Snow is forecast here today. So far there's only been rain. Rain and big heavy clouds, all different shades of grey, which are maybe holding snow but also maybe aren't. We'll find out soon enough. I'm often talking about the weather. I&
I've spent more time listening to instrumental this year than ever before. I'm not sure why; lots of upheaval (a calming tool), making more time for reading (a background hum), wandering hills (quietly cinematic). With winter rushing in here in Scotland, I've spent the
Elanor Moss - Again, My Love London songwriter Elanor Moss has announced her signing to Merge Records with a brand new single, her first new music since a 2023 EP. Billed as a hint of new music on 2026's horizon, the single is short and beautifully enticing, a

Joanne Robertson - Blurr (LP) Cliches are usually cliches for a reason and this cliche says that we often find special things when we need them the most. This whole month has been something of a blur(r). I've been traveling a lot, and tired a lot, and

If you followed our end-of-year coverage in 2024, you might have found your way to Julia Sabra's striking Natural History Museum LP. Raw and heartbreaking, it was Sabra's first solo release away from her work as Snakeskin; a marked departure from the electronic-pop she makes alongside
Last winter, I got really into the work of John Moreland, the earthy, gravel-voiced songwriter from Tulsa, Oklahoma. His work feeds off the winter, a symbiotic relationship between that voice and the season, imbuing each other with a heightened sense of melancholy. His Visitor LP from 2024 remains a frequent
