2021, clifftown, further listening, Hudson records, matt boulter, mg boulter, mix, playlist, south records -

We're long term fans of MG Boulter, having had him play in the shop on a few occasions over the years. A songwriter whose turn of phrase and observant lyrics bring new light to the minutiae or small town life. His new album Clifftown, is out now on Hudson Records, and he's been kind enough to make us a playlist of some favourites. Scroll down to read Matt's thoughts on his choices, and to listen BUY: Clifftown Clifftown is an album about growing up and living in a seaside suburban town, the good and the bad.

2021, Album, Further Listening, Joseph Shabason, LP, Mix, Mixcloud, Mixtape, Playlist, South Records, The Fellowship -

2021, album, lp, Mirry, mix, mixtape, playlist, simon tong, spotify, tom fraser, vinyl -

When we first heard the Mirry album we instantly fell for it, bringing to mind the homespun experimentalism of Woo and the pastoral wonder of Virginia Astley. Then we read the great story behind it, finding that Simon Tong - an unassuming friend of a friend (who also happens to be a member of The Verve, The Good, The Bad & The Queen and The Magnetic North) was involved. Simon was kind enough to make us an exclusive mix, along with Tom Fraser, the musician whose clearance of his grandfather's loft brought us this great album. Read more about the album HERE ...
