Albums

Through a Fogged Glass is the latest release of cellist and Songwriter, Wes Swing. His style is reminiscent of Andrew Bird with an uncanny ability to build beautiful soundscapes and poetry.

Armistice is a collaboration between Beatrice Martin (Coeur de Pirate) and Bedouin Soundclash frontman, Jay Malinowski. This debut 5 track EP calls to mind some of greatest Sixties duets such as Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood. Listen to the album and watch their new video!

Scott Orr is an indie folk singer from Hamilton, Canada. Aside from preferring the studio over live gigs he doesn’t give much away. His latest album, Where I Lived, And What I Lived For, which is released on a lovely little label called Other Songs Music Co. is beautiful.

Balto have just released their debut album, October’s Road. For a debut release they sound great. Lead singer Daniel Sheron found inspiration for the songs in a journey he undertook in Siberia: A great tale, A great album.

Erland and The Carnival come out trumps with their new release Nightingale. Gone are the acid folk beats, replaced with deeper re-inventions and new architecture seeking inspiration from one of the oldest poems in written form and the Egyptian Book Of The Dead. Listen to the opening track and watch the new video.

The Bony King of Nowhere enters the playlists of Folk Radio UK this week with his new album Eleonore. He is going to be big this year, just listen below to his distinctive voice and lyrics!

A Rookery hail from Calder Valley, West Yorkshire. Their new EP: Nabby Nook has a breadth of influences ranging from dark folk rock with a gothic twist to more subtle swaying charms reminiscent of early psych-folk.

Tess’s debut album Magpie, has the making of a classic, and it grows on you still further after each listen. A beautiful and lovingly crafted album from a humble soul. Fans of Alexi Murdoch and Ray lamontagne will love it!

Conor Oberst has, after a three year break, decided to resurrect Bright Eyes for what is likely to be the finale album of this moniker. The People’s Key will be sending Bright Eyes out with a bang if that is the case. Despite some shallow press reviews, I think this is an exceptional album!

Ewan Robertson, part-time fire fighter and guitarist/vocalist with rising Scottish folk band Breabach, has delivered a debut solo album which demonstrates his fine playing and eclectic mix of musical interests.

Smart Flesh is The Low Anthem’s much anticipated new album release and our Album of the Week. Ever since they took up occupancy in an old dis-used pasta sauce factory to record this album the anticipation has grown with every mention, video or photograph they have released.

CW Stoneking and band are looking a little more dapper than usual with immaculately Bryllcremed hair and striped boating blazers. In truth he’s more of a preacher than a performer but certainly entirely authentic in his recreation of the downtrodden hobo blues from almost a century ago.
