Sandwood, the superb EP from Sam Grassie, proves him to be a top-class singer, guitarist, and skilled and imaginative interpreter. Joined by a superb cast, including Naima Bock on one track, you couldn’t ask for a stronger start—an exceptional solo debut offering.

Leyla McCalla shares her new single, ‘Love We Had’, originally written and performed by Ethiopian artist and activist Ali Mohammed Birra.

Laura J Martin shares her video for ‘Prepared’, the title track of her new solo album (& our Song of the Day) – the birdwatching video is her tribute to her binocular days, the ever-changing silence of quiet obsessions and the joy of camo…

Another Monday Morning Brew featuring Sheherazaad, Kath Bloom & Loren Connors, Laraaji, Jamie Branch, Sons Of Zöku, Ana Lua Caiano, Trá Pháidín, Two Headed Horse, Magic in the Other with Ezra Lipp, Blind Yeo, Criatura, Preston Lovinggood, Hiss Golden Messenger, John Lurie and more.

Hailing from Lisbon, Ana Lua Caiano is the latest signing to Glitterbeat – her fusion of electronic and traditional Portuguese music is empowering, inspiring and confrontational.

On ËNDLËSS, Adelaide-based 6-piece Sons of Zöku concoct an upbeat, heady blend of psychedelic rock that blends in sing-along chants and a limb-stretching mass of influences including Eastern music, folk, jazz and soul—made for carefree, long summer days.

Richard Thompson announces his new studio album “Ship to Shore” and shares his lead single, a swaying shanty titled “Singapore Sadie” that fans may recognise. Plus, details of his US and UK Tour Dates and Limited Edition releases.

On Qasr, the defiance and courage of Sheherazaad translates into some of the most wondrous and exhilarating music I’ve ever heard. There isn’t another album like it; it’s transformational, and everyone should own a copy.

Taken from her forthcoming album ‘Late Slap’, Dana Gavanski shares her Talking Heads-esque single/video ‘Ears Were Growing’ – an escapist dream that spirals back to the reality of being stuck on the same old sofa with the same old thoughts.

Watch Hatis Noit’s latest video for Jomon, an incredible 3-D animation by Berlin-based Taiwanese-Japanese media artist NAOWAO, that takes inspiration from Japan’s ancient Jōmon culture.

Mdou Moctar reveal the lead single and video of their new album ‘Funeral for Justice’ on which their songs speak unflinchingly to the plight of Niger and of the Tuareg people. Primed with a new sense of purpose and urgency, their music is louder, faster, and fiery.

To mark the release of ‘Folklore 1979’, the acclaimed new album from Milkweed, watch the full-length 11-minute accompanying video created by Greg Butler of Oh Kestrel Films…it unspools like a single disjointed dream narrative, taking in ritual, extinction, migration, esoteric cosmogony and Arthurian legend.
