Luis Roberts is a Welsh wonder! A songwriter who sings in the Welsh language, yet his songs have a universal appeal, steeped in a gentle folk psych pop forest of lush melodies, delicate guitars and pianos. His debut album ‘Cloeon’ has hints of Talk Talk’s expansive soundings, mixed with Elbow’s subtle melodic ways, and is […]
Claire Welles creates an electronic kaleidoscope of sounds, with lyrics spanning an ocean of topics from snooker, self doubt, motivation, and social media trolls to finding true friendships and the sheer joy of creating music, all delivered with her astutely observed take on life. She has previously supported Tim Burgess and Jane Weaver amongst others, […]
Ceramic Animal play a blues inspired rock that caught the ear of Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach, who liked them so much he signed them to his own Easy Eye Sound label, and has produced their latest album ‘Sweet Unknown’. Hailing from Pennsylvania, the band create a lush densely melodic sound, somewhere between War On […]
Emma-Jean Thackray has been storming the world of jazz since her debut album ‘Yellow’ was released in 2021, a gorgeous cocktail of 70’s style psych-funk, jazzy brass riffs and groove laden tunes.

As Amyl And The Sniffers guitarist, Dec Martens, waits for his chippy order in Melbourne, by the magic of zoom we’re all together on screen to discuss […]
‘Watch Me Break Apart’ is the brilliant debut album from Dead Nature, the new musical project of former Spring King man Tarek Musa. It’s a shimmering indie-pop album brimming with fuzzed up melodies and a firm DIY ethos, produced in Tarek’s own Musa Studio in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle. We caught up with him to discuss […]
You hear about bands who have met at work, college, school etc, but not so much ones who met at a distant relatives funeral! That’s how Rick and Jen, distant cousins with musical aspirations, first began the electro powerhouse that would become Oh Baby. Now with the brilliant new album ‘Hey Genius’ out, we caught […]
