New York-based alternative singer-songwriter Lauren Minear has shared her emotionally charged new single ‘Ghost’, a driving, hook-heavy track exploring the instinct to disappear when life becomes overwhelming. Blending alternative, indie-pop and singer-songwriter influences, the track builds around the tension between emotional withdrawal and the desire to stay connected. It’s vulnerable without becoming overly subdued, pairing its introspective subject matter with an energet

Leeds indie-rock outfit Family Art Club have shared their latest single, ‘How Long Will Winter Last This Year?’, via cult Leeds label Private Regcords, with their sophomore EP Pigeons When I’m King arriving today, 15 September. A softer, more sentimental offering from the band, ‘How Long Will Winter Last This Year?’ finds Family Art Club looking towards home through layered saxophones, gentle guitar strums and a pastoral warmth that carries a quiet sense of grief. There are s

From the Scottish Highlands to the dancefloor in Chicago, LOWT is building a world of UK garage, future garage, breakbeat house and bass-heavy electronica that refuses to stay in one lane. His latest project, Club Etiquette Volume 2, is a sprawling 17-track journey through euphoria, melancholy, late-night energy and the quieter moments that come once the club doors close. Released independently through creative agency Minsu Manor, the album expands on the world established by

Lulu is turning a landmark night at the Royal Albert Hall into lasting support for families affected by substance use, with Lulu’s Mental Health Trust donating £50,000 to Adfam. The donation comes from the proceeds of Lulu’s special one-off Royal Albert Hall performance in June, which celebrated the extraordinary career of the UK rock ’n’ roll icon — and brought together some seriously starry company. Having first performed at the legendary venue back in 1967, Lulu returned f

Ezra Collective are back with Here Because of Hope, a fourth album that traces the movement of Black music from West Africa and the Caribbean to Britain — and turns that journey into one of the band’s most expansive records yet. Released today via Partisan Records, the album arrives with focus track “El Corazón” and a new live film, “Rehearsal Tapes”, capturing the collective energy that has helped take Ezra Collective from London’s grassroots jazz scene to some of the bigges

feeble little horse are keeping things moving. Following the surprise release of their acclaimed third album bitknot in May, the Pittsburgh noise-pop outfit have announced a limited-edition animated zoetrope vinyl, a second London date after their first show sold out, and their first-ever trip to Japan. The new zoetrope pressing gives bitknot a suitably strange physical edition, with zoetrope expert Drew Tetz bringing Lydia Slocum’s album artwork to life across the record. It

London experimental five-piece Drum Tower have arrived with debut single ‘Junkyard’, a chaotic, clattering introduction to a band determined to make the strange sound infectious. Pulling together post-punk, math rock, psychedelia and electronic textures, the band’s first recorded statement is packed with sharp guitar lines, restless rhythms, multiple vocalists and trombone. Produced by Louis Milburn, the track has been described as sounding like a mutant disco unfolding on a

JHart is done looking backwards. The GRAMMY-winning songwriter and seven-time Billboard No. 1 hitmaker has announced his new EP, The Full Fantasy, landing October 16 via 10K Projects, alongside its playful, polished title track. Following the vulnerability of previous singles “Memories” and “Bby Blue”, “Full Fantasy” takes a different route — leaning into curiosity, confidence and the thrill of letting something unfold without worrying too much about where it is going. It is

New York band Sorry Darling are leaning into the darker, heavier side of their sound without losing the hooks that got them noticed in the first place. Their latest release, Like You, brings a more melodic and melancholic edge to the band’s evolving sound, exploring what happens when a relationship slowly erodes your sense of self. The track arrives as part of Mirrors, a three-song release that acts as a bridge between the band’s earlier jangle-pop-leaning material and a mood
