Drifting somewhere between broadcast static and late-night neon, Parlour Magic has always thrived in liminal space. Now, with The Embassy , project leader Luc Bokor-Smith pushes that world further than ever — trading solitary synth-pop introspection for a richer, band-driven sound that feels both intimate and cinematic. Recorded between New York and Berlin, the album plays like a passport through missed connections, half-heard signals, and quiet hope, channelling echoes of De

Today, the four-piece announce their fourth studio album, ABSTRACT / NATURAL , due 19 June 2026 , alongside their first new music in four years: blistering lead single “The Dollywaggon.”  The record lands via Launchpad+  in partnership with EMI North . “The Dollywaggon” is a sharp-edged reintroduction to a band writing with renewed freedom and conviction.

Swedish producer DJ Seinfeld  continues his evolution from lo-fi house hero to fully fledged dance auteur with the release of “Of Joy (feat. ARY)” , a soaring new single that leans into early-2000s trance nostalgia while keeping his signature, heavyweight drums front and centre. Featuring Norwegian singer-songwriter ARY , Of Joy  is an emotional slow-burn that’s been more than two years in the making — and it shows. Lush melodies meet pulse-raising percussion as ARY’s delicat

Rising Canadian singer-songwriter Laroie (Gab Godon) steps boldly into her next chapter with “Renew,”  a luminous electronic-pop release that feels equal parts confession and catharsis. Written as a form of emotional reset, the track explores self-forgiveness, second chances, and the courage it takes to choose yourself. Arriving after a year of mounting buzz, “Renew”  cements Laroie’s place as one of the most compelling new voices in alt-pop. Her breakout single LSD  drew int

With her debut single Inventing Something , Plymouth-based singer-songwriter Marianne Joyce arrives with a quietly powerful anthem for lost queer love stories — and a sound that sits somewhere between Leith Ross’s intimacy, Lucy Dacus’s emotional clarity, and Laura Marling’s timeless songwriting. Out Friday 6 February, the track is inspired by Joyce’s own journey of self-discovery and a line from Portrait of a Lady on Fire — “Do you think all lovers feel as though they’re inv

Your music feels incredibly intimate and emotionally open. How did Olly’s 2022 cancer diagnosis shape the way you write, record and connect with listeners? Olly: Before the cancer stuff there was no songwriting for me. Not in a fleshed out way with words at least.

I didn’t want to go withou
