Ambient sound-design with subtle soft-rock guitar work and organic drums walks hand-in-hand with a breathy, intimate and revealing vocal line.

Cardiff’s own electro-rock extraordinaires The Vanities storm through with a full-length album of absolute anthems this season.
Hamburg’s Chris Flyke rebuilds the neon arena with another full-length album of originals crafted with style and care alike.
Big beats and the blissfully nostalgic embrace of melodic synths and multiple layers of colour – Coolmowee brings back the dance-pop weight and warmth of a simpler era, with a series of catchy releases.
Introducing an artistically refreshing project of various styles and moments – Matthew Heller leads with identity and strength of songwriting combined, throughout the emotive deep-dive that is Maybe My Love Was Just Right.
The One makes fine use of shock factor increasingly throughout its lifespan, evolving from the love song to something else entirely as we realise the sheer eccentrics of Steve, the Anxious Rapper.
Slow-burning electro-pop of delicate expression and topical relevance – singer and songwriter jake from the timeline brings together comedy and conceptual depth throughout a joyful then unsettling 5g.
A fascinating, subtly beautiful album, with a defiant level of identity about it.
