10th Anniversary of ‘Out There’ with SACD
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of 'Out There', we've repressed the long out of print, half speed mastered 180g LP and included the hybrid SACD of the album.

Georgia Ruth : Fossil Scale
PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM HERE Welsh singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Georgia Ruth has announced a new album Fossil Scale, due for release on CD October 7, 2016 via Navigator Records with the vinyl to follow in early December on Diverse Records. The record is the follow up to 2013’s Welsh Music Prize winning Week Of Pines - a feat Georgia never contemplated she’d achieve for her critically acclaimed, bilingual debut album.

Eleanor McEvoy : Naked Music
Naked Music is the title of Irish star Eleanor McEvoy's new album, recorded alone in the studio to create an intimate collection of her music at its most raw - one instrument, one voice, performed live. Best known for her songs Sophie and the Irish standard Only A Woman's Heart, Eleanor's new album features exclusive artwork by the famed painter Chris Gollon. She asked Chris to do a painting for the cover in this solitary context. Chris was so taken with the songs he completed four paintings in response - two on the 'Naked' theme, and two related to song titles ...

Kris Drever : If Wishes Were Horses
To simply call Kris Drever ‘a folksinger’ would be like saying that LAU, the acclaimed band in which he also sings and plays, is ‘a Scottish folk trio’. Both true descriptions but reductive ones that only hint at the progressive joys contained in the music of each. Kris Drever launches into 2016 with a brand new studio album If Wishes Were Horses and a supporting tour. With it he celebrates his first decade as an acclaimed solo artist and songwriter. The new album is his first for six years (during which time his band Lau have established themselves as the most ...

NME have announced their 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time in this week’s issue. The Boo Radley’s Giant Steps is ranked at 199. Here’s what they say:
“A band who’s career was killed by an unrepresentatively chipper hit single, it’s easy to forget this post-shoe groundbreaker that boasted the brilliant ‘Lazarus’.”
I can’t help but think they [...]
