Hi friends and followers, Spring is here, the light is longer, wonderful new music keeps arriving and arriving. I hope to have more time this month to write about it, but for now here is a brand new monthly megamix, featuring more than two-hours worth of songs that appeared as
I'm out on the very west coast of Scotland this week, in an old cottage, warmed only by the fire. Out across the field, over the dunes, the sea is just a few minutes walk away. You can hear the waves breaking when the wind is right. There
A frequent question that Craig Finn asks his guests on his How I Remember It podcast is whether they view music seasonally, saving specific records for a specific time of the year. A fair amount say that they don't, that they don't hear music in such
Released in full today, True is the new album from Tenderness, the romantic-pop project from Katy Beth Young. Young has spent the past decade and more as part of both Peggy Sue and the Deep Throat Choir and True is her first full-length solo album. The ten songs here find
Carla dal Forno - Going Out We've been covering Carla dal Forno for close to ten years now, ever since the release of You Know What It's Like all the way back in late 2016. Enigmatic and always deeply engaging, dal Forno crafts a subtle type
It's called a megamix because it's huuuuge... Available to stream now, dive into a new mix featuring over 2 hours of music that revealed itself over the 28 days of February. So many good songs from so many good albums – some already released, some waiting in
I've been noticing death a lot recently. I don't mean that to be morbid, although I suppose it has to be. First a relative of a close friend, a colleague's aunt, a lovely man I worked with over the past couple of years, the

"A desire to be unanchored and in a state of constant movement has plagued me my whole life and yet is manifest within me alongside a paradoxical but equally profound desire for ‘home’. The two seem to need each other like demanding co-dependent siblings," Joanna Pocock writes in
Ratboys - Burn It Down As Singin' To An Empty Chair, the new album from Chicago's Ratboys, runs on from its spiky outset, through a series of charming, occasionally boisterous songs, you get an ever-increasing feeling of satisfaction. For more than a decade now, the band have
The day I speak with Courtney Marie Andrews, in a shiny hotel lobby on the wild Welsh coast, as Autumn bleeds into Winter, is the same day that her new album, Valentine, is announced to the world. In the photograph that accompanies the news, Courtney is seen on a cliff-top,
Lande Hekt - Lucky Now We've reached the period of winter where I'm thinking a lot about light. Sometimes I feel infatuated by its presence, mostly by its lacking. Last week I took myself out to the west coast for a couple of nights away and
Gia Margaret - Everyone Around Me Dancing It's been so long since I wrote out the reasons for Gia Margaret's There's Always Glimmer being my favourite album of 2018, that I can no longer find the piece itself. Lost to the weeds of some

Ye Vagabonds - On Sitric Road And I remember that first evening Singing John Prine till dawn Round the iron stove on Sitric Road With my big wool coat on Feet upon the chair Curled up like a newborn child Peaking out under your hair I felt lucky for a
Clara Mann's Rift LP is a gift of song, a collection of threadbare folk tunes that seems to have drifted in from some other time and place entirely. It's not just nostalgia – though the weight of years passed seems to weigh heavily on the album'
In the eight years since Belgian composer Christina Vantzou released her stunning album, No.4, I've not knowingly listened to anything else from her catalogue. Not a deliberate evasion, sometimes that's just the way of things. I truly love that record, I've spent hours
