Simon Byrt Vs Babeheaven

Y’know what’s a great movie? Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. It features a tremendous performance from a young DiCaprio, some fantastic shirts and a bit where they blow up a petrol station. It was also the first place a lot of us heard the fantastic Lovefool by the Cardigans, a high watermark in mid-90s Scandinavian songwriting.

Darren Lawson Vs Pixey

This new Pixey track is ace, and we were delighted when Darren Lawson was invited to mix the track. Sunshine State is a high energy piece of 90’s indie tinged pop produced by Pete Robinson that is already starting to pick up editorial support.

Darren Lawson Vs Voodoo Bandits

Voodoo Bandits have the potential to be your new favourite band. Their tunes are dead catchy, smartly written and fun as fuck. They’re also from the Isle of Man, which is a place I know barely anything about, except that they’ve done a good job of containing coronavirus, and the cats there don’t have tails, which is quite interesting, when you think about it.

Henry Brill Vs Joy Oladokun

Joy Oladokun’s third record, In Defense of My Own Happiness, is out today on Republic Records and it’s a total triumph. What’s more, we’re very pleased that Joy’s chosen to include a song she wrote a little while ago with our very own Henry Brill on the LP. It’s called Let It Be Me and it’s a little bit heartbreaking, a little bit tender and lyrically and musically stupendous. Do yourself a favour today and go and check out the whole record.

Henry Brill Vs DePresno

This is a big one - today sees the release of the new album from our incredibly talented pal, DePresno - out today via Sony Music Norway. I’m a bit hungover and thinking of how much I love this album and how proud I am that Henry Brill has co-written it with dePresno and Askjell is making me come over all emotional. It’s a beautiful set of stories and songs and I implore you to get involved with the album as soon as possible.

Owen Lewis Vs Matt Maeson

Matt Maeson is a phenomenal talent - his 2019 record Bank On The Funeral (and its acoustic sibling) is a sublime piece of work. His new single, Nelsonwood Lane, came out earlier this week on Neon Gold/Atlantic and it’s every bit as exciting and beautiful as its forebears. Produced by the fantastic James Flannigan, we were over the moon to have our guy Owen Lewis be invited to engineer.

Al Groves Vs Bedside Manners

Bedside Manners released their newest track, Feel Alive, this week. Produced and mixed by Al Groves and engineered by Loic Gaillard at the Motor Museum, it follows on from their heavily playlisted previous collaboration, Out Of Control. This is a very exciting song from a very exciting band.

Henry Brill Vs The End of John Joseph Brill

We deal primarily in behind the scenes talent round here, so it’s not often I get to talk about gigs. I am, however, able to say with a mixture of delight and sadness that our boy Henry Brill will be performing for the final time under his John Joseph Brill moniker. He’s doing two nights in Nashville - one this evening (the 30th April) which is fully sold out, and one tomorrow (1st May), which has a couple of tickets week. It’s at a secret location and I am beyond gutted than I’m not able to be there. Goddamn pandemic.

Sean Oakley Vs Scalping

Post-punk meets techno? Don’t mind if I do. Sean Oakley has been defying the barriers presented by mere geography to continue working with one of Bristol’s most exciting new bands, Scalping. He’s produced, engineered and mixed their new single Monolithium, that precedes their upcoming EP (and with any luck, a whole heap of raucous live shows).
