Swimteam is Emily Kinney's sophomore album. This is her first album following her 2021 album The Supporting Character.

It’s only fitting that Khruangbin’s first-ever official live releases would be albums paired with their tourmates: artists whose music they love and admire, friends who’ve become family along the way. Khruangbin’s series of live LPs traces just one small slice of the band’s flight plan through the years: it’s a taste of some of their most beloved cities, stages and nights. Each release comes with a limited-edition unique album cover exclusive for the recording’s home turf, just a little something extra for the fans that bring a little something extra. Most of all, this series ignites both sides of the band’s magic: the warm, prismatic feeling of their albums and the bewitching energy of their performances.

It’s ten years since Ane Brun marked her first decade as a recording artist with the release of Songs 2003-13, a career-encapsulating double album. Now, with her international reputation flourishing, Songs 2013-23 allows the distinguished, platinum-selling Norwegian singer songwriter to celebrate her second decade in the business – not to mention her multiple Norwegian and Swedish Grammy awards – while also illustrating the ongoing, fascinating evolution of her singular, compelling talent.

Subtle Love not only distills The Slow Show’s sumptuous indie pop formula, but it casts the group’s net into exciting fresh waters, incorporating winsome folk (Royal Blue) and anthemic, widescreen rock (One Shot) too. Across ten songs, the listener is taken on an amble through the band’s past and into a tantalising future. It is a highly melodic and moving affair, made by kindred spirits and lifelong friends.

The multi-instrumentalist Laetitia Tamko, prone to playing and singing everything herself, has moved in a more rhythmic danceable direction since her 2017 debut Infinite Worlds.

Après un premier album remarquable, Lena Deluxe, musicienne accomplie, décide de partir autour du monde. Le plus sûr moyen de ne pas se répéter. Avec « Santaï », elle fait bien plus que cela.

As one of Iceland’s most successful exports, singer-songwriter Ásgeir has always pushed the boundaries of his thoughtful brand of folk-pop. On his new lo-fi interpretation of the album ‘Time On My Hands’, he’s captured an authentic style by recording acoustically, direct to a four-track tape recorder. The rework album is out on September 8th on One Little Independent Records.

As one of Iceland’s most successful exports, singer-songwriter Asgeir has spent the time between his record-breaking debut (now celebrating its 10th anniversary) and today pushing the boundaries of his textured, thoughtful brand of folk-pop. Now he releases his long anticipated fourth album Time On My Hands via One Little Independent Records. Time On My Hands sees Ásgeir in a state of self-reflection and experimentation, having spent much of the last few years in his home and in the studio deeply engrossed in writing, recording, translating and producing.

Our monuments to the triumph of the human spirit are grand and bold structures, monoliths that stretch to the heavens just as easily as they crumble to the earth. These are tributes to great people, grand journeys, and the weight of history. In our desire to honor the enormity of humankind, we might forget to also pay appropriate tribute to all the moments that make our lives and those within it beautiful and fantastically surreal. But here, in service of the intrinsic heart and whimsy at the core of the lived-experience of our lives is a trio of expert songwriters, Who Is She?

Locked-down in a small flat in downtown Toronto and perpetually grounded, Georgas decided to uproot her life in the city to a carriage house in the countryside, three hours east. Despite her pride in what she had created with The National's Aaron Desner, her faith in music in this new, unforgiving reality had started to falter. She realised in this moment that the one thing she could lean into was her own talent and work-ethic, after all her greatest ambition had always been to self-produce an album, and this was the moment.

The full album, including previously unreleased tracks such as Hannah, Waiting for Nowhere, Afterlife, Brave New World, Thorns, The Gallows, and The Feeling's Mutual.

Death nestles like a sweet creature at the heart of Holy Waters, the highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s In Praise of Shadows, set for release this Autumn via Blue Flowers. It’s less a morbid study in mortality, more a chronicle of the graciousness within each repeated cycle of life, death and rebirth, arriving eventually at a gentle affirmation to himself, to the listener, at the album’s close, to keep going, “don’t let the dark take you whole”. It’s the hope-tinged bleakness that gets you.
