The ever-evolving psych outfit have announced their 11th album Terrestrials , landing June 19 , alongside a bold new single, “Two Hands” , and an expanded run of US tour dates. Marking a striking new chapter, Terrestrials arrives via the band’s own imprint Mangovision and finds POND deliberately shaking up their creative process. This time, the brief was simple: no fuzz pedals, no ballads, no “Pink Floyd shit.” The result? A record rooted in gritty, sun-scorched Australiana

The award-winning Middlesbrough multi-venue favourite has announced the first wave of artists for its 12th edition , set to take over the town on Saturday 3rd October —with early bird tickets on sale now. Known as a vital platform for emerging talent, Twisterella once again delivers a stacked preview of the UK’s next wave. Leading the announcement are Bottle Rockets , the fast-rising Glasgow indie outfit fresh off major accolades and growing radio support, alongside Brighton’

London indie songwriter Charlie Vaughan is back with a vibrant new cut, unveiling his latest single “Don’t Wanna Drive” —a hazy, hook-filled slice of guitar pop that arrives just in time for a run of April live dates. Fresh from supporting the likes of The Backseat Lovers and Hamilton Leithauser, Vaughan continues to build momentum with a track that blends classic songwriting instincts with a loose, DIY charm. “Don’t Wanna Drive” leans into dreamy melodies, punchy rhythms an

Brighton’s Maximilian returns with another quietly captivating preview of his upcoming EP Diurnals , sharing the intimate new single “Soft Song For A Worried Mind” , out now (April 8) via Crafting Room Recordings. Following early praise from tastemakers like Stereogum and BBC 6 Music’s Guy Garvey, the track continues to cement Maximilian’s reputation for crafting miniature folk epics that feel both delicate and expansive. What begins as a soft acoustic meditation gradually b

Serena Rose doesn’t just write songs — she builds worlds. On her latest single Wild One , the Australian artist leans fully into her cinematic instincts, crafting a track that feels less like a traditional release and more like stepping into a place. Written in the Byron Bay hinterland and shaped by drifting guitars, silence and space, the track captures a moment rather than a narrative — a quiet immersion in nature, memory and mood. Drawing on her background in film scoring,

Ryann Ross is quietly emerging as one of the most arresting new voices in alt-folk — and her latest single might be her most intimate yet. The New Jersey-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter has shared Your Side Of The Moon , a stripped-back, emotionally exposed offering taken from her forthcoming debut EP On The Marsh , due later this spring. Built around little more than acoustic guitar and voice, the track leans fully into Ross’ signature minimalism — where every lyri

Minneapolis shoegaze outfit she’s green are stepping into their next chapter. The five-piece have announced their new EP swallowtail , set for release on 10th July via Photo Finish Records, alongside the arrival of their latest single paper thin — a woozy, emotionally frayed track that leans into the blurred lines between lust and love. Built on shimmering guitars and a slow-burning sense of detachment, paper thin captures the quiet collapse of a relationship. As vocalist Z

Brodie Milner isn’t afraid to go dark — he just refuses to stay there. On new single A Hateful Song , the Hull-based songwriter dives headfirst into the psychology of extremism, crafting a fictional character who twists faith into something far more dangerous. It’s one of the starkest moments from his upcoming EP Holy Ghost Survivors Group (Part 1) , a narrative-driven project built on fractured identities, moral ambiguity and a world that feels like it’s lost its centre. Son

Denmark’s leading new music showcase, SPOT Festival, has unveiled a sprawling 2026 programme featuring more than 250 emerging artists — cementing its reputation as one of Europe’s most vital discovery platforms. Taking over Aarhus on 1–2 May, the festival will once again transform Denmark’s second city into a dense, city-wide hub of new music, with performances spread across 20+ venues — from concert halls and parks to bowling alleys and rooftop spaces. At its core, SPOT rema

Bristol’s Oswald Slain isn’t interested in polishing the edges — if anything, he’s sanding them down even further. Fresh off the back of his debut album BUCKY , Slain returns with Hot Boys , a sleazy, tongue-in-cheek “self-help bop” that skewers modern masculinity, doomscroll culture and the absurd pursuit of self-worth. It’s scrappy, chaotic and knowingly ridiculous — but beneath the bravado sits something far more human. Written quickly, recorded even quicker, and deliberat
