It’s soon to be the most wonderful time of the year! And in the old tradition, Aidan Moffat & RM Hubbert invites you to gather round the fire for Ghost Stories for Christmas. These are the ghosts of love, haunting happy homes and fairy-lit bars; these are the ghosts of memory, of haunted mirrors, pagan festivities, and unforgettable friends.

Introducing >>> Post Lovers

Post Lovers, the Athens-based act of songwriter and vocalist Eleni Karageorgou have announced the release of their self-titled debut album, due out on December 10th via Inner Ear and they’ve also shared the album’s first single Tiger. It is gorgeously crafted and sweetly melancholic with echoes of Cate Le Bon and is well worth a listen. Great artwork too! Continue reading Introducing >>> Post Lovers

Introducing >>> Gabriella Rose

Moulded in the raw poeticism of Lou Reed and Nico-era Velvet Underground, sixteen year old Gabriella Rose’s dynamic songwriting comes from a deeply broken place. Her roots inject even more piercing context to the songs on her debut Lost In Translation EP, on which her voice houses her turbulent past – the loneliness, the uncertainty, and the gloom. But in analyzing her past, she has taken those experiences … Continue reading Introducing >>> Gabriella Rose

Frog – Bones

Loving this track of stripped back, insistently sparse folk from New York duo Frog. The wonderfully poignant and unrestrained Bones comes from new album Whatever We Probably Already Had It, out on Audio Antihero, and which can be ordered from Bandcamp here. Listen to it below, along with the (possibly equally good) frantic strum of American. Continue reading Frog – Bones

The Return Of David Cronenberg’s Wife

The wonderful David Cronenberg’s Wife (aka DCW) are back with a new EP, The Octoberman Sequence, which is due out via Blang Records tomorrow (digitally) and on the 2nd November on limited 12″ vinyl. Key players in the UK’s antifolk scene in the late 2000s, we loved them for their black humour, sense of the macabre and twisted, often enjoyably bitter lyrics. Theirs was a … Continue reading The Return Of David Cronenberg’s Wife
