My Morning Jacket - is

Expected Release 21st March 2025 SK says: 'A kaleidoscopic record that showcases the breadth of Jim James' muse and the tightness of the band. "Everyday Magic" is underpinned by a monster guitar riff hook but is followed by a track which can only really be described as the Everlys do D'yer Mak'er, while "Time Waited" is built around cascading, Bill Evans-esque piano and "Squid Ink" is the kind of dramatic, dark wigout that adorned the band's early LPs. Ten studio albums in and in their third ...

Released 7th March 2025 SK says: "Isbell strips things back to acoustic guitar and voice on his most immediate and affecting set of songs since Southeastern. A timely reminder of his skill as a fluid but never showy guitar player and a sensitive but starkly realist songwriter." Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Jason Isbell is one of the most respected and celebrated artists of his generation. The North Alabama native possesses an incredible penchant for identifying and articulating some...

Released 21st February 2025 SK says: "The North Shields Springsteen teams up with another aficionado of the Boss, The War on Drugs' Adam Granduciel, for a blockbuster record that bears the latter's passion for 80s tones and meticulous production without diluting Fender's distinctive voice and unflinching but often poetic lyrics." Sam Fender’s third studio album, People Watching, released via Polydor Records on 21st February 2025 was written over the last 3 years and recorded in London and L.A...

Nubya Garcia - Odyssey

Released 13th September 2024 SK says: "The British saxophonist widens the lens on her sophomore album as leader, with lush string arrangements offering a distinct, London-flavoured take on the kind of expansive cosmic jazz that Kamasi Washington has embodied on the other side of the pond." Nubya Garcia isn’t an artist you can easily classify. Is it jazz? Sure, the London-born saxophonist, composer and bandleader grew up studying the genre under the noted pianist Nikki Yeoh at Camden Music. Bu...

Released on 23rd August via XL Recordings, ROMANCE is the band’s first album with producer James Ford and is without doubt their most assured, inventive and sonically adventurous record yet.

Released 12th July 2024 Cassandra Jenkins is quite simply one of the best songwriter-storytellers currently making music. Hers is a specific and singular corner of the Great American Songwriters, artists like David Berman, Adrianne Lenker, Jeff Tweedy and Sufjan Stevens. They’re artists connected by a sense of immediacy, not just in the writing – which is precise, evocative, brutal at times, pitch-back funny right when you need it – but by their delivery, by the way they sing with an immersiv...

Released 14th June 2024.

As driving force for the lauded State Champion, long-running member of Tropical Trash, administrator of the esoteric and excellent Cropped Out festival, and lone proprietor of the Sophomore Lounge label, Davis lays down his first proper ‘so...
