Broken Stay Open Sky is the fourth album from the now London-based Cornish 60s psych-folk styled six-piece Red River Dialect. Released on Paradise of Bachelors it’s sure to bring them the extra attention they deserve.

Del Day shares his personal highlights from this year’s UK Americana Awards at the Hackney Emire which included a stunning showcase, a Tom Petty tribute and wins for Robert Vincent, Robert Plant, Yola Carter, Emily Barker, Sam Outlaw, Thomas Collison and more.

Watch The Day is Golden by The Little Unsaid, a deeply personal song that deals with a journey through mental illness. The video was filmed at sunrise on St Agnes in the Isles of Scilly. It’s also the title of their UK concert tour ahead of their new album Selected Works being released on Reveal Records.

It may not all be wholly autobiographical in a literal sense, but the emotional authenticity is clear, another terrific example of how exposing and exorcising personal pain can produce an artist’s best work while touching universal chords and perhaps giving voice to those less articulate in seeking catharsis.

Truly, the most remarkable thing about I’m With Her is not the individual command, but the dedicated effort towards a cohesive artistic vision. The beauty of the album is the synchronicity, the careful listening on the part of each band member that creates a simply stunning album.

Our Song of the Day comes from Sam Moss, a musician who lives in Boston. Neon is his latest single and the title track of his forthcoming album set for release in March 2018. He’s certainly a name you want to keep on your radar.

While Will Varley may have produced his darkest album to date, with the extra dimensions afforded by the fuller instrumentation, it’s also arguably also his strongest.

It’s often said that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and this album applies salve to the wound and sets about the healing. Just like the medical box of their name, every home should have one.

Songs About a Train confirms that Reg Meuross is, unequivocally, quite simply one of the finest singer-songwriters of our, or any other, times.  His songs leave you with memories that are ‘released into your musical world to haunt you for years to come’.

The Gloaming will play seven sold-out shows at Dublin’s National Concert Hall in March, their only live appearances of 2018. To mark this occasion, Real World Records will release Live at the NCH, a live album recorded at the beautiful concert hall. Listen to The Booley House.         

If you like your music honest and free from studio beeps and production flourishes and your vocals real and untouched by autotune, then this new album from Anglo-American duo Cath and Phil Tyler should hold you. Well worth the eight-year wait.

There’s far more to Undersong than the time Salt House spent recording on the tiny Hebridean island of Berensay, with seasoned producer Andy Bell. Undersong is a highly accomplished album of wonderful music, that singles Salt House out as a trio of exceptional talent.
