Carla Dal Forno - Further Listening Playlist

Carla Dal Forno - Further Listening Playlist

Carla Dal Forno is a long-time shop favourite so we're delighted she took the time to make us a Further Listening playlist to go alongside her new album, Come Around On Come Around, Carla Dal Forno grapples with ideas of home, disorder and insomnia in the swift pop structures of her DIY/post-punk forebearers such as Young Marble Giants, Virginia Astley and Broadcast. Come Around embodies a newfound solitude born of/in elemental pop hooks and enlightened songwriting, striking between the melodic simplicity of Anna Domino and YMG and the arrangement hooks of The Cannanes and Movietone, capturing dal Forno at her most...

Joseph Shabason Further Listening Mix

Joseph Shabason Further Listening Mix

Joseph Shabason is a big favourite of ours here, mixing Fourth World ambience with woozy ECM jazz - think Jon Hassell and Harold Budd covering John Martyn's Sweet Little Mystery and you're on the right track. We asked Joseph if he'd make us a Further Listening mix (following on from The Reds, Pinks & Purples from a few weeks back) and he delivered an absolute beaut, a mix of songs that have excited him in the past year. Scroll down to listen, and check out the tracklisting. BUY: The Fellowship (limited indies-only transparent blue vinyl) Tracklist: Andre Ethier - Wild GoldfishDan Edmonds - The...

The Reds, Pinks & Purples - Further Listening Playlist

Glenn Donaldson, aka The Reds, Pinks & Purples, releases his third album of classic wistful jangle pop this week on Tough Love. Uncommon Weather (which is available on limited transparent blue vinyl) is a continuation of the timeless DIY pop from his 2020 album You Might Be Happy Someday and their first proper full length Anxiety Art, a title that might nod to the classic Television Personalities song “Anxiety Block.” Donaldson’s music continuously reckons with the influence of Dan Treacy, whose own forays into drum-machines, echo, and reverb in the early 1990s is an important reference point for The Reds, Pinks...

Mirry - Further Listening By Simon Tong & Tom Fraser

Mirry - Further Listening By Simon Tong & Tom Fraser

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 ...
