Kathleen Edwards Returns With New Album; Shares “Options Open”
“I’m an excellent barista” Kathleen Edwards to The Toronto Star, November 2014. It’s fair to say that since delivering her powerfully wry debut album Failer in 2002 Canadian singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards built quite a reputation for marching to the beat of her own drum, embracing imperfection, defying expectation. Ten years on from that debut and […]
The Razor Sharp LOVE SPORT Return With New Single
Helsinki pop/rock quartet LOVE SPORT return after a three year hiatus necessitated by their work in other projects with a sharply buoyant new single ‘Life’s A Joke’. It’s the first taste from their forthcoming album And Justice For All, and a more than worthy follow up to 2017’s excellent decade-spanning rock nugget Dull Tracks. While […]

Originally recorded three years ago next month in Los Angeles where he spent his last […]
Pet Shimmers Deliver Sixth & Final Single From Debut LP
Yesterday Bristol left field pysch-pop septet Pet Shimmers dropped the sweetly absurdist slow burning single ‘Tyson’. It’s a most agreeable albeit bittersweet effort about remembering the simple honesty of a cute and honest trick performing dog who we presume is/was called Tyson. We also presume from reading between the lines that sadly Tyson is no […]
Sarah Harmer Shares Compact & Alluring New Single From Upcoming LP
Late last year Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer announced the impending February release of Are You Gone, her first album in ten years and shared its smart first single ‘New Low’. Last week she offered up the alluring and beguilingly effortless opener and second single ‘St Peter’s Bay’. An immediate and compact mix of folk and […]
