‘Lamplighter’ is a melodic, seemingly upbeat, pop song - “It’s the poppiest song on the album and we created our own tape machine mellotron especially for it”

‘1st of the year’  is an awakening with a heady slice of realisation that everything’s not going to work out as planned – as perfectly illustrated in the cathartic video directed by Thala and Nils Ladewig

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
