The car windows are down, the air is warm, and the possibilities are boundless.

Grace Davies is here with her debut studio album The Wrong Side of 25, and I’ll say this, it’s one of the most introspective and deeply personal debut albums I’ve ever come across. The album sees Davies make a coming-of-age record that’s powerfully gripping and touches on so many of our daily insecurities that its relatability is guaranteed. If, like Áine Deane, you’re 20-something and pondering the reason why you’re trying to win a race you don’t remember running, you might find answers in this beautifully introspective Davies debut. Or you might come out with more questions than you did going in.

"I play yours, you play mine. The music never ends." Tony Allen (There Is No End, 2021).

Their debut Album Cooking Time will be launched on April 5, 2024 on the Danish label One World Records.

The 3rd album from ysk, released 1 year and 8 months after the previous album "Solitary Faith". YUSUKE ANDO's expression of "consciousness, light, space-time" is fused with vocalist Yuji Ishii to create a unique progressive rock work that has evolved further. Yuji Ishii's world and YUSUKE ANDO's world overlap, becoming one key and opening up a new world.

This is one of the largest Japanese progressive rock albums in Japan.

Pymlico is an instrumental band from Oslo, Norway, led by composer and drummer Arild Brøter. The band mainly plays what has been described as a mix between progressive rock and fusion. However, their music also offers catchy hooks and singable melodies associated with pop music, alongside grandiose themes more in the vein of movie soundtracks.

For Tony Tixier everything is connected. Poetry for him is the link between dreams, thoughts and the lived reality where we spend our everyday lives. As an artist Tony feels fortunate to be able to live a life in the constant pursuit of his creativity: from the poems he wrote as a child to his current life as an internationally touring pianist, his artistic creativity has shaped who he is, just as his identity has shaped his creativity, so that he firmly believes that the art and the artist are indivisible. His latest album Poems Never End is a complete, honest expression of Tony’s current status as an artist and as a human being, captured in a single afternoon during a whirlwind visit to New York City. Whether in thrilling trio interaction with long-term associate Joe Martin on bass and dazzling young drummer Jongkuk Kim, or reviving old friendships and musical partnerships with special guests Logan Richardson, Seamus Blake and Mino Cinelu, the passion and integrity shines through every note.

Lost Crowns’ first album was named by Stuart Maconie as one of BBC Radio 6 Music’s albums of 2019. This, six years later, is the second, combining the band’s furious lysergic intensity and flamboyant tonality with upturned jigs, shanties and hornpipes.

Zio Crocifisso is an Italian avant-prog band. The character we portray (taken from Verga's novel "I Malavoglia") represents the expression "there's none so deaf as those who will not hear". We are inspired by bands such as King Crimson, Poil, Melvins, Tool, Zu and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. This album is the result of the merging of three different approaches to music. Rather than finding a common ground, we tried to merge our ideas to find different and hopefully interesting solutions. Hope you enjoy what we did.

Zara Aleksandrovna Dolukhanova was a Soviet Armenian mezzo-soprano who achieved fame performing on many lauded radio broadcasts of operas and works from the concert repertoire during the 1940s through the 1960s. Although considered one of Soviet-era Russia's most accomplished opera singers, Dolukhanova made only a relatively small number of appearances on the actual opera stage and her fame rests primarily in her extensive work for radio and performances on the concert stage.

On Gateway, Erik Wøllo presents the kind of travelog predicted by Joe Meek with I Hear a New World, a soundtrack of a visit to an alien world. The roots of the release are more readily placed in late-'70s space rock and '80s new age, though, and while Gateway is an enjoyable listen, it's not very inspiring in feeling like a new launching point for both sound and style.
