To celebrate World Piano Day (March 29th), Georgia Ruth is releasing ‘Cooler Head’ today, a companion EP to her celebrated 2024 album Cool Head. Watch Georgia recording the tracks live and read her exclusive Track-by-Track.

With lightness and an ear for a concise and cutting phrase, Clara Mann alchemises her experience into a universal emotional reaction on ‘Rift’. In the space of a debut, she has gone from ‘one to watch’ to one of the best songwriters in the country.

‘no floor’ is more eaze & claire rousay’s most organic and free-flowing record to date. With not a wasted note to be heard, it’s full of ideas, using the collage form to its full potential; an impeccably crafted album and highly recommended.

Taken from their forthcoming album Remscéla, London-based duo Milkweed share the video for their latest single ‘The Pangs Of Ulster’ that tells of a curse that incapacitated the men of Ulster with the same pain felt by women in labour.

Taken from his latest album, End of the Middle, Richard Dawson shares the video for his unashamedly sentimental album finale ‘More than Real’. “There’s no holding it back,” admits Dawson. “It’s quite glorious, hopeful – and terribly sad.”

The Deep Dark Woods return with their first new music since Broadside Ballads Vol. III. Watch the accompanying video to Ruby, a tender psychedelic waltz in which late-evening thoughts swirl around your head, cut adrift with no point of anchor.

Watch Bridget Hayden & The Apparitions’ brooding live performance of ‘When I Was In My Prime’ at Todmorden Unitarian Church, where they’ll perform again in June for the Basin Rock all-dayer ‘Down Off The Tops’ also featuring Jim Ghedi, Juni Habel, Duncan Marquiss & Kevin Fowley.

Dick Gaughan: R/evolution 1969-84, is an 8-disc box set that aims to preserve and celebrate Dick’s legacy as well as remunerate him fairly and squarely for that work. To celebrate, enjoy 26 KLOF Mag Mixtapes from over the years featuring the man himself.

Japanese musician and songwriter Satomimagae shares her latest single, ‘Omajinai,’ which considers the vague mystery and infinite poetry in even the most transient moments. Watch the accompanying video by Norio, which brings the simple yet lucid story to life.

Alasdair Roberts and Màiri Morrison share their catchy new single, “The Bonny House of Airlie”. Watch the accompanying video, featuring photos of the crew’s trip to Nova Scotia to record the album.

Cameron Knowler’s “CRK” is a pivotal and adventurous album that feels both timeless and forward-looking. With its diverse and engaging character and mature and assured arrangements, he’s crafted a fine and highly recommended album.

To commemorate his remarkable music career and 84th birthday, folk music legend Martin Carthy will release “Transform Me Then Into A Fish” on May 21st, 2025.

Experimental, trippy, fiercely creative and quite mesmerising, Whitney Johnson & Lia Kohl’s ‘For Translucence’ is a tricky album to pin down, but you’ll be glad you gave it the time and space to reveal itself.
