JAMES BRANDON LEWIS QUARTET
ABSTRACTION IS DELIVERANCE
Release Date : 30 May 2025 (Intakt Records)
CD [INTAKT437]
James Brandon Lewis is on the top of the international jazz world. With a powerful, direct and rich tenor saxophone sound and a lyrical quality that unfolds in both his solos and his compositions, he is creating a sensation - most effectively with his quartet. Abstraction Is Deliverance is the fifth album by the acclaimed James Brandon Lewis Quartet with Aruán Ortiz, Brad Jones and Chad Taylor.
After the internationally acclaimed albums Molecular, Code of Being, MSM Molecular Systematic Music Live and Transfiguration, James Brandon Lewis now presents Abstraction Is Deliverance - a wonderful ballad album that isn’t one. With a profound sense for lyrical melodies, tonal concision and dynamics, the quartet develop a spirited interplay, reacting to the tiniest atmospheric oscillations on the sound and groove level. Teju Cole, whose books are considered outstanding works of recent American literature, contributes a text in the booklet to this new masterpiece.
Look forward to a sweeping indulgence

CD [TR584CD], LP [TR584LP]. Limited indies only Red Vinyl [TR584LTD]
Brand new album from Robert Forster of The Go-Betweens
Limited indies only red vinyl version plus black vinyl LP and CD
Picture one of our greatest living singer-songwriters in a kitchen. He is on holidays, he's just had a swim. His wife is out on the beach, and he finds himself faced with a bowl of irresistible strawberries. They're meant to be shared, of course, but their taste is “out of the ordinary”, so he just can't help himself. Minutes later all of the delicious fruit are gone, but there's the germ of a song as the phrase “Someone ate all the strawberries” has just popped into Robert Forster's mind, sounding “so weird, but normal”. Thankfully, he has taken his guitar with him

THE DELINES
MR.LUCK & MS.DOOM
Release date : 14 February 2025 (Decor Records)
CD [DECOR70CD] LP - Brown colour vinyl [DECOR70LP]
The fourth album from The Delines released on Valentines Day 2025 - available on CD and limited edition brown colour vinyl.
Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom is The Delines at their broken-hearted, romantic best, featuring eleven new originals that follow songwriter Willy Vlautin's aesthetic of down-and-out character sketches set to rich folk-soul-country instrumentation. Amy Boone’s lush, world-worn voice floats perfectly alongside the cinematic production skills of John Morgan Askew and the horn and string arrangements of Delines keyboardist/trumpeter Cory Gray. As always, Freddy Trujillo is on bass, Sean Oldham is on drums, and Vlautin is on guitar.
“The Delines’ finest album to date... You’d have to reach for the likes of Bobbie Gentry’s Patchwork or Rickie Lee Jones’ Pirates to find a world so rich and intimately strange... Amy Boone’s voice is sweet and wry as a glass of Bourbon for breakfast, ‘Left hook Like Frazier’ grooves like prime Curtis Mayfield.” Uncut – 9/10

Release date : 24 January 2025 (Glitterhouse)
CD [GRCD1135], LP - Crystal Clear Colour Vinyl - [GRLP1135]
There’s a rough-hewn and undeniable beauty in the varied sonic and emotional textures found on The Land We Knew the Best: dark ambiance, distorted crescendos, deep-voiced storytelling and moments of hard earned stillness. It is an album of memory and place; heart and hope. It is an immersive, vivid walk through the landscapes that Chris Eckman knows the best.

"This latest iteration of Ian McArdle's and Owen Williams's Joanna Gruesome turns their lush vocals, guitar heroics and recent heartbreaks into melodic gold"- Artist of the Week 5***** The Guardian, The Observer
THE LOFT
EVERYTHING CHANGES, EVERYTHING STAYS THE SAME
The Return Of The Loft - 39 years after an acrimonious split, it seemed the time was right to record their debut album. Last year, after a sell-out show at London's MOTH club and their heralded appearance at the Glas-Goes Pop festival, the group was invited by BBC 6 Music's 'Riley & Coe' to record its fourth BBC session, at Maida Vale's famous Studio 4. Within 6 months the session was rush released by Precious Recordings of London on glorious ten inch vinyl. Enter Hamburg based, Tapete Records, who, hearing rumours about new Loft material, snapped up the album and signed the band without hearing a single note. The ten song collection, 'Everything Changes, Everything Stays The Same', is released by Tapete on 14th March, 2025.
JOHN MURRY & MICHAEL TIMMINS
A LITTLE BIT OF GRACE AND DECAY
The Soundtrack to accompany the Award winning Documentary "The Graceless Age: The Ballad Of John Murry". Written and performed by John Murry and Mike Timmins (Cowboy Junkies). This haunting film is the story of American singer songwriter John Murry, who was on the cusp of greatness after the release of his highly acclaimed album The Graceless Age (2013), when his world fell apart. Addicted to heroin and creatively exhausted, he washed up on the shores of Ireland, a broken man. Now, he retraces his steps back to Mississippi into the dark heart of American life and faces his demons- a neglected childhood, traumatic assault, and resulting years of opioid addiction.

Release date: CD - 29 July 2022 LP - 05 August 2022
CD [BREATHCD24] LP [BREATHLP24]
Dreamlike and Hallucinogenic, a hazy luminosity billows from every pore of Breathless' forthcoming album See Those Colours Fly. The music of Dream-Pop Melancholics, Breathless has never been the sort to be hurried - after all, See Those Colours Fly, mixed by Kramer, is only their third new release this century. But while progress on the group's eighth album was unavoidably delayed by a stroke of cruel misfortune - not to mention the realities of the global pandemic - the finished work is one of their finest, brimming with melody, transfigured by its long period of gestation and the changes fate imposed on their creative process.
