Albums

With Many a Thousand, Aldridge and Goldsmith have created a record whose songs are immediate and politically necessary, and whose melodies will remain in the memory for years to come. 

After almost 40 years as a performer, Cavalier proves that Eddi Reader’s talent as a singer, arranger and writer has never diminished, her music shines bright as ever. Album out on 28 September via Reveal Records.

Trail West’s ‘From the Sea to the City’ takes you from the dance to sombre seriousness and the surge of deep and strong emotion with equal facility and success. Highly recommended.

A love found, lived and lost in eight songs, simply but beautifully crafted in its musical and emotional notes, it’s the album equivalent of a Richard Linklater or Woody Allen bittersweet romance.

It takes real skill and inspiration to make the new versions sound like that’s how they were always meant to be. The True Adventures of Independent Country have both in abundance.

Refreshingly contemporary in their approach, while staying true to their Highland influences; with Road To The North, Assynt have created a debut album that marks them as one of our most impressive young bands.

Aleppo is an important and thought-provoking album.  Yet this fact is amplified enormously when learning that every cent generated by sales of this and all previous releases goes to assist funding the efforts of Doctors Without Borders.

This collection of songs is an incredible testimony to a man who was at his strongest when he should have been at his weakest. Rest in Peace Jimmy LaFave.

A compilation featuring two essential live albums and unearthed, previously unreleased 1971/72 material from Träd, Gräs och Stenar, Sweden’s greatest underground music export.

Musically situated somewhere between late 60s American folk and early 70s Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter territory with lyrics, that address the personal and the political.

Curse of Lono have lived up to the promise of their fascinating début and somehow manage to offer even more. There are big ideas and compelling prose, and that music is just thrilling. As I Fell is an exceptional album.

“Sauvage Formes” is a delight for ears and brains. Do yourself a favour and allow yourself to be gently led into the zany and wonderful world of “Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp”, where high brow meets low brow and worlds collide in an irresistibly catchy symphonic pop album.
