Our latest KLOF Mixtape opens with Áine Gordon, a Belfast singer-songwriter. We’ve new tunes from Jeffrey Silverstein, Blair Dunlop, Adela Mede & Štefan Szabó, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, and, released today, a track from Joe Harvey-Whyte & Bobby Lee’s new AA Single Twin Peaks Theme/The Hired Hand. A special mention goes to “Rundinas”, Maria Teresa Pirrigheddu and Vieri Mura’s new album, out this month on Mississippi Records.
Jeffrey Silverstein, whose new album “Doggone” is out now, talks us through ten objects from his home. There is a Daniel Johnston drawing, and a harmonica from his grandpa that sits in front of him whenever he plays guitar. “Music, as much as possible, should be fun,” he says in our latest Off the Shelf feature.
Colin Stetson and Brìghde Chaimbeul are billed as a duo for the first time on “All the Light in the World”. Recorded in January during a lengthy snowfall, it has a distinctly wintery feeling. Avant-garde saxophone and traditional Scottish smallpipes may sound a strange match, but in their hands it feels like they were made for each other.
Garefowl have shared a video for “Buthaigir/Puffin”, from their album “Things That Vanish” (AD 93). Director Luke Nairn and animator Liam Painter combine live stop-motion stone animations with 16mm performance footage. Nairn says he wanted it to feel “like you’re flipping through a picture book about a folk tale.”
Spencer Cullum, Erin Rae and Hollow Hand’s Max Kinghorn-Mills made “Banquet Rock” in four days at Chale Abbey Studios on the Isle of Wight. Lead single “Far Below The Willows” is inspired by Wind In The Willows and Syd Barrett, with jaunty piano lines and country-leaning instrumentation. The album will be out February 26th, 2027, on Full Time Hobby.
Alasdair Roberts & Fredrik Rasten announce their new album, Seven Weathers, a new collection of traditional folk songs of Scottish origin, due for release on January 29th, 2027, via Drag City. Watch the accompanying video “Lady Maisry”, a mesmerising, beautiful and haunting lead single and folk ballad.
Mario Batkovic’s new album “I I” arrives on Invada Records a decade after his first solo album. It takes a more immediate and more radical approach to his exploratory practice with the accordion. Destruction and creation became a major theme, as demonstrated in the Yves Marchon-Directed video for MUNDUS.
