2025

Nashville-based group Echolalia share their video for ‘Blood Moon’; pastoral-tinged and wide-open, it underpins their relaxed un-Nashville approach to recording this album.

Six years after their eponymous debut, Julie Fowlis, Éamon Doorley, Zoë Conway, and John Mc Intyre return with Allt Vol. II: Cuimhne, an album harmonious in every aspect: magnificent vocals, classy musicianship, and absorbing airy arrangements.

Taken from Cold Blows the Rain, the new eight-song collection from experimental musician Bridget Hayden, watch her latest music video for the traditional folk ballad Factory Girl, featuring archive footage from 1904 and 1956.

The performances on Bridget Hayden’s ‘Cold Blows the Rain’ are spellbinding. It’s an album as distinct and vivid as its characters are dark and illusory.

Our first Monday Morning Brew of 2025 features music from Alice Hebborn, Marta Del Grandi, Bridget Hayden, Trevor Beale, Damien Jurado, Mari Mathias, Rachel Sermanni, Broadcast, Sonny Smith, Papa M, Arthur Russell, Constant Follower and more.

Sam Amidon’s Salt River is an album whose full kaleidoscopic experience is revealed through repeated listens. Eclectic is an easily applied word, but here we have an artist releasing a groundbreaking, spirited and adventurous album that is genuinely worthy of the description.
