Mon Rovîa Born into a civil war in Liberia, Mon Rovîa now calls Chattanooga, Tennessee, his home and its from here that the folk singer and songwriter will release a brand new collection of songs in early 2026. Held within Bloodline, a sixteen-song collection, his songs feel gentle, almost airy

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

H e l l o friends and followers, I've spent the past two weeks or so out on the road with the Irish songwriter Fionn Regan, adding 'tour manager' to the list of jobs I've found my way to beneath this oddly-shaped GFP umbrella.
Lisa O'Neill - The Wind Doesn't Blow This Far Right It's been some two-and-a-half years since Lisa O'Neill released the astonishing All Of This Is Chance LP, and the weight of those recordings feel as resolute as ever; a heft shaped by
Crooked Words #02 Just when I try and rein things in a little, we get a week like this where everything I listen to sounds like gold. So here are some more crooked words on some songs that have cut through the noise and crept into my week... Kara-Lis Coverdale
Episode 4 of our Lost Souvenirs radio show is out now and available to stream below and via Mixcloud. A little less talking from me (I think), a little more music (definitely); an hour or so of new and old songs for compnay. Really enjoyed this one, and hope you
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
Released at the end of October, Songs of Hope for Gaza is a new and sprawling collection of songs being co-released by Dear Life Records and Pretty Purgatory to raise money for ANERA, who are supporting humanitarian aid and emergency relief in Gaza and beyond. The compilation has been curated

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
The dusty and staggering magic of Jens Kuross It's always satisfying when we're able to follow a flailing little thread from one post to the next. Which is to say that the same day we were sharing Hayden Pedigo's new collaboration (with the brilliantly
Though it's not often reflected in the posts here, there are times when I get a yearning for something altogether heavier, a big old slap around the face from some big old riffs before I slink back into the softer edges of things. Such a feeling has often
It’s the week before their album’s release and Meg Duffy is feeling proud. A few days previous, Meg – who’s made music as Hand Habits since the mid 2010s – sat among a host of friends and fellow musicians for a listening party where, through a “really nice hi-fi
After the release of her 2021 debut album, Devin Shaffer, so the story goes, found a discarded Martin guitar lying on the side of the road. Attached to it was a note that simply read: This is for you. Taking it both as a gift and a sign, Shaffer made
I first heard this collaboration between Constant Smiles and Cassandra Jenkins not as the stand-alone single that it is but rather in situ; the soft, quiet farewell it provides as the tenth and final song on the forthcoming – and really rather wonderful – new album from the New York-based band. Little
The solo project of London's Rory Sear, flypaper is a project that quietly nestles in besides similarly lofi, somewhat scruffy singer-songwriters such as Greg Mendez, Bandcamp-era Alex G, even Hovvdy in their more knotty earlier work. Sear himself call's his new single a "reflective song&
In the time that's passed since they finished making their previous full-length record, Admiral Fallow have experienced new life, new homes, the whole world locking down, as well as the 15th anniversary of their much-loved debut LP. All of the ups and downs, all of the time. All
