Every now and then you hear something which has such a potent auditory impact that it manifests physically. In warm waves of shivers. In a smile gently emerging. ladylike’s debut EP, delicately treading the tightrope between folk and post-rock, is all about this. The confidence to command the space, to patiently nurture the restraint, to hold us captive in their loosely fettered melodies. But also, to know exactly when to release the shackles and allow the ferocity to burn through. You might even recognise a couple of them ;)
An egalitarian collective sharing songwriting duties equally, Mildred’s slacker americana sound feels naturally formed; it’s wistful, introspective, and laced with sweet guitar licks capable of taking you back to another time. They’re going to be strumming their way into a great many hearts in the months to come.
Treated to a sneak peek of this at their Q&A, we've been hankering to pump this euphoric collaboration out of our shopfloor speakers ever since. And it sounds rich, joyous, and bounces with that glorious, sun-drenched festival energy that makes summer seem just within our grasp.
Local heroes, friends of the shop, our 2024 Album of the Year winners – LIME GARDEN are BACK! And they’re blowing our minds all over again with their second album. Charting the lows & highs that come with a raucous night out (or more like a 3 day bender?!), they've taken everything we already know & love about them & completely bedazzled us, expanding their signature wonk-pop into a dynamic, unpretentious set of often Scissor Sisters-esque bangers that lean into the electronics, whilst also delivering some frankly ripping guitar solos.
The West Londoner's musical evolution continues with this exceptional dreamy pop odyssey. Inspired by the bustle & excitement of New York, Arlo's brought in an array of synths to play a pivotal role in her introspective songwriting, scoring her most jubilant record to date in the process.
New album. New record label. New energy. Our beloved Aussie is BACK in a big way & we’re bloody loving the sounds she’s hitting us with on her fourth studio album!! A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist, she’s an emblem of millennial wit. ‘Creature of Habit’ marks a decisive new chapter in her musical evolution - a bold, addictive, emotionally resonant record that explores the central question: how to get out of your own way so you can truly feel your life? We guarantee you’ll be falling in love with her all over again in 2026.
Wailing fretboards, atom-smashing drums, grooves that you could park an ocean liner in, and vocals that have gone beyond the event horizon to report back on things that you can never unsee - this is the cult psychonauts at maximum throttle, maximum capacity, and lysergically dosed right up to the spinning eyeballs. There’s no doubt about it… This one is for THE HEADS.
Album number seven finds Blake’s haunting R&B expanding into a broader, soulful palette, utilising the strength of a full band set-up alongside his trademark electronica, flowing and drawing from many different genres whilst still feeling fresh and quintessentially James Blake. Our Ewan says that he’s “only had this on a couple of times but can tell it is going to soundtrack 2026.”
Bringing together a veritable who's who of modern indie pop for a sequel to “the best charity album ever made”, War Child have done the impossible and outdone the exceedingly high water mark of the original with this thrilling, expansive, surprising, and righteously rousing follow up. And all for a damn good (and sadly relevant) cause.
Gentler than before, this outing from the sentimental slowcore folks feels as if it could collapse in a single moment, whilst, creeping into centre stage, Tiernan Banks’ mournful vocals act as a lynchpin around which the soaring soundscapes whirl and crash, letting darts of glorious light pierce the enveloping gloom.
Showing no signs of slowing down, Peaches is back with her foot mashed firmly on the throttle. She's in your face with her lewd, rude, and hedonistic tales of nocturnal adventures all set to the sort of pumping beats that could make your therapist blush.
We've been big fans of songwriter/producer Hannah Peel for ages, and we could only welcome a collaboration with percussionist Beibei Wang with very open arms. Both genre-defying, storied artists in their own right, their shared musical landscape is bonkersly magical, creating sounds without self-consciousness, locking into tones and rhythms that feel fun and energetic. Come see it for yourself here in the shop!
