100 gecs 'money machine' Shot by gabe howell

Their debut album 1000 gecs was released in 2019, and they’ve racked up 9,000,000 Spotify streams on “money machine” alone. They are yet to break into the mainstream electronic world, however, but with music as wobbly and industrial as theirs, it’s anyone’s guess if they ever will – or if it even matters.

The duo’s remix album 1,000 gecs and the Tree Of Clues consists of nineteen outrageous mismatched and misaligned tracks featuring a hoarde of guests that would make the nearest...

Lenker made the record (out on 4AD) in a one-room cabin in the woods of Western Massachusetts where she holed up in spring, waiting out the early days of the pandemic and reeling from a broken heart. The simple pinewood planks of the shack’s interior reminded her, she said, of “the inside of an acoustic guitar,” which is to say it felt like home. Her friend Philip Weinrobe, a recording engineer, was summoned with a truckload of gear: half-inch tape machines, XLR cables, a binaural mic. ...

Ela Minus releases new single & video for “UPWARDS” off upcoming album ‘DIA’

“UPWARDS”, the latest single from Ela Minus, presents Ela relishing pure pop splendour. An unabashed and addictive theme song for safeguarding yourself, your body, and your soul, “UPWARDS” is unforgettable on its first listen. The song is propelled by an unrelenting pulse and sharp refrain, as Ela chants repeatedly, “I’d love to save you, but you’ve got to save yourself,” while aggressive, busy synths bounce underneath, evoking the feeling of lasers waging war against the song...

Emily Barker ‘A Dark Murmuration of Words’ out 4th September 2020

The songs on the album are an exploration of climate change, racism, sexism, and myths of economic progress through the lens of constant questioning of what it means to feel at “home.” – searching for connections between these themes and how they shape the rapidly shifting modern world we live in. Finding meaning becomes challenging with the deafening clamour of social media in this age of fake news and algorithmically filtered conversations, but it feels important to try.

Fontaines D.C. ‘A Hero’s Death’ out 31st July 2020

Televised Mind Director: Hugh Mulhern

Barely a year since their debut Dogrel earned them a spot as one of the most acclaimed new bands of 2019, Fontaines D.C. is back with ‘A Hero’s Death’. Arriving battered and bruised – albeit beautiful – the album is anything but a re-hash of the swaggering energy from their first record. Instead the music is patient, confident, and complex – full of heady and philosophical takes on the modern world and its great uncertainty. READ MORE

Real Estate ‘The Main Thing’ out 28th February 2020

Directed by Nick Roney for Stink Films & Callen

Over the last decade, Real Estate have crafted warm yet meticulous pop-minded music, specialising in soaring melodies that are sentimentally evocative and unmistakably their own. ‘The Main Thing’ dives even further into the musical dichotomies they’re known for—lilting, bright guitar lines set against emotionally nuanced lyrics, complex arrangements conveyed breezily— and what emerges is a superlative collection of interrogative songs as full of depth, strangeness and contradictio...

Richard Dawson & Circle ‘Henki’ out 26th November 2021

Cinematography: Stanley Schtinter, Susu Laroche

Richard Dawson is the diminutive Geordie troubadour whose moving songs have been described as state-of-the-nation addresses, even — or perhaps especially — when he’s singing about pre-medieval peasants. Circle are the genre-straddling pioneers of The New Wave Of Finnish Heavy Metal, known for wearing spandex or dead fish onstage and singing in a made-up language.

Together they are… Richard Dawson & Circle! We are pleased to announce news of their collaborative album Henki, d...

Richard Dawson ‘Republic of Geordieland’ out 7th August 2020

"Two Halves" from the album '2020'
“I found it ok at first but a couple of months into lockdown I started to feel quite down about all the unplayed gigs and lost moments, a bit more anxious than usual and pretty disconnected. So I wanted to make something small (but proper) to try and reconnect. I hope this collection might be something hopeful, or at least a useful distraction.
I had the title ‘Republic of Geordieland’ in my head for years and always envisaged it would be some grand overblown quadruple-vinyl prog-folk o...

Rosie Lowe ‘Now, You Know’ out 1st September 2021

Directed & Edited by Louis Hemming-Lowe

Rosie Lowe has returned with a new mixtape, ‘Now, You Know’, released in full via Blue Flowers. Forced, like many, to cancel her plans as the pandemic hit last Spring, Rosie Lowe retreated to a cabin in the Devon woods, converting a tiny shed into a studio to write in isolation. What emerged from those sessions was a playful, experimental, collection of songs – sparse, warped-vocal meditations ‘Freedom’ and ‘Say The Name’ juxtaposed with the groove-laden ‘I’ve Got You’ and...

Tackling the still near-untouchable subjects – grief, loss, the act of dying, where we go, what becomes of those left behind – death is a taboo beyond all others.

Around the time of Tunng’s sixth album, 2018’s Songs You Make at Night, lyricist Sam Genders found Max Porter’s novel Grief is The Thing with Feathers, and was struck by its power. Its viscerality and rawness and rage. Its beauty and love and connection. He passed Porter’s book...
