Shot on a wind-up Bolex camera by filmmaker and musician Scott Carney, watch Shadwick Wilde’s video for his new single ‘Easy Rider’; a grateful rumination on a lived-in relationship.

Our Song of the Day is ‘The Longest Day’, the lead single from Outliers, the new indie folk project from Jenny Sturgeon & Boo Hewerdine. Lyrically and musically, their stripped-back approach delivers surprising poetic depth.

Murmurs & Whispers is the first proper album from P.G. Six since 2011’s Starry Mind. Listen to the album’s lead single ‘I Have Known Love’, a remarkably heartfelt and transcendent listen and our Song of the Day.

In our latest playlist we explore ‘Ambient Country’ and a flourishing scene of musicians who create ambient experimental music that draws from Americana, new folk, electronic, psychedelia and more.

Our Song of the Day is ‘Should We Tell Him’, the title track of the new album from Brooks Williams and Rab Noakes. This was Rab’s final recording… “Hopefully, you’ll catch a glimpse of the vibe of the recording sessions. It was out of this world.”

Listen to the Monday Morning Brew ft. Penguin Cafe, Fairport Convention, Cate Le Bon, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Ola Bella Reed, Joshua Burnside & Laura Quirke, Jake Xerxes Fussell, Michael Hurley, Kevin Moby & Waxahatchee, Allison Russell, Ali Farka Touré and more.

Manchester-based trumpeter, bandleader and composer Matthew Halsall announces his new album, An Ever Changing View, and shares a beautifully scenic video for lead single ‘Water Street’, also our Tune of the Day…There’s a freshness to this music that envelopes the listener and makes you want to hit repeat.

Ruth Theodore shares video for her latest single ‘Thompson’, featuring dancers Jennifer Delve and Haitian-born French musician-songwriter Renes BBWI – “…a very intimate song about falling in love and falling asleep.”

Sourdurent, the new Occitan-language group project from French folk experimentalist Ernest Bergez, share their brilliantly inventive video for La Dumenchada – set in medieval times and aided by psychotropic drugs, the poor reap the riches of the wealthy.

Clare Sands is joined by Brian Finnegan of FLOOK on her anthemic new single Dealán Dé, an ancient word from County Donegal meaning both butterfly and Northern lights – watch the accompanying video directed and shot by visual artists and twin sisters Liadain and Kasia Kaminska.
