Since Wld Beasts called it a day back in 2017, both their two lead voices have crafted out solo careers, with Hayden Thorpe releasing under his own name and Tom Fleming sharing now three full-length efforts under his One True Pairing moniker. Led by his distinctive and unruly baritone, Fleming
You know where you are from the first aching note of Bridget Hayden's astonishing new album: steeped in drizzle, high upon a hill, looking out across weather-beaten moorland. That might feel a little too on-the-nose as descriptors go but those elements - the land, the weather - were
It seems a little silly to recommend the fleeting two-minute closing track as the choice pick from Barry Archie Johnson’s exquisite new album - especially when said LP is defined by its long and sprawling instrumental landscapes - but there’s enough magic in these brief glimpses of his
Tokyo label FLAU are one of those gems from the underground scene that I likely would never have stumbled upon if it weren't for GFP's own journey. We first covered them way back in time, I think initially with a wonderful album from Cuushe, which had
I remember thinking, when I first saw Porridge Radio play live, in a sweaty Lexington on a crisp cold London night, that they were probably the best "band" that the UK had to offer. And I mean band in that slightly redundant, old fashioned sense; a tight-knit group

Welcome to the 99th song of our 3/6/5! Hope you're enjoying the run... Blue Lake, the gorgeous instrumental project of Copenhagen-based Jason Dungan, has announced a new release on the excellent Tonal Union label - home of one of our favourite albums of the year so
While it fits with the ethos of this project to share just one song from RÓIS's new album, doing so doesn't begin to tell the story of all the worlds, and colours, and shapes - seen and unseen - that glimmer under the surface of this
Strange Power! is the latest release from the exquisite Dear Life Records, exclamation mark and all. The fifth record from songwriter and poet Anne Malin Ringwalt, the forthcoming album is released in conjunction with her second book of poetry, What Floods. The album itself weaves a vivid musical tapestry, complete
There's a lot to unpack here, but perhaps it's best to let Fred himself do the talking. His new track 'Embankment' is out right now. It's from a brand new album called Window in the Rhythm which is released this coming Friday.
