Graham Mackenzie and the six musicians he has assembled for ‘The Dawning’ have not only successfully fused the styles and techniques of the folk tradition with the structures of jazz, they’ve also created music that delights and intrigues in equal measure but, above all, is hugely enjoyable.

Rose City Band announces new album ‘Garden Party’, a celebration of summer and all it brings. Listen to their new single ‘Chasing Rainbows’ which begins the beautiful cosmic journey.

Critically acclaimed Irish quartet Lankum announce their new album ‘False Lankum’ today. They have shared the first single ‘Go Dig My Grave’ with a video by Peadar Gill/Vicky Langan (also our Song of the Day) – I think this new album will go far beyond expectations.

Our Song of the Day is Latin White, the new single from Xylouris White. The short vibrant dance piece is taken from their new album, The Forest In Me. Watch the accompanying video by Rebecca E. Marshall.

Complete Mountain Almanac may well be the boldest, most daring album to come out all year. Its unique blending of sounds and structures makes it required listening for anybody that appreciates everything that music can be and do.

On Sex & Dying, Marin Patenaude gets right into the nitty-gritty essence of human existence…don’t shy away, rather revel in its luxuriant sonics, acknowledge its poetry and, as you listen – just as she has – maybe ponder what it is to be human.

Featuring a guest appearance from Jerry Douglas, ‘Sonny’s Dream’ is the first single from Daoirí Farrell’s upcoming fourth album, ‘The Wedding Above In Glencree’. I’ve never heard Farrell sound so good, which is why I’ve no hesitation in making this our Song of the Day.

More experimental in character and challenging in places than his last album, Bile Bear’s “Cage Mates” is a sure sign of creative progression from a musician who remains intriguing and quite singular. 

For her new album Domestic Sphere, Josephine Foster performs solely with her electric guitar; watch the accompanying video for her lead single, Pendulum. “These songs are vigils, melodies sung intently, to be set aflame and sung off with the wind.”

The Little Unsaid is to release a 15-track live album titled Live At The Pound. It was recorded at Pound Arts in Corsham at the end of a difficult 2022 tour for an online concert, watch them performing Milltown and Big Red.

With ‘How Can I Say This?’, an all-woman-supported project with contributions from over 40 artists, Annie Capps finds a way to speak about the hard things in her life in the most eloquent and moving way. 

Meg Baird’s ‘Furling’ is unlike anything she has done before. Impressively, she and Charlie Saufley recorded every instrument and the intimacy of their musical connection is plain to see. Baird has mastered the balancing act between maturity and eclecticism perfectly, and the results are spellbinding.
