Thala follows last year’s critically-acclaimed EPs ‘In Theory Depression’  and ‘twotwentytwo’  with a new single, ‘don’t want u to die’, an uplifting parable filled with modern-day melancholy, it’s a cathartic cut of pop that surges with dramatic heft and executed with pinpoint precision

‘Memorial Waterslides’ is the debut album from MEMORIALS, an otherworldly, surrealist pop record that is both timeless and timely, displaying a rare mix of classic songwriting and avant-garde attitudes. They create panoramic pop that draws on both the familiar and the strange, while also treading new ground

Isle-of-Eigg dwelling psych-pop wonder Pictish Trail, AKA Johnny Lynch, released his acclaimed fifth album 'Island Family'  in 2022. As he works on a much-anticipated follow-up, Johnny has decided to revisit the family of songs that made up 'Island Family'  once again, and present “reduxes” of three of them in brand new, stripped-back form, recorded together with a specially assembled trio of musicians: Semay Wu on cello, Gillian Fleetwood on harp, and long-time collaborator Susan Bear on keys/bass

MEMORIALS, the duo consisting of Verity Susman and Matthew Simms (previously of Electrelane and Wire), release their debut single ‘Acceptable Experience’, built on two interlocked bass lines, dancing Farfisa riffs and layered tape loops. It describes a fate of unrealised plans, missed boats and dashed hopes as life changes course and spirals away beyond control: “Expect so much and receive so few returns, it’s a long running curse”.
