On their latest offering ‘Tides’, husband-and-wife duo The Bergamot shape a deeply personal story into a piano-led ballad that moves with patience, restraint and considerable cinematic scale. The track serves as the first glimpse of the duo’s forthcoming album Before This Is Over, and signals a broader, more orchestral chapter in their work.Continue Reading
Jealousy is rarely reasonable, but few examples expose its destructive logic quite as vividly as resenting a rival who cannot be confronted, defeated or removed. On his latest offering ‘That There Is Our Problem’, South London singer-songwriter Paul Garside transforms an extraordinary real-life incident into a sharply drawn alt-folk narrative about possessiveness, woundedContinue Reading
Conflict has a strange way of changing the temperature of a room. A conversation that begins with one small frustration can quickly become a battle over memory, blame and who gets to define what really happened. And on his new single ‘Unusual’, LA artist Evil Little Thing steps directly into that uncomfortable space,Continue Reading
Adulthood rarely collapses beneath one monumental disaster.

And on his new single ‘Pretty in the Dark’, Italian producer Alessandro Marchetti, working as Les Flâneurs, captures that fragile state with considerable sensitivity. The single movesContinue Reading
Electronic music built for movement can often become overly concerned with impact. The louder the beat, the faster the tempo and the brighter the synthesiser, the better, or so the assumption goes. But on ‘pulse’, Tokyo quartet polyμ take a more considered route, creating an energetic dance track whose momentum comes as muchContinue Reading
Sixteen years away from releasing music inevitably changes a band’s perspective. For Reading indie-rock group The Race, that distance has brought parenthood, responsibility and a deeper awareness of the generations surrounding them.
