Comments

 
Picture
Singer songwriter Wendy DuMond AKA  Bog Witch has returned with the release of a brand new track, “Dream Birds.” With the ukulele and soft vocals, the track keeps a steady tempo steering away from big shifts in dynamics. The vast majority of what you hear is the vocal and basic musical arrangement without the addition of lots of layers added on top which gives it real sense of authenticity.

London based Lana Crow has released a brand new single titled “What Brings You Back.” The track builds on the sound she has become known for on earlier releases such as “Orwellian Times” and “I Do.” With a steady tempo, Lana's clean vocals stand out against the backdrop of dreamy guitar work. There isn't lots of dynamic shifts but the instrumental elements add lots of nuanced elements that keep the track flowing. Most of the work is done by soft pads and Crow’s voice.

Martin Lloyd Howard - Selene

Comments

 
Picture
Martin Howard’s latest release, Selene, is an original piece for solo guitar, written after seeing a moonscape painting by his wife. The warm, bright tone that you can hear is thanks to the fifty year old classical guitar that Martin used to perform Selene. The song was written with a straightforward goal, to contribute something to the nylon string world, that wasn't too academic or niche, but something new that has real depth and emotion.

The Confederation, a project based in Coventry, have released a new album titled Hypergravity, written by Simon and recorded with a group of remote collaborators. The band cite influences from electronic and trip-hop artists such as Goldfrapp, Massive Attack and Radiohead, and from the structure of classic rock operas. Those reference points appear in the way the album is organised, the songs follow a linear narrative based around two characters, Lena and Norm, whose experiences shape the tracklist.

Token Mouse - L'Appel Du Vide

Picture
Macclesfield electronic artist Token Mouse has started their 2026 with a real cracker of a track. Their second release L'Appel Du Vide has just dropped and it is real gem. Originally starting off on a piano as a simple tune it has developed into something that is celebration of electronica / synth pop. This is a great example of how the meeting of creative minds can bring out the best in a song.

Giuseppe Cucé released his album 21grammi on June 20th, 2025. The record was written and recorded in Catania and brings together songs developed across several years rather than during one concentrated period. It is thanks to that fact that helped to shape the way the album came together, not following one, single narrative. Instead the album reflects various phases of writing and recording that have all eventually found themselves finally together on one place.
