Former Dinked and AOTW alumni, the Maryland man's distinctive soul-soused sound has been fine-tuned even further on album number 2. It's an open-hearted affair, festooned with gospel harmonies, blazing horns, and that smouldering voice that never fails to melt us into adoring puddles.
13 years after Tomorrow's Harvest, the mind-expanding duo return with a fresh crop of atmospheric, synth-based monuments. Further exploring the dark textures of its predecessor, Inferno submerges us in a hugely evocative netherworld of creeping soundscapes and speech soundbites.
Weaving a heady tapestry of trip-hop, hypnotic psych-folk, jazz, radiant guitars & rhythm sections that unwind like an expanding cosmos, the second solo album from the Radiohead legend (AKA EOB) is as bewitching and mind altering as we've ever heard from him.
Four years since he claimed the album of the week crown with This Is A Photograph, Morby is back to close the circle on his Midwestern trilogy. And, in doing so, he's imbued the carefully strummed sounds with a world weariness that is neither the sound of regret or defeat, it's the expansive music of a deep wisdom that's been hard-earnt and carefully protected. This is one to really spend some time with.
A firm favourite around these parts, a new Aldous album is always a good reason to down tools and pay attention and Train on the Island is certainly no exception to that rule. Thoughtful and intimate, confessional but good-humoured, the New Zealander has worked her gentle magic, developing her inimitable voice further still, and produced something exceptional yet again. We're all aboard for this one.
Every now and then you hear something which has such a potent auditory impact that it manifests physically. In warm waves of shivers. In a smile gently emerging. ladylike’s debut EP, delicately treading the tightrope between folk and post-rock, is all about this. The confidence to command the space, to patiently nurture the restraint, to hold us captive in their loosely fettered melodies. But also, to know exactly when to release the shackles and allow the ferocity to burn through. You might even recognise a couple of them ;)
An egalitarian collective sharing songwriting duties equally, Mildred’s slacker americana sound feels naturally formed; it’s wistful, introspective, and laced with sweet guitar licks capable of taking you back to another time. They’re going to be strumming their way into a great many hearts in the months to come.
Treated to a sneak peek of this at their Q&A, we've been hankering to pump this euphoric collaboration out of our shopfloor speakers ever since. And it sounds rich, joyous, and bounces with that glorious, sun-drenched festival energy that makes summer seem just within our grasp.
Local heroes, friends of the shop, our 2024 Album of the Year winners – LIME GARDEN are BACK! And they’re blowing our minds all over again with their second album. Charting the lows & highs that come with a raucous night out (or more like a 3 day bender?!), they've taken everything we already know & love about them & completely bedazzled us, expanding their signature wonk-pop into a dynamic, unpretentious set of often Scissor Sisters-esque bangers that lean into the electronics, whilst also delivering some frankly ripping guitar solos.
The West Londoner's musical evolution continues with this exceptional dreamy pop odyssey. Inspired by the bustle & excitement of New York, Arlo's brought in an array of synths to play a pivotal role in her introspective songwriting, scoring her most jubilant record to date in the process.
New album. New record label. New energy. Our beloved Aussie is BACK in a big way & we’re bloody loving the sounds she’s hitting us with on her fourth studio album!! A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist, she’s an emblem of millennial wit. ‘Creature of Habit’ marks a decisive new chapter in her musical evolution - a bold, addictive, emotionally resonant record that explores the central question: how to get out of your own way so you can truly feel your life? We guarantee you’ll be falling in love with her all over again in 2026.
Dinked Early Doors alumni Makeshift Art Bar return with EP two! Gifting us with further excesses of jagged guitar riffs, pulsating rhythms and unapologetic ferocity - all produced by the boisterous mastery of Gilla Band's Daniel Fox - we can't wait to have them on the shopfloor, ahead of their show at the Green Door Store later this year!
