomsayer' originated in early 2026,” says Roa, “out of many hours of jam sessions in our new studio space, playing around and seeing where it took us. We didn’t really have an end goal in mind of what we were going for. We were simply exploring ideas and seeing what ended up speaking to us the most. So much has happened, both as a band and in our personal lives since our last record, that ended up becoming the inspiration to many of the lyrics on Doomsayer. I think as a result, this is some of our most upfront, direct and riff-driven work to date. We are incredibly proud of it, and can’t wait for it to get out into the world.”

Fresh from their epic set at Victoria Park’s APE/Outbreak festival supporting Deftones, Deafheaven have surprise released a new EP, 'At Work in the Fields of the Bomb'. Recorded with producer Arthur Rizk, the three song EP is led by the opening track 'Hunter', which features a short film created by the band’s own George Clarke along with director Nico Poalillo and Pulse Films.

'At Work in the Fields of the Bomb' borrows its title and central concept from Robert Del Tredici’s photo book documenting the ordinary places and people involved in the production of nuclear weapons. The EP explores the unsettling contrast between the unimaginable consequences of the bomb and the mundane actions that make such destruction possible, focusing on the choices and systems that lead us toward irreversible moments. It considers how catastrophe can emerge from seemingly ordinary details—and how, once extinction becomes possible, there is ultimately no one left to witness it.

Orange County's Ignite return in 2027 with 'Still Wide Awake', their most urgent and uncompromising album to date. Formed in 1993 and built on the foundations of melodic hardcore, raw intensity and lyrics that carry real weight, Ignite have spent more than three decades proving that punk and hardcore still have something vital to say.

'Still Wide Awake' marks a pivotal moment for the band. Returning to a focused four piece with vocalist Eli Santana, bassist Brett Rasmussen, guitarist Nik Hill and drummer Craig Anderson, the record strips things back to the raw energy of their 90s formation while pushing into darker, heavier territory. The result is some of the fastest, angriest music of their career, woven through with metal, thrash and dark gothic undertones, that are entirely their own.

Lyrically the album refuses to look away at hard topics. Tracks confront the personal, social and political battles American immigration enforcement, reproductive rights and the unspoken weight of men's mental health. The title track opens the record with a call to stop sleepwalking and take responsibility for ourselves and each other. Expect the usual uncompromising conviction and energy that Ignite give on record and on stage. Their incendiary shows have lead them to share stages with Bad Religion, Rise Against, Suicidal Tendencies and Avenged Sevenfold, and tear up festival stages across the globe for over thirty years.

'Still Wide Awake' is a statement of independence and community that is in keeping with everything they stand for.

Spawning three singles, including the UK top ten hit ‘Drop Dead Gorgeous’ and the global smash, perennially synced ‘Ready To Go’, Republica’s self-titled debut album achieved platinum sales in the UK and charted across Europe and Australasia in the latter half of 1996. Still fronted by the irrepressible Saffron Sprackling, the band are touring the UK this Autumn to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the record, which is now being reissued as a special edition on red and black ‘cornetto’ vinyl (inspired by Saffron’s hair, of course). It comes with a second, bonus LP featuring the group’s complete, powerhouse performance at the August 1997 Day At The Races event at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre. Six tracks were made available briefly on CD at the end of that year. The remaining three, also mixed and mastered from the original multi-track sources, are released here for the first time.

Dublin six-piece Madra Salach's debut album 'Gorta'.

Named after the Irish word for “hunger”, 'Gorta' is an album about inheritance: what we carry from the generations before us, what we leave behind, and the many forms that hunger can take.

The sleeve of the album, created by Oscar Torrans, holds all of that in a single figure: a Blemmyes, one of the akephaloi of ancient legend, the headless ones whose faces sat in their chests.

Produced by Loren Humphrey in New York — whose recent credits include Geese and Cameron Winter — 'Gorta' moves between moments of stark intimacy and full-band eruptions.

This version of the all-time soul gem, “That what friends are for” by the amazing Madeline Bell and Alan Parker, is taken from her solo album. It's uplifting, with just a touch of Latin hip movement.

And when you pair the best British Library musicians with one of the hottest American soul singers, magic happens!

Diso Gram is based in Barcelona and deals in global disco, nu-disco and edits with in-house production from we don't know who, but we do know they're skilled in the studio. 'Bobby' is a life-affirming opener with proud trumpets and classic disco vocals before 'The King' taps into a funky bassline and slapping hits that all feel wonderfully live. 'Me Enciendes' brings more strutting disco house with massive claps and falsetto vocals that will take any crowd to a better place and 'Tropical' closes the account with a more subdued, early evening dub-disco builder with Afro flourishes.

Bernardo Pinheiro and Joutro Mundo seek to make a connection between house music and their native Brazilian traditions on this new EP for Banana Gold. Pinheiro brings over two decades of experience and Mundo is the founder of Onda Boa, so these two have serious chops and it shows. 'Viva Liberdade' is a hands-in-the-air piano house tune with Portuguese vocals but a sense of nagging melancholy that adds a distinct edge. 'Salve Salve' is chunky, bubbly bass house with a lively vibe and 'Eu Amo A Vida' closes with some soft acid and a playful touch of Euro energy. A fine cross-pollination of styles.

Lempuyang is a dub techno powerhouse with an already vast and brilliant back catalogue, despite only being formed in 2021 by Alastair Kelly. Now he marks a half-decade of work with new compilation Pura Lempuyang Lima that embodies what this imprint is all about across four sides of wax. Yassin Omidi keeps it super deep and smoky with conscious dub mutterings, while Beppu brings more static and ambient sound designs to an equally immersive rhythm. Elsewhere, Octal Industries brings a little more drive and energy, Ohm & Anton Kubikov keep things utterly blissed out and dreamy and Peak:Shift brings gentle broken beats and aching melancholy. Lovely stuff as ever.

The 2026 album from longstanding folk troubadour Beans on Toast is his nineteenth studio album, 'The Great Unravelling'. It was recorded in January on the banks of the Huon River in Tasmania. The wild beauty of the landscape seeped into the songs, giving the record a dreamy, otherworldly feel and a sound unlike anything else in his ever-growing back catalogue.

The album was played entirely on electric guitar, accompanied by slide guitar and backing vocals from incredible up-and-coming songwriter Nuala. Together, they create a spacious and atmospheric backdrop for a collection of songs that ponder our place in the universe, from distant galaxies to school drop-offs and the everyday moments in between. As ever with Beans on Toast, 'The Great Unravelling' is honest and hopeful, finding wonder in the world around us while trying to make some sense of the strange times we're living through.

Star Moles is the project of Emily Moales, a New Hampshire ex-pat reborn and perfected in Philadelphia PA, aka Benjamin Franklin’s town. Since she first laid sound to digital tape in 2017, she has been doing what any great artist should be doing: making art, refining her craft, and finding her voice at her own pace and in relative anonymity. Over those years, she’s explored many versions of herself. Her previous releases (seven full-length LPs, multiple EPs, and countless singles) were often fantastical and conceptual in nature, taking inspiration from literature and mythology. It was a necessary escapism for herself as a teenager in sleepy New England, and as a young adult amid the dull dread of a global pandemic. She’s now 27, and still doesn’t get out that much, but these days, she doesn’t feel the need to reach that far away for inspiration. Moales has traded in high-concept for high impact.

She finds herself drawn to making music that sounds like the music she loves and singing about her life in beautiful Philadelphia. She also remains rooted in our current world historic moment, touching on topics like religious fanaticism, environmental collapse, and the unabashed ascent of fascism in America. Her transcendent fifth full-length album is called Highway to Hell. AC/DC, eat your fucking heart out.

Put simply, this album is a major statement of intent, signaling the arrival of a singular talent, primed for a breakthrough. Moales is a major player in a young, hungry stable of mind-boggingly prolific artists flying under the radar in Philly's ever-vibrant music scene. Highway to Hell was produced by Kevin Basko (Rubber Band Gun) and features vital contributions from members of Emily and Kevin’s Historic NJ Recordings creative collective, including Sam Sullivan (guitar) and Jem Seidel (drums).

At the core of Dam Swindle has always been an unshakeable love of deep, soulful house music. While there have been forays into disco, soul and funk, they've never forgotten their roots. That, after all, is why they started in the first place: to inject some soul and swing into Amsterdam's then-austere club scene. And it's why, when they got the call from !K7, becoming the first Dutch act in the DJ-Kicks series, the mission felt simple: to honour their years of hard work with a mix of the best, most uplifting house at their fingertips.

Since launching in 2011, Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets, AKA Amsterdam- based duo Dam Swindle’s partnership has blossomed into a successful DJ and production career, the co-ownership and running of the club Radio Radio, and the spectacular Heist Recordings label, which earlier this year celebrated its 100th release. Their collaborative spirit shines through in their work across diverse genres with an incredible array of artists, including DJ Minx and Kerri Chandler, to name a select few.

"When we began, we really missed the soulful side," said Smeets. "Everything was minimal techno, but then we started doing these soulful productions and people loved it. 15 years later, nothing has changed, you know? We still believe dance floors need warmth, for dancing and connecting with likeminded people."

This mood permeates the mix, which was recorded at the duo's hardware-crammed studio beneath the Volkshotel. All warm keys, bright synth lines and heartfelt vocals, classic US favourites rub shoulders with local talents like Makèz, D Stone and Nachtbraker, who composed the bespoke intro and outro featuring, among other elements, sonic snapshots from previous Dam Swindle interviews offering a vivid journey through the highlights of their creative career.

And then there are the duo's five originals, whittled down from a 30-strong stack of fresh demos and crafted specifically to suit different sections. From more laidback house to no-nonsense heaters, they anchor the mix. "It was close to writing a whole album," Smeets admitted.

The result brilliantly captures Dam Swindle in 2026. A decade and half into the game, they're now approaching elder statesmen status in Amsterdam and beyond. Plenty of their fans and peers have grown up with their music. After a quieter period on the road and in the studio post-Covid, the duo have the bit between their teeth again, inspired to write, play and share
dance music with as much joy and intent as ever.

"When people listen to the mix, they'll understand where we come from, what we do and where we're heading," said Dales. "It's a full circle moment for us, in that sense."

The physical release of 'Björk Orkestral - With The Hamrahlíð Choir' - part of the concert series that took place at Harpa concert hall in Reykjavik in 2021. The 24 October show featured the 50-person Hamrahlíð Choir conducted by Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir and musician Bergur Þórisson on organ and featured songs primarily from Björk's album 'Medúlla'.

These concerts were organized to raise money and awareness for Kvennaathvarfid - a charity that supports women and immigrants of different origin within Iceland.

The Hamrahlíð Choir has been at the forefront of Icelandic musical life for more than four decades. Its members are former students at Hamrahlíð College in Reykjavík, where Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir formed a choir in 1967 and was its conductor until 2017. The Hamrahlíð Choir, which is made up of graduates of the college choir, has released many widely praised CDs and has frequently performed with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Throughout its history, the choir has collaborated closely with Icelandic composers, and over 100 works have been composed especially for the choir. The Hamrahlíð Choir has travelled to 26 countries and has performed at many of the world’s leading choral festivals to great acclaim, including festivals in Europe, North America, and Asia. The Hamrahlíð Choir began its collaboration with Björk in 2017, singing on her 'Utopia'. The collaboration continued with Cornucopia concerts in New York City and Europe in 2019.

'The Emerald' is the second album from Martin Kennedy's instrumental metal project, Observers. 'The Emerald's instrumental post-metal was inspired by the primeval forests and hidden portals of the cover art by visionary art pioneer Gilbert Williams, one of Kennedy's favourite artists. Once again mixed by Joe Haley of Australia's Psycroptic, the album is equal parts crushing guitars and atmospheric soundscapes, reminiscent of Kennedy's ambient rock project All India Radio.

Malcolm John Rebennack, Jr. lived an extraordinary life, from which we all benefitted. His combination of New Orleans R&B, blues, jazz, funk, and rock permeated the musical landscape of the late ’60s and beyond. While quite young, he was influenced by piano players, including Professor Longhair. As a teenage musical prodigy, Mac was a songwriter, arranger, A&R guy, and a producer for Ace Records, running sessions with legendary artists. During the 1960s, as a “first call” Los Angeles studio musician, he honed his chops doing session work for artists including Sonny & Cher, Canned Heat, and Frank Zappa. Years later, he developed his persona of Dr. John The Night Tripper and his 1968 debut album, Gris Gris, was a phenomenon, attracting fans across the musical spectrum. Its “I Walk On Guilded Splinters” has been covered by The Allman Brothers, Cher, Paul Weller, The Neville Brothers, and was a centerpiece of Humble Pie’s classic Performance Rockin’ The Fillmore. More singles and albums followed including “Iko Iko” (from Dr. John’s Gumbo) and “Right Place Wrong Time” (which hit #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973.) Both Gris Gris and Gumbo were listed on Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Albums of All Time, and Dr. John performed In The Right Place’s “Such A Night” at The Band’s 1976 farewell concert—immortalized in The Last Waltz. He would go on to win six Grammy awards and in 2011 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by John Legend. Now, his singles from those early and influential Atco/Atlantic years have been collected on Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya: Singles 1968–1974 . 26 sides of pure musical medicine from Dr. John. Available as a double LP, the packaging contains liner notes from Gene Sculatti. Featuring the hits “Right Place Wrong Time,” “Iko Iko,” “Such A Night,” and rare single edits of other classics, Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya: Singles 1968–1974 is not only the right place to start your Dr. John journey, but the perfect place to relive the classic Atco/Atlantic albums

The open skies of Ochre's new album, Oversail, replace the dense canopies of his last, Understory, back in 2020. This time, Ochre trades rhythmic intricacy for something more exposed and reflective on a record that unfolds in measured steps, with each passage revealing fragile melodies set against sparse, shifting frameworks. There's a tactile quality to the sound design, hardware elements clicking and sighing like ageing machinery still in motion. Tracks feel suspended and the focus is on slow revelation across the quietly affecting 'Casadastra', airy beauty of 'Meristem' and hopeful synth sequencing of 'Canthropa.'

Listening to Oversail feels a bit like stepping out from a place of comfort and shelter into something wider and less certain. Cristopher Leary aka Ochre - raised in the north of the UK but now resident in The Hague - shapes a landscape of delicate and subtle motion where melody and rhythm feel suspended and never stay fixed in place for long. The tracks unfold cautiously with textures that creak and shimmer. It's detailed but never overcrowded so there is plenty of scope for introspection while slowly moving forward. A perfect antidote for overstimulated minds and a great excuse to disconnect.

L’Épée, the collaborative project between Anton Newcombe, creative force behind The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and French actor and singer Emmanuelle Seigner, return after a seven-year hiatus with a new self-titled four-track EP.

This time without The Limiñanas, who completed the original Diabolique-era line-up, the new incarnation of L’Épée centres on Newcombe and Seigner.

Featuring ‘Coeur Griffé’, ‘No Goodbye’, ‘Forget It’ and ‘Don’t Eat Me’, L’Épée picks up the thread left by the group’s acclaimed 2019 debut album, Diabolique, pushing their psych-pop into darker territory while retaining the garage rock, sleaze and yé-yé that defined their earlier work.

'Dead Son Rising' (2011) is the sixteenth solo studio album by Gary Numan, co-written and co-produced by Numan and his long-time collaborator, Ade Fenton. The album is widely considered by critics and fans to be one his strongest, most cohesive and atmospheric releases of the 21st Century.

The concept of the record grew out of a set of demos Numan recorded for previous projects but hadn’t released. Explaining how the album took shape he explained: “The original ideas that sparked off these songs are now barely visible. It grew into another animal, something more experimental.”

Heavy, dark and deeply cinematic, 'Dead Son Rising' is a blend of industrial rock and electronic goth synth. Because of its powerful synth lines, distorted guitars and claustrophobic production, critics compared the album to Nine Inch Nails (a band Numan famously influenced and has toured with). Many of the tracks are deeply personal, exploring troubled relationships and emotional betrayal. However, songs like ‘We Are The Lost’ and the title track ‘Dead Sun Rising’ pull from a sci-fi fantasy novel Numan was writing at the time. 'Dead Moon Falling' (2011) is the companion remix album to 'Dead Son Rising', with mixes curated by Numan, featuring a diverse array of artists including Tim Burgess (Charlatans), Alec Empire (Atari Teenage Riot), Gazelle Twin and Sonoio (NIN).

In a world that buckles and cracks under our calamitous weight, something at once old and beautiful, bitter and malign, stirs just a shade below what can be seen. It had dreamt of the end of things, and tasted there sweet emptiness, but now a new hominid stench has disturbed its slumber.

So keenly it ponders, un-lidding an eye, and within each potent coil desires fester, many and urgent. And so it untangles, and organises, and lurches upwards like a whale; bloated, rotten and desperate to breathe.

Emily and Joe have caught glimpses of that which lurks beneath. As each has struggled to make sense of what they have seen, they have been dragged inexorably into a frightening new reality; a shadow world of lurid horrors, where nothing is as it ought to be. Yet they have witnessed great beauty too, a joy stark and profound, and an addiction is growing.

iO Pan is about a love for that special era in the UK dance music scene that from the late 1980s onwards mixed funk, soul, hip-hop, electro, reggae, dub and Jamaican sound system culture together with the freshest dance music coming out of Chicago, Detroit, Belgium and Italy. A unique melting pot that would lead to some of the most original and groundbreaking musical movements the world has ever seen in Bleep, Breakbeat, Hardcore, Jungle and Dub Step.

The Trampolene story is a classic rock ‘n’ roll story, a band that has embraced chaos, thrown everything into their music, and earned a reputation as one of the UK’s cult underground favourites - all topped with the articulate lyricism of vocalist, punk poet and novelist Jack Jones. Now Trampolene live up to that reputation with the news that they will release ‘MADE IN WALES’ - their most accomplished album to date - via Pete Doherty’s Strap Originals label.

‘MADE IN WALES’ is a record that pulsates with the urgency of a life lived at a million miles an hour. There’s nihilistic hedonism at every turn, punctuated with moments of searing self-reflection and anxiety as the fleeting comedowns take hold. But there’s a poetic streak and a street level romanticism at play too, celebrating how your roots and the community around you shape your life and outlook. Those concepts are set to rampaging garage-rock and boisterous indie-rock played with a thrilling recklessness akin to a runaway train desperately trying to stay on the tracks. It culminates with the poignant title track: part state-of-the-nation address, part alternative national anthem.

25th anniversary edition of Hood's seminal album 'Cold House'.

This album saw the band move to new heights merging their slowcore, post-rock and folk influences with intricate, atmospheric IDM production and abstract rap from cLOUDdEAD's Dose-One and Why?

It’s as innovative as it is catchy and sounds like nothing else. The mixture of organic acoustic and angular electronic instrumentation has seen this album gain a new cult following in recent years, and you can hear its influence across a whole range of contemporary artists, from Bar Italia to Claire Rousay, More Eaze and Chanel Beads.

This reissue features a booklet with a new extended interview between Simon Reynolds and the band alongside archival imagery and photos.

Following on from the release of their acclaimed album Rose' Main Reading Room', Peel Dream Magazine return with new mini album 'Taurus'. Spanning eight previously unavailable tracks that were originally recorded for their lush and inviting 2024 full length, 'Taurus' offers a wider glimpse into songwriter Joseph Stevens’ process and creative output from those sessions. The band, whose name nods to the BBC Radio 1 legend John Peel — arbiter of all things underground, quality, and (it must be said) "cool" — has since its inception been a genre-hopping experiment, jumping from motorik krautrock to shoegaze and space age pop.

On 'Taurus', Peel Dream Magazine remain explorative, drifting effortlessly across a gamut of styles that range from the twee indie pop of lead single 'Venus In Nadir', the title track’s cozy vibraphones, and the bubbly space-synths of 'Seek and Destroy'. Although unbound by genre, Peel Dream Magazine still inhabit the sonic milieu of warm woodland tones and droning repetition. In the entrancing standout 'Believer', they evoke 'Rose Main Reading Room’s atmosphere through vocalist Olivia Babuka Black’s mantric melodies and Philip Glass-like woodwinds and mallets, bringing 'Taurus' into focus as a welcoming companion piece to its predecessor.

Tusks returns with fourth album 'Do I See You There?', her most personal and sonically ambitious record yet. Written in the wake of losing a close friend, it explores grief, memory and renewal through expansive electronics and dark dream-pop. Entirely written and produced by Emily Underhill, the album was shaped during a residency at Pete Townshend’s studio, with access to its extraordinary collection of rare vintage synths.

Following acclaimed albums 'Dissolve', 'Avalanche' and 'Gold', Tusks has earned support from BBC 6 Music, Radio 1, Rolling Stone, Billboard, MOJO and Mixmag, toured with Khruangbin, Ásgeir and Bear’s Den, and headlined Village Underground and Berlin’s Panorama Bar. 'Do I See You There?' marks a bold new chapter, balancing intimate songwriting with some of Underhill’s biggest and most immersive production to date.

Spraycan is the new project of Rich Thair and Nick Abnett.

The tracks laid down for their debut EP are the product of improvisation and instinct. The EP explores the unique, human relationship of a drummer (Rich) and a bassist (Nick) that have been fused together for 30 years since Andrew Weatherall put together his live band of misfits - The Sabres Of Paradise.

Their vision is simple. No plan. Jump in. First take. Move on. That is Spraycan.

Their first offerings are accompanied by two fantastic remixes from Richard Sen. Think Kraftwerk meets Throbbing Gristle.

A celebrated jazz musician, composer, producer and keyboardist, Finn Rees is one of the cream of the crop when it comes to Naarm / Melbourne's vibrant DIY music scene. With a reputation for his masterfully expressive keys playing and genre- blending approach, he has been touring far and wide both under his solo project and as one half of dance-focussed duo Close Counters. Not stopping there, he is a go-to keys player for many of his contemporaries. Following the release of his collaborative twotracker with SHOLTO last year, Finn returns to Mr Bongo with this captivating new solo EP.

'Feel The Sun' begins its cycle with 'Another Spring'. A Brazilian-inspired, uplifting jazz fusion dancer encapsulating riding the wave of the sun returning, the rush of seasons and remembering to make the moment while you have it. It's something Finn has been lucky enough to witness across the globe, but as he mentions, "I also reflected on 'spring' as a symbol of the inner creative life force available to us in any moment. Each creative idea feels like a fresh opening of light, a new bud opening up". The track starts with echoes of Cesar Camargo Mariano before dropping into a sweeping, orchestrated dancer. "The odd 7/4 time jam (inspired by the great Brazilian group Zimbo Trio) keeps you on your toes moving between a punchy horn motif and the rich string ensemble that lifts you up and carries you".

Next the title track opens out as a 9-minute jazz dance odyssey. "I've always wanted to create a tune that brings orchestrated elements and lush horns onto the dancefloor. A track that takes you on a real journey throughout, almost like Harry Thumann or David Matthews Big Band. The mood is again about nourishing the good moments while you can. I wrote it after most of the world was able to move freely again in 2022, 'Feel the sun as it comes around, for it cannot stay too long'", Finn says.

Moving forward, 'Torn' leans into the realm of jazzy hip hop, featuring a formidable groove held down by Lucky Pereira on drums and Junior Terry on upright bass as well as a blistering flute solo by Erica Tucceri. "This one is a bit of a nod to Tribe Called Quest and Bobbi Humphrey who were some of my favourite early introductions to jazz and groove", Finn states.

Closing out the EP, Finn joins with his Close Counters partner Allan McConnell to serve up a clubbier take on 'Feel The Sun'. The resulting remix is a cosmic-leaning, synth heavy interpretation, full of celestial nods and bubbling energy.

A mythical and elusive release in its original form, for many it's an unattainable prize in the Discogs wantlist, and one far out of reach financially. Even though it's already been reissued by other amazing record labels over the years, Mr Bongo really wanted to make their edition to pay homage to the album's greatness and to keep this iconic gem in print, and at an affordable price for all.

The scarcity of Ricardo Marrero & The Group's iconic 'A Taste' released in 1976 grew from the foundations of its release on the notorious TSG Records. Run by Lloyd Price, with alleged ties to boxing promoter Don King, TSG was one of the tax scam labels of the 1970s created to exploit a loophole in the US tax system. Such labels would run up inflated production costs and losses that investors or the parent label could write off against their tax bills.

'A Taste' was never intended to be promoted and distributed properly and was thus lost in the musical ether of this 1970s farce. However, the album is not merely soughtafter due to its rarity, it's an amazing listen throughout. Though categorised as a 'Latin' album, it incorporates so much more. It has a warm, boundary-pushing sound and a lush fusion of Latin, jazz-funk, and soul with a cinematic edge; it's varied yet feels complete as a whole.

One of the crown jewels of the album is the much-loved Latin funk anthem 'Babalonia'. Different versions of this dancefloor gem have been recorded and released by Marrero on other labels, but this version is a certified monster. The often overlooked 'Get Yourself Together' is a real curveball, feeling like it should have been featured on an independent gospel private press - both uplifting and spiritual. Elsewhere, 'And We'll Make Love', which was penned by bassist Michael Vinas, radiates with an earthy souljazz / rare groove quality. Other highlights include the raw Latin funk dancer 'Algo', with the album entering a straighter Latin / Nuyorican realm on 'Vengo' and 'A Taste Of Latin'.

Ghost Funk Orchestra (GFO) returns to our orbit with 'Yours in The Ranks of Death', their most grounded and personal collection of songs to date. Reflective and ethereal, the fifth full-length album from Ghost Funk Orchestra finds composer/mastermind Seth Applebaum paring down the sounds and conceptual underpinnings — providing his signature grooves a cleaner pocket to glide across the turntable. Like a summer sun's rays slowly atomizing morning fog, what comes into sharper relief are the angles and crystalline figures that have made Ghost Funk Orchestra the groovy modern psychedelic soul jazz boogaloo backbone of Karma Chief Records since joining the label in 2018.

In the fall of 2007, a 26-year Cologne-based producer by the name of Daso Franke released his 12" for Ghostly's Spectral Sound label. On the A-side sat 'Meine', a euphoric eight-minute ascent that delighted dancefloors around the world. In the time since, the single has become something of a classic. Earlier this year, Resident Advisor calls recently called 'Meine' one of the best songs of the century so far.

In April of 2018, Franke passed away after a long bout with cancer. With the support of his family and demand from fans, Spectral Sound are making the Meine Idee EP available again in memory of Daso's musical legacy.

Resident Advisor continues "It's unbelievably positive, which explains why it was a Panorama Bar favourite for years. In the final moments of his life, Daso's friends played 'Meine' from a stereo in the corner of his hospital room. It was the only way." Daso possessed a unique gift for graceful melody, and the Meine Idee EP captures a moment where it shone brilliantly. His music will live on.

There is a peculiar freedom that accompanies an upheaval.

Even as change tears through the structures that once held us together, the wind flutters in and the mind begins to dance. Fine Food Market’s debut album 'Alas Time Has Passed' is an intimate and dynamic folk-pop cocktail narrating a new world.

Following a period of big changes—moving out on her own, leaving a long-term relationship, and squaring off her discomfort with solitude—Sophie Perras began looking around and asking, what is left now? She retraces her childhood memories in nine groove-infused vignettes, unintentionally reevaluating all the masculine relationships in her life, familial and romantic.

Recorded live off the floor in a cabin in the Laurentian mountains, the album carries the immediacy of its songwriting into the recording process. Each song assumes the form it requires– from country-inflected arrangements featuring pedal steel, fiddle, saxophone and a full choir, to stripped-back piano ballads.

Fun-loving pop hooks, playful turns of phrase, and theatrical melancholy coexist. Perras’ charm lies in her emotional elasticity, balancing adventure and airiness with a stark sadness and sensitivity. Rather than resolving these tensions, the album embraces every mood, ultimately casting off any acute intensity in the pursuit of joy and expansiveness.

In an age of algorithms, Westside Cowboy are pure-spirited proof of the magic that can only come from human connection. Just three years on from forming in Manchester, starting a band for the fun of it without so much as a plan to even play a gig, the quartet - Jimmy Bradbury (vocals, guitar), Reuben Haycocks (vocals, guitar), Aoife Anson O'Connell (vocals, bass) and Paddy Murphy (drums) - have crafted perhaps the year’s most exciting debut by simply figuring out what feels good, and following it into the horizon.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: The unstoppable force that is Westside Cowboy come racing out of the starting gate with a debut album that is both wildly inventive and unerringly concise. Bold instrumentals and roaring vocals come together into a hectic, grooving maelstrom before pulling the carpet out from beneath you with a sudden void of activity, or a quietly minimal redux. An unsurprisingly stunning debut.

Hackney Electronica's Feedback Memory EP is a night out in the grittiest corners of East London with the lights flickering. Quinn Whalley, Unai Trotti and Margo Broom started this trio during lockdown, and their sound is heavy, hypnotic and, well, a little unhinged as they chase the thin line between pleasure and paranoia. 'Trapped in the Circuit' and 'Six Foot Seven' with Mutado Pintado on vocals are the dancefloor hitters. The title track and 'Lost Trip - Destino' get warped and wavey, while 'Compressed Air' closes with breakbeats and a trip-hop wobble. Come for the acid, stay for the comedown.

SCALER are the electrifying Bristol-based band hailed as the city’s “next national breakthrough” thanks to their pulverising live show and meticulous, mind-warping sound. Hot off their critically acclaimed sophomore record ‘Endlessly’ which was nominated for an AIM award for ‘Best Independent Album’ comes Reflex. An EP full of kinetic energy satisfying a craving for immediacy within the project. The layers of intricate collaboration of Endlessly are peeled back and the raw energy of SCALER is cast forth. “These songs were made with the four of us in the room together with our machines, reacting to what the others were doing. Trying to capture the feeling of when your body outruns your head, no second guessing or holding back. Together they work as both fight and flight. A chase and a reaction. Instinct not thought. A reflex.

Renowned for her vivid, gothic-tinged storytelling, Amelia Coburn’s 'Myself and Other Monsters' is a cabinet of curiosities, where the supernatural hides within the domestic and beauty exists alongside the grotesque. Musically, it reaches for dreamlike arrangements and cinematic crescendos, with Bill Ryder-Jones’s production shifting from theatrical brass to melancholic strings and haunting harmonies.

Amelia has a knack for making the unusual sound timeless. Drawing inspiration from gothic literature and the inherent mystery of vintage horror films, there is a darkness at the heart of many of her songs. On 'Myself and Other Monsters', Amelia turns that darkness inward:

“Although the album began with something intensely personal, it is not a straightforwardly autobiographical record. Once I began looking at my own darker impulses, I wanted to examine the “monsters” that exist beyond myself: spectral creatures, morally ambiguous characters, unreliable narrators and the strange ways in which people can become monstrous, or be made to feel monstrous.”

At its core, ‘Myself and Other Monsters’ is an attempt to look unflinchingly at the contradictions within ourselves and the world around us, and to ask the listener where the person ends and the monster begins.

Al Kent needs no introduction when it comes to being one the most prolific kings of disco in the UK. He reimagines hidden treasure and takes inspiration from the glory days of 70’s dancefloor nuggets to create modern day classics.

A driving Beat Mix follows, transforming the original into a tougher, more DJ-ready cut. On the flip, ‘Nu Acid’ dives into raw machine funk and hypnotic pressure, while ‘Thiz Mood’ closes the EP while highlighting the duo’s mastery of tension and rhythmic detail.

Having called an indefinite hiatus on Lack of Afro following ‘Love Dealer’ – his most recent release for a project that has carried him through the best part of two decades – Adam Gibbons returns to the place it all began. ‘Music For Motion Pictures’ is Gibbons’ second album under his own name, arriving five years on from 2021’s ‘The Last Bastion’, and it finds him leaning further into a cinematic obsession that predates his releases as Lack of Afro. Before the funk, soul, disco (and much more) of his musical alter-ego took hold, Gibbons aspired to be a film composer, growing up on the scores of John Barry, John Williams, Thomas Newman and, more recently, David Holmes, Daniel Pemberton and Ludwig Göransson.

“The material I put out under my own name is designed to scratch the itch I’ve always had of writing music to picture,” says Gibbons. “A film composer was what I wanted to be – I was obsessed with it for a number of years. I actually thought the Lack of Afro material would be a side project or even a distraction. It ended up being the other way around.”

Where ‘The Last Bastion’ scored a film that has never existed, ‘Music For Motion Pictures’ takes a different route. It isn’t tied to any picture at all, but plays like one anyway - charting a real relationship track by track. “It’s a soundtrack to a period of time that happened in my life,” Gibbons explains. “It’s not a film – we didn’t record any visuals of what happened – but it’s a musical journal, an audio diary if you will. Each track relates to certain events that happened in & around a relationship I had.”

CER015 sees Celestial Echo bring back one of the great modern soul 45s, Ramsey & Company – “Love Call”.

Coming out of New York in the late ’70s, Ramsey & Company was led by Mainor Ramsey, with the group originally playing the Catskills supper club circuit. Their only single was released privately on Ramsey’s own Ramco label, with copies sold at shows and barely making it into wider distribution. Like so many great soul records, it found its real afterlife much later, becoming a favourite across the UK modern soul and rare groove scene.

“Love Call” is the reason this record has carried such a reputation for so long. A beautifully arranged modern soul dancer, it has that perfect late ’70s balance of groove, song and musicianship. On the B-side, “Leg Grease” brings the funk.

Original copies are now almost impossible to find, often selling for serious money when it turns up and even the Lotus Land reissue has become expensive in its own right. This Celestial Echo edition puts the track back into circulation properly, cut loud and ready for the DJs and soul heads who have been waiting on a clean copy.

Celestial Echo is here to put proper soul records back into circulation — respectfully cut, properly pressed, and ready to play.

Different Strokes For Different Folks are proud to present the first ever vinyl reissue of Al Basim's legendary 'Revival' album, originally released via private press in 1979. Including elements of out-there guitar jams, spiritual jazz, kosmiche soaked rock and Middle Eastern ambience, this is truly a record to live with.

Head of Label, Oz Adams explains why this record is so special: "Every now and again you come across music that feels like you've opened a door to a room you've never been into before. 'Revival' is unique; a kaleidoscopic amalgamation of Arabic, U.S & European influences. Both reflective and deeply soulful, the songs sound like hymns beamed in from a better world."

'Revival' documents Baghdad-born musician Basim Al-Hashimi's once in a lifetime trip to the U.S in 1978 where his concoction of Arabic styles with the Western '60s and '70s rock so beloved of his youth came together to produce a record almost impossible to categorize. Led by his melodic guitar playing, the band move from psychedelic excursions through to meditative ambient sections, jazz inflected grooves and joyful, progressive motifs. Licensed directly from Basim Al Hashimi himself, this reissue package includes an interview with the man himself, outlining his journey towards the creation of both his U.S experience and the masterpiece it produced, as well as photos sourced from his personal archive.

Despite several attempts, 'Revival' has never been reissued before, so Different Strokes For Different Folks are delighted to release this milestone once again.

ABOUT THE LP:
"Hey there! My name is Terry Cole, and I have the privilege of operating a wonderful independent record label called Colemine Records in Loveland, Ohio. We’ve been doing it for almost 20 years, and we’re lucky enough to operate our label above our equally wonderful record shop called Plaid Room Records.

"In March of 2020, when the reality of a global pandemic set in, we weren’t sure what we were going to do as far as our release schedule. Everything sort of came to an immediate halt. But after a few weeks of brainstorming, we decided that even though our physical release schedule had been completely upended, we would pivot to releasing a new digital single every Thursday night until we were able to resume normal operations. We called the campaign Brighter Days Ahead, because at Colemine, we try to find the silver lining whenever we can. So, for the better part of 2020 we released digital singles every Thursday; we would have virtual listening parties and DJ sets on YouTube. It was pretty fun. All of those tunes culminated in a 2LP set that we finally released in its physical form in 2021. And while we hope nothing like a global pandemic ever happens again, I had to admit that I wanted to find a way to make the Brighter Days Ahead campaign some sort of permanent vehicle for us.

"It’s 2026 as I write this, so obviously it’s taken me a few years to conceive this idea, but we’ve finally arrived and it feels pretty damn good. The idea is pretty simple: the first volume of 'Brighter Days Ahead' took a retrospective approach...compiling what we had already released...and this time around we’re taking a prospective approach. What you hold in your hands is a preview of what’s to come. This record is a crystal ball looking deep into the musical future of 2027, and giving you a sneak preview as to what you can look forward to hearing from the Colemine universe. And guess what? This piece of plastic you hold in your hands is the only way to hear it. These tunes aren’t out digitally yet. Some of these are rough mixes. Some are so fresh the song titles aren’t even final. So tear off the plastic and strap in — you’re about to travel forward in time, no flux capacitor required."

Indigo Sparke returns with her third full-length album, 'There Is a Light on the Horizon Line', marking Sparke’s first album in over four years.

Produced by John Parish, whose decades-long creative partnership with PJ Harvey has birthed some of her most celebrated work, 'There Is a Light on the Horizon Line' was recorded in Bristol where Sparke - now based in California - decamped to work on the record at 33 weeks pregnant. That threshold - between one life and another - runs through the album. Written across a period of profound personal transformation, the songs explore love, motherhood, devotion, memory, identity and the strange ways we are remade by intimacy.

Musically, the album represents Sparke at her most expansive. The stark intimacy of her acclaimed debut album 'Echo' (2021) and widescreen emotionality of its quickfire follow-up 'Hysteria' (2022) remain, but here they meet a rawer, more visceral and instinctive band sound, with a ’90s alternative-rock current running through Sparke’s songwriting. Parish assembled an exceptional cast around the songs, including Portishead’s Adrian Utley, Seb Rochford and Shahzad Ismaily, alongside longtime collaborator Adam Brisbin.

The record also arrives with a remarkable story of artistic evolution. Sparke’s first two albums were made alongside Adrianne Lenker, Andrew Sarlo and Aaron Dessner; this third chapter with Parish continues an extraordinary lineage of collaborators while pushing her somewhere entirely new. In the four years since Hysteria, Sparke became a mother and expanded her creative practice into writing, fashion and visual storytelling. As such, 'There Is a Light on the Horizon Line' feels less like a return than a transformation. It captures an artist at a genuine threshold—between old and new selves, solitude and family, intimacy and expansiveness—and opens the door to the most ambitious chapter of Sparke’s career to date.

The Fratellis critically acclaimed fourth studio album, 'Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied', is now available for the first time on limited sunburst vinyl. After the release of 2013’s ‘We Need Medicine’, the band spent a year touring the world. At the tail end of 2014, they decamped to LA to work on album number four with Tony Hoffer (M83, Depeche Mode and Belle & Sebastian), who also produced their first album smash ‘Costello Music’. That unique, bright clarity of California sunshine seems to permeate the record and the band channelled it to create an album that represents what they do best. At the heart of ‘Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied’ there’s a fun, energetic soul reminiscent of their 2006 debut. With recognisable nods to 70s Cali-rock, rockabilly and glorious hints of Americana and country layered high, it’s a glorious homecoming with roots in both Scotland and LA. Littered with standout tracks; The foot stamping ‘Baby Don’t You Lie To Me!’, The spiralling riffs of ‘Getting Surreal’ and ‘Thief’ all big choruses and live crowd pleasers. ‘Dogtown’ parades along with its strident brass section and funk-driven bass line it’s early seventies Stevie Wonder covering The Beatles’ ‘Come Together’. While the delicate, drifting layers of ‘Moonshine’ bring us to a reflective, poised ending.

Italian multidisciplinary artist and electronic musician Lorenzo Senni presents his sixth album, 'All Ages'. The album, Senni’s first since 2020’s 'Scacco Matto', explores the electronic genres he’s best known for (experimental trance, rave) through the lens of hardcore punk; across music, skateboarding and straightedge culture. 

Presented in Senni’s own words as an “internal revolt” he makes use of vocals for the first time and breaks from his previously self-imposed limitations. Channeling the spirit of hardcore to fuel his enthusiasm for the future, and to re-engage more tacitly in the music-making process. It includes guest appearances from iconic American skateboarders Chad Muska and Jamie Thomas, and Jamie Stewart of experimental indie rock band Xiu Xiu.

Boris and Michio Kurihara collaborated for the first time from 2006-2008, releasing the albums 'Rainbow' and 'Cloud Chamber'. Ten years after (the years, not the band!) they got back together to play a show at FEVER in Tokyo. It was December 29th, 2018.

They ran through almost all their Rainbow songs with three additional Boris pieces and two from Kurihara. And so many missed it! Maybe even you? Now, international fans can be glad they’ve lived this long, if only because now they can get the whole show in a fantastic sounding two-LP package. How fantastic? The jacket: exquisite paper with pearl foil embossment lettering, a gate- fold with photos of the band and who knows, possibly the sky from the night of the show? The credits are inscribed on an inserted sheet of translucent vellum. REALLY fantastic!

With pristine live sound and effects from Soichiro Nakamura, longtime producer and former bandmate of Kurihara in Japan’s legendary psychedelic White Heaven, 'Live at FEVER 20181229' highlights selections from a heavy rock show focused on the 'Rainbow' songs, with even more Boris material, Kurihara solo songs and covers.

On that night eight years ago, Boris & Kurihara sound entirely ready to go all the places they need to go, employing easy power in a freewheeling yet practiced recital, visceral and granular as a matter of course. It’s simply what plugging in means to both artists, individually and collectively, to sound this awesome every time. This means the stage sound, recording, mix and pressing of 'Live at FEVER 20181229' are incredible! The band sounds massive AND pristine. Even without hearing much from the audience, you feel the sound of the room and the band charged by the presence of the audience. The feeling is alive.

Boris’ unique power trio have established dominance over the decades, in full evidence here. Kurihara’s moody brilliance comes through in full spectrum on 'Shine' and 'The Wind’s Twelve Quarters', but everywhere he can be heard and felt. He’s behind the boomeranging dynamic shifts on side 3, snapping the head from the surging 'Starship Narrator' to long moments of near silence at the start of 'My Rain', an extended elegance followed by the funky psych of 'Sweet No. 1'. These studied textures form a polar other to the rock. The chime and grime of Kurihara’s tone adds a magic spell to the sound.

The album’s well titled. It easily could have been Rainbow Live. Instead, a shuffling of the album order less one or two PLUS the addition of Boris and Kurihara songs make 'Live at FEVER 20181229' its own album experience. Just hearing the sound of a live experience distilled to the vinyl seems awesome and emotional. Imagine the raw wave!

First issued in 2006, 'Rainbow' marked the maiden voyage of notorious headbangers Boris and Michio Kurihara, famed lead guitarist of Ghost and White Heaven. Performed together with fantastic harmony, 'Rainbow' is not just a perfect combination; it is a meeting place, with all players aligned in a singular cause—to make an album whose music elevates the listener.

Twenty years later, Drag CIty are psyched as the dosed punch to do our very own vinyl edition, right on time for the album’s 20th anniversary vinyl. The jacket’s done up in classic Boris style—a Stoughton 12" Single Tip-on with special uncoated natural white paper, Holographic foil stamping, and custom front sticker, with lyrics reproduced on an insert of translucent vellum.

For such a formidable combine of noise-making rock ‘n rollers, 'Rainbow’s negative spaces provide as much definition as their distorted guitars. Boris’ trio are all avid experimentalists. Kurihara’s guitar goes from whisper to scream effortlessly, applying a distinctive tattoo to the musical flesh of their collaboration.

Make no mistake: 'Rainbow' does not lack for speaker-shredding intensity. Opening with the power of 'Rafflesia', 'Rainbow' paces itself with short pop songs providing interludes among extended expeditions. A glockenspiel glimmers in the distance, Takeshi and Wata trade vocals, muted beauty is rocked open with droning, tom-pounding jams. A prism of sound colors shifts gracefully, giving the album its proper name.

'Rainbow’s a heavy rock album with classic melodic aims captured at an apex of hi-fi stereo recording. Boris arrays their rock elegantly, with great care and vigor, and Kurihara’s carefully contoured guitar tones accompany them with great sensitivity, whether playing Mesozoan stomps, serrated riffs or floating meditations.

The Chopi Timbila is one of Africa's great orchestral traditions. The tradition lives in Zavala, Mozambique, and continually references Chopi ancestors. Their mwenje wood xylophones are tuned in seven equidistant pitches giving them a microtonal quality starkly different from the tempered scale (European classical music, the Beatles, etc). From enormous sub-bass behemoths to higher-pitched, sometimes shoulder-strapped instruments, there are five types of xylophones in the orchestra. They anchor a defined musical structure rooted in rural life and a strong sense of community. The ensembles consist of varying ages and skill levels (beginners through masters) and new song cycles are composed and performed each year. In 2008 UNESCO listed it as Intangible Cultural Heritage and people across Mozambique recognize it as one of the most complex and beautiful forms of traditional music in the region.
The seemingly monolithic, chaotic sound of Timbila Ta Venâncio at full tilt is disorienting at first, until the undulations wash over the listener, sync somewhere internally and become invigorating.

Yet all the rhythmic energy bubbling through this recording is more than a ritual. It follows a cadence that begins within the family. The group's members are all brothers. That is hardly surprising: they are the sons of the celebrated Venâncio Mbande, a true master of timbila. An icon and the focal point of timbila festivals during much of his lifetime (he died in 2015), leaving us the legacy presented here. 'Ecos do Legado' (Echoes of the Legacy) is a new recording made in a state-of-the-art Studio Bom Dia in Inhambane Province in 2026. This album stands as a monument to the master Venâncio Mbande, a tribute to the Chopi people, and an interpretation of Mbande's unforgettable work.

The order of the pieces is not random: they are interconnected and tell a coherent story. The ten pieces unfold in the traditional sequence across two sides, following long-established principles. Learning to play begins very early and unfolds naturally, since children are in constant contact with the instruments. Women, too, are now beginning to take an interest in this cycle of learning. This is a clear sign that the tradition remains vibrantamong the Vatxopi, who regard timbila as the heart of their culture.

Jetstream Pony combine post-punk, indie-pop and power-pop, featuring Beth Arzy (The Luxembourg Signal/Trembling Blue Stars/Aberdeen) on vocals and percussion, Shaun Charman (The Wedding Present/The Popguns/The Fireworks) on guitar and vocals, and Kerry Boettcher (Turbocat) on bass and vocals. The group also currently includes Tom Levesley on drums and Mark Matthews (The Dentists/The Treasures Of Mexico) on second guitar.

The group released their debut single ‘Like You Less / Had Enough’ in late 2017. Two sold out singles followed, leading up to the self-titled debut studio album in May 2020. The album received fantastic reviews, selling out two pressings before being reissued (twice) by Spinout Nuggets in the Autumn and reaching many best-of-year lists.

Another single release, ‘If Not Now, When?’, also sold out later in 2020, and a following mini-album ‘Misplaced Words’ arrived in December 2021, developing the sound from the debut with a balance between indie-pop and something darker - twelve-string guitar and harmonies, but underpinned by heavy bass, and sometimes a two-drummer rhythm section.

Another album followed in 2025, titled ‘Bowerbirds And Blue Things’, with Tom and Mark now included in the recordings, the album also including guest vocals from Eleni Poulou (formerly The Fall).

In the early years, demos were recorded on an iPad by Shuan, and these have now been gathered on an album for sharing - it's Schrammelig.

'What Is Truth?' is the third full-length album from Philadelphia based slowcore band Knifeplay, and their first for indie label Double Double Whammy. It marks a full departure from the band's shoegaze roots, moving into something more spacious and lyrics-forward: slow-burning arrangements rooted in slowcore and "apocalyptic folk". Where earlier Knifeplay records searched, this one arrives with intention. Written and recorded as a band in a room rather than built from bedroom demos, it is the group's most deliberate work to date. Songwriter Tj Strohmer turns away from purely personal confession toward something larger: a meditation on love and art as the only things that stay true while the modern world falls into decline. The result is heavy and unflinching, but never hopeless. Beneath the darkness runs a steady thread of resilience and, finally, redemption. Across the album, the music moves from reckoning to something like grace. 'Love Song', the lead single, sits with the loneliness of carrying your own trauma and hoping to be understood and accepted anyway. The closing track, 'Please Let the Children Be Artists', with French horn and flute drifting over mellotron strings, lands as a plea for healing, with love and art offered as a way back to ourselves.

Grapefruit Records is proud to announce the release of 'Flourish', Sarah Mary Chadwick’s eleventh studio record. It’s a sprawling, 80-minute double album which does what the best double albums attempt to do—take us on a journey with a cinematic arc in kodachrome honesty. In this case it’s a hero’s journey as 'Flourish' is furious, feminist, funny and occasionally danceable as it documents a near paralysingly difficult year.

While spoken word and hip-hop is a departure for Chadwick, her literate lyricism invites us to challenge what we think we know about her as a songwriter. It is equal parts Death Grips, Kim Gordon, Earl Sweatshirt and Girls On Fire. In a masterclass of songwriting she uses women’s hairstyles as a metaphor for how talented women are depicted as dangerous or crazy: “Change your hair, ask for the Anne Sexton…..Ask for the Sylvia Plath, you’ll look good with that…Get your hair done fresh, ask for the Anne Heche.” She also name-checks Janet Frame, DMX, and transforms Stephen Crane’s famous line into “because it is glitter, because it is my heart.”

Musically, it’s DIY and scrappy as Chadwick recorded, mixed and mastered the album herself at home while figuring out how to get the fried sounds and sonic plunderphonics necessary for her dive into a new musical language. One can hear the pure joy of discovery she finds in looping and sampling and spitting out lyrics in a new way. She is playful, vengeful and confessional twirling the idiom in her freshly manicured hand like a shiny disco ball.

The record details and deconstructs Chadwick’s recovery from an abusive relationship, a life event that is dwarfed by the powerful rhetoric around a woman’s experience and violence towards women. À la The Guerilla Girls, her feminist ferocity is palpable and liberating as she takes swipes at pop culture and the patriarchy with humor and withering wit.

Huford Brown, under his performing name U Brown, was one of a new generation of reggae MCs who emerged in the late 1970s, building on the success of the pioneers of the game, most notably Daddy U Roy.

He was a well-known figure, who was early on signed to Richard Branson’s Virgin Frontline label, recording at both Channel One and King Tubby’s with many of the island’s top musicians. At the same time, he set up his own Hit Sound label, where he recorded soulful roots recordings that built on a young man’s deep love of reggae’s at-the-time short history, while also moving into the emerging sounds of dancehall.

David Hill from Soul Revivers has put together this fantastic compilation, showcasing the very best of U Brown’s production output, which appeared on a number of labels, including Hit Sound and Tanker. This is the first compilation of Browns work to appear on vinyl and includes previously-unknown dubplate mixes of cuts by Al Campbell, including his classic ‘Give The People’.

The album also features under-recorded vocalist Vincent Taylor, the legendary vocalist Delroy Wilson, with two rare 12-inch cuts, the lilting instrumental sound of Bobby Ellis & Deadly Headly, and the dancehall classic by Carlton Livingstone ‘Hey Mr DJ’.

This is the sound of a young producer hustling to get heard in the over-crowded Jamaican record scene. Many of these records sunk from trace at the time, but listened to today, stand up with the very best.
