Different Geographies, the new album from Collectress, is an exploration of both traditions and technology, a fusion of neo-classical chamber pop and radical experimentation. It is varied and connected, intuitive and vibrant, and draws together experiences and influences from across the globe.

Fierce Flowers have not just embraced Americana, they have grabbed it by the lapels and plunged it into their own pot-boiler blend of Parisian and European flavours. They are an ensemble whose music is an absolute delectation to discover. Bon appetit!

The Loft Tapes is a powerful and heady cocktail, yet at times almost mystical as well, bringing together the flavours and ingredients of four different continents, and producing a sumptuous feast for the ears.

‘Flux’ takes tide and time as its theme, but uses it ferociously to highlight the inequality and selfishness that we have introduced into our world. This is surely Rachael Dadd’s most potent work to date.

Recorded live, Los Pirañas’s “Historia Natural” tumbles out of the speakers as an eccentric cacophony of experimentation and retroism, it has more flavours and blends than a Bogota coffee house. A potent brew indeed.

An album of incredible warmth and sentiment, songs borne of experience and honesty yet given just a breath of country freshness – This Secret is, truly, an album that even your therapist will want to buy.

Read Me Write stands as a recipe collection of mixed moods and styles, bringing together the ingredients required to showcase Papiransky’s songwriting prowess and vocal expertise.
