Taken from their new album, Nunnery Norheim share their music video for ‘Magical Times’, a song written from the point of view of a shy teenage girl, obsessed with space and science, who sees beauty and possibility in the world but feels so far from it.

On her new album Lullabies, Abigail Lapell illuminates some of the darker themes lurking beneath the surface of so many beloved folk tunes. Watch her video for “Isabeau”, a traditional French lullaby.

For his newly announced album When the Roses Come Again, out November 17th on Three Lobed Recordings, Daniel Bachman exits the steel string world where he started and tiptoes into a new one, where apparitions and nature inhabit compositions in a musical, genealogical garden.

Cylene II is the new materialization of the collaboration between François J. Bonnet & Stephen O’Malley. The first revelation is “Rainbows”, which features guitars in duet; a sound that reaches from the deep and scales up to the far firmament in its careful motion.

Cardiff-based songwriter and instrumentalist Gareth Bonello, aka The Gentle Good, is our latest ‘Off the Shelf’ guest, in which we ask artists to present objects from their homes and talk about them. Gareth’s new album, Galargan, is out now on Bubblewrap Collective.
