Umarells

One More Day

    After forming on a group trip to Blackpool, Manchester-based quartet Umarells have announced their debut EP 'One More Day' via Fear of Missing Out Records.

    The record circles peaks, plummets, and upside-down turns for a front-row seat on the emotional Big Dipper of life. The faded sparkle of the Blackpool seaside trails through five postcards of smouldering indie-rock on the EP.

    Liam says: We loved last year's 7" from the Umarells, and this new EP is no different! With the title track being one of our fave indie tracks of the year, there's plenty of dreamy jangle on here from this Manchester lot (we sure haven't lost it as a city) - don't snooze on this!

    Umarells

    You're Not Here / Closer

      Manchester four-piece Umarells release their debut 7” “You’re Not Here / Closer” on 03 November 2023 via Fear of Missing Out Records. Named after the Italian word for retired men who watch construction sites, Umarells channel the blissed-out shoegaze of Beach House; the hushed vocal deliveries of Crumb and the analogue warmth of Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

      Laura says: Gorgeous shimmering dream-pop from this Manchester 4-piece.

      Maria BC

      Hyaline

        ‘Hyaline’ is the debut album from Ohio-born, Oakland, CAbased artist and songwriter, Maria BC. Following last year’s debut EP, ‘Devil’s Rain’, which received critical praise from Pitchfork, BBC Radio 6 Music, KEXP and more, Maria recorded ‘Hyaline’ across their untreated Brooklyn apartment in Summer 2021, like a wandering spirit gaining energy from different spaces. Their classically trained mezzosoprano voice soars over raw, ethereal guitars; audio samples from Prospect Park - now almost unrecognizable - settle alongside tender, transformative harmonies.

        Mixing together different sessions, tracks recorded directly into their phone and samples collected over the years, Maria BC likens ‘Hyaline’ to a ‘sonic collage’. It’s a project of patience and trusting the process.

        ‘Hyaline’, the album title, describes something that is clear and translucent like glass, especially a smooth sea. For Maria, songwriting is a stretched blank canvas awaiting the strokes of an exhale, and it’s this slow-moving process that rewards us the ease of a crystalline sky, without forgetting the clouds that may have come before it.

        A knife's-edge balance of intimacy and ambiguity, ‘Hyaline’ accesses snapshots of grief, anxiety and wonder through a miscellany of spectres: these are ghost stories, but not as we know them.
