Released 4th September 2026 Before Brian Eno did it, Mort Garson was making discreet music. Julliard-educated and active as a session player in the post-war era, Garson wrote lounge hits, scored the 1969 moon-landing and plush arrangements for Doris Day, and garlanded weeping countrypolitan strings around Glen Campbell's By the Time I Get to Phoenix. Now, 50 years after its original release, Mother Earth' Plantasia marks a major anniversary moment. Half a century on, it continues to resonate ...

Released 31st July 2026 SK says: "An intense and meaningful connection to the natural world is a hallmark of a Shearwater record- perhaps no surprise, bandleader Jonathan Meiburg is a qualified biologist and published author- and the songs here, augmented by birdcalls and field recordings, find it a theme that has become all the more urgent in a world of AI, deepfakes and political deception. Comparison to Talk Talk is almost irresistible, not just because of the aural similarity of Meiburg's...

Released 8th May 2026 SK says: 'Completing a trilogy of sorts for the Captured Tracks label which has seen the prodigiously talented D'Addario brothers focus their obvious musical chops into highly melodic throwback radio hits that could have arrived straight from the Golden Age of guitar pop, Look For Your Mind! is trippier than its predecessors, leaning more into the 60's end of their sound than the 70's they explored on A Dream Is All We Know. They've never shied from wearing their influen...

Released 1st May 2026 SK says: 'The godfathers of Midwest emo return with a third full-length since they reformed back in 2016. Having iterated and refined their trademark blend of cascading guitar arpeggios and dark lyrics burnished occasionally by vibraphones and trumpet across three albums in twenty-five years, LP4 sees them probe new ground with tasteful contributions from members of Turnstile and Rainer Maria. At times recalling the interlocking experimentation of fellow Chicagoans Torto...

A work of rigorous invention and revision, the album’s themes of personal and relationship evolution “came into clarity after they were all done,” according to Emerson. The making of Changes was, appro...
