Raised in the East Yorkshire flatlands on the fringes of Hull (UK), Katie Spencer's landscape has always been that of open skies and widening rivers - It is this sense of space and movement that flows through her assured guitar style and songwriting - Now, as Katie steps into this new era with a third album, her focus turns to those deeper inner spaces, inviting the listener to engage with her heartfelt and intricately-crafted songs.

After a break from touring and performing, Liverpool-based trio Alpha Male Tea Party are back and they’ve been busy. Following on from 2020’s Infinity Stare, they now emerge with Reptilian Brain, a bold and expansive new album set for release on Big Scary Monsters in October 2025. Known for their combination of vast and aggressive instrumental workings, the band have long stood at the vanguard of the UK’s math and progressive rock scenes. With Reptilian Brain, they push their sonic identity into striking new territory: for the first time, vocals and lyrics play a central role.

Marta Forsberg returns to Warm Winters Ltd. with her most fully-fledged, meticulously woven project, a 7-track album titled 'Archaeology of Intimacy'. Soothing, gentle, yet uncompromising and strikingly beautiful, the album sees the Swedish-Polish composer move away from more long-form compositions; this is essentially an album of experimental pop songs, and it's perhaps the most intimate musical endeavour that she's embarked on thus far.

Cinematic funk visionaries The Diasonics deliver another solid set of Eastern-infused psychedelic, cinematic, disco-funk with their new album “Ornithology”, set for release on October 3 via Record Kicks. Following their 2022 critically acclaimed debut album “Origin of Forms”, named Library Music Album of the Year at PopMatters, the Moscow-based instrumental outfit The Diasonics return with “Ornithology”, a sophomore album that pushes their sonic boundaries forward while staying true to their unmistakable style.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – MySpace era survivors and perennial comeback kids – aren’t going to end up Face Down any time soon. A seven year absence has brought us to ‘X’s For Eyes’, a record that puts us back in touch with our inner teens. It would be tacky for the RJA to make the kind of music they were pushing at the turn of the millennium, but the spirit of adolescence tangled up in the distance of time oozes from their sixth album. They’ve grown up, but not for a second forgotten where they came from.

Third tour for "Blanca" and third return behind the scenes for Calibro 35. The Milanese band, featuring Massimo Martellotta, Enrico Gabrielli, Fabio Rondanini, and Tommaso Colliva, continues to move in their native territory: the soundtrack as a laboratory, a space where archive retro-funk, the legacy of the police drama, and cinematic obsessions find new life in the intense dialogue with images and characters.

Jamaican reggae singer. Began his singing career in the 70's and was most active in the 80's.

Alice Cohen has manifested throughout alternative music history in improbable ways, from MTV-era new wave with The Vels to Michael Stipe-produced grunge to 2000s hypnagogic pop. Her latest album, Archaeology, might be her most revealing work yet, which feels almost paradoxical given its prominent use of instrumental tracks. The record seeps through the accumulated layers of a 13-year Brooklyn residency, where her apartment has become something like an archaeological site. Cohen plays her father’s old Yamaha drum machine live rather than programming it, maintaining a tactile connection to family history. The songs bathe us in both intimacy and mystery, and when Cohen removes words entirely, something within the sonic shapes clarifies and offers some kind of answer.

"We spend our lives chasing new experiences, but often, the most meaningful ones are the memories we carry with us. These memories become part of who we are, and sometimes we long to return to them—if only for a moment, if only through sound." - Juan Pastor

Sweet Dusk is an album of original compositions for the Quartz Saxophone Quartet by baritone saxophonist Mick Foster. Sitting at the nexus of jazz and classical writing, Foster’s language is sophisticatedly accessible, combining contemporary jazz harmonies with soaring melodies and a pulsating rhythmic intensity. The Quartet speak this language as their own, with their members’ unique combination of experience in symphony orchestras, jazz bands, and West End shows. Sensitively recorded by Matt Wadsworth, they have a beautiful, clear, warm sound, which lets each soloist shine through whilst giving a homogeneous glow to the ensemble.
