Drab Majesty – Careless – (2015)

Currently the drummer for Los Angeles lo-fi rock ensemble Marriages and having honed an unorthodox home recording style, Deb sources his sounds from a repository of “mid-fi” synthesizers and other lesser-quality instruments. Influences range from the virtuosic arpeggiated guitar work of Felt’s Maurice Deebank and the grittier pop progressions of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry’s Chris Reed as well as Steve Severin from Siouxsie and The Banshees.   Following the release of his debut cassette EP, “UNARIAN DANCES”, he also shared a split 12″ with synth pop forefathers, Eleven Pond.  During the Spring of 2015, Drab Majesty signed with Dais Records and released his first single, Unknown to the I, as a introduction for his first initial foray into the album format, romantically titled Careless.

Bill Ryder-Jones - West Kirby County Primary (Domino,2015)

The ex-Coral guitarist and Arctic Monkeys collaborator’s third solo album is a melancholy delight

Julia Kent


Music video for "Invitation to the Voyage," by Julia Kent, from the album "Asperities," to be released 30 October 2015 on the Leaf Label

Asperities is the fourth solo album by acclaimed Canadian cellist Julia Kent. As the title suggests, this is a record born of conflict: internal, personal and global. Universal themes. The build of pressure and the threat of violent release. Modern guilt. Modern fears.

Colder

Boogarins – Manual (2015)

The sophomore studio long player from the Brazilian psych-pop outfit led by longtime friends Fernando “Dino” Almeida and Benke Ferraz, Manual continues to mine classic ’60s Tropicalia and liquid-light show neo-psychedelia, but with a more contemporary flair. What’s changed since 2013’s excellent As Plantas Que Curam is that the band is no longer just Almeida and Ferraz conjuring up the ghost of Os Mutantes in their pieced-together basement studio.

Jeffrey Lewis & Los Bolts – Manhattan – (2015)

“The best lyricist working in the US today.” – Jarvis Cocker

130701 record label mixtape : Pioneers of Post Classical 
"130701 - the sub-label of Brighton based imprint FatCat , can arguably lay the claim to having paved the way for the current generation of artists blurring the boundaries between classical composition and electronic aesthetics… Signing artists such as Max Richter, Jóhan Jóhannsson, Hauschka and Dustin O’Halloran, the label established a flawless roster of artists…" The mixtape features one track lifted from each of the imprint's albums, running in chronological order from the first to the latest release.

Girls Names – Arms Around a Vision (2015)

After throwing their fans for a loop by shifting their outlook from their first album’s bright noise pop to their second’s gloomy post-punk, Girls Names‘ third album doubles down on the somberness and despair, strips off a layer of studio gloss, and adds some tricky bits to the arrangements. Arms Around a Vision has a grittier feel and tougher sound, with jagged guitars and loud drums, while at the same time the band shows a more nuanced way of arranging the songs. The dynamic shifts within the songs are bracing, the differences in tone from song to song keep listeners guessing, and the subtleties in the arrangements are a definite step forward.
