The Reds, Pinks and Purples release their new album, Acknowledge Kindness on April 24. The 11 tracks illuminate the life of prolific songwriter Glenn Donaldson in an emotional amalgamation of past, present and possible futures
Italian singer-songwriter Marta Del Grandi releases her new album 'Dream Life' today via Fire Records, her first new music since the effortlessly refined devotional pop of her 'Selva' album in 2023. The album reflects a growing awareness that we cannot fully control the future or the outcome of our plans. This thread weaves throughout the record, a journey that is poetic, ironic, and deeply grounded in the present.
The third single from the impending debut album from singer songwriter Haylie Davis, ‘Young Man’ is a lament for misplaced affection propelled by an echoey, yearning steel guitar. Dipping deep into Emmylou Harris’ knapsack, it’s a modern paean to a gone-too-soon acquaintance who never quite focussed on the events at hand
Today she shares the final pre-release music from the album, the title track which examines the quantum leap between reality and our dreams and ambitions, and "Shoe Shaped Cloud," a brooding study of a relationship gone awry that’s propelled by an aching vocal which recalls Radiohead at their most brittle.
‘New Leaf’ teases with a perpetual guitar line plucking at the heartstrings while a sub-melody cushions Glenn Donaldson’s nostalgic musings and marks the first taste of a new album to arrive this year
Arriving fully formed, lucky break’s ‘Darklight’ is a playful, self-assured, and self-actualized piece of music from someone who has more than found her voice. Helping the young musician make sense of the world though her songwriting, ‘Darklight’ is a euphoric slice of indie rock and effortless pop that shines its light on turbulent relationships
'Long March Through the Jazz Age' is the last recorded work by Chris Bailey and The Saints. It’s a moving farewell - a testament to a restless, uncompromising artist who always moved forward, one of rock’s great lyricists and iconoclasts
‘Country Boy’ is an aching lament to lost outsiders confronted by the big city; in some ways an answer to Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ that resonates like an out-take from Linda Rondstadt’s classic Silk Purse, complete with a wailing steel guitar
Today she shares the latest single "Alpha Centauri", a haunting introspective slice of pop magic that allows Marta’s vocal to prowl in nostalgia for teenage times, rediscovering her inner child while a distant tuba carries a counter melody.
