The Last Exit is the fifth studio album from Still Corners, released on Wrecking Light Records. With the shimmering desert noir sound the band has become known for, The Last Exit takes you on a hypnotic journey, one filled with dilapidated towns, mysterious shapes on the horizon, and long trips that blur the line between what’s there and not there. Greg says, “We found something out there in the desert – something in the vast landscapes that went on forever." The Last Exit consists of eleven beautifully crafted songs with organic instrumentation, clean-toned guitar, spacious drums and the smoky croon of Tessa Murray. Album highlights include The Last Exit, White Sands and Shifting Dunes all of which evoke the vast space of the desert and rolling unconcerned skies.

Doves release their fifth long player The Universal Want on Virgin EMI. On lead track Prisoners Doves forces attention upon itself, not least with the poignancy of Goodwin’s repeated greeting to ‘old friends’, but as an unstoppable, driving tale of caution in a world of unending desire. Produced by Doves with Dan Austin and recorded at the band’s own Frank Bough Sound III studios in North West England, the high heat of its Northern Soul beat is fanned by wiry guitar breaks and cuts of ethereal noise contorting beneath layers of stacked vocals. A statuesque musical statement, Prisoners guides Doves’ second chapter to a peak now within touching distance, the lyrics contrasting to express unease with modern ills.

Kurt Vile’s Speed, Sound, Lonely KV (ep) was recorded and mixed in sporadic sessions that spanned four years at The Butcher Shoppe studio in Nashville, TN. It includes five songs — covers of John Prine and “Cowboy” Jack Clement as well as two originals — and was recorded alongside a cast of local heavies like Bobby Wood, Dave Roe, Kenny Malone and Matt Sweeney (Chavez, Superwolf). Most importantly, it features what KV has called “Probably the single most special musical moment in my life” – a duet with the late John Prine on the songwriter’s well-loved tune, “How Lucky.”

Passenger is the stage name of Michael Rosenberg. Once the name of his band, Michael Rosenberg opted to retain the name after the dissolution of the band after only one album (Wicked Man’s Rest – 2007). Pursuing a solo career, Michael Rosenberg (as Passenger) released Wide Eyes Blind Love in 2009. By the time of his third solo album, Passenger was beginning to make his mark on the listening and growing fanbase. Flight of The Crow (2010) gave Australian fans a reason to be happy. The charts certified the album Gold. With that influence and the release of the popular hit song, “Let Her Go”, Passenger‘s fourth album, All The Little Lights exploded with interest and presented Michael Rosenberg with international success. On January 8 of 2021, Passenger will release his new album, Songs For The Drunk and Broken Hearted. It will be delivered with a slate of ten brand new compositions. The album will be released via Nettwerk Records in the US market. It follows closely on the heels of the digital only release of Passenger‘s previous album, Patchwork, which was issued on July 10 of 2020.

"Singer, songwriter and composer Jurriaans is stepping into uncharted territory with his debut solo album ‘Beasts’, to be released this autumn on September 18th and it might be one of the most vulnerable, affecting and musically inventive records you’re likely to hear in 2020. With ‘Beasts’, Jurriaans has succeeded in crafting a singular, personal record that is wholly his own. That’s what makes the album title an apt one. “Putting out music this intimate is scary,” he says. “It's a beast. The whole album is a beast and each song is a beast.”

After the debut album Places in 2012 (platinum double-disc - Victoire de la Musique Female Artist) entrusted to the care of Etienne Daho, then Lay Low (gold record), produced by the Canadian Taylor Kirk (Timbre Stamp), Lou Doillon returns with a third studio album. A turn for the artist who abandons guitar follk for the electric, and builds the songs on beats mixing organic sounds. Sensual, hot, bewitching, intense but also dance orientated. With Benjamin Lebeau, half of The Shoes, she works on four songs including the fantastic first single Burn which growls with post-punk guitars and industrial friction behind the voice of Lou. Lou Doillon also entrusted another part of the production to Dan Levy (The D) for 3 tracks, and teamed up with Nicolas Subrchicot, for the rest of the album. A soliloquy gives a voice to inner thoughts. With her new album, Lou Doillon reveals more of herself than ever.
