Back in 2020 a debut album from a Hull band caught us all by surprise. Bedroom from bdrmm is a stunning debut for any band.

Back in the plague ridden, lockdown times of 2020 I was scanning my Bandcamp feed one day for something new to listen to. It was then I discovered Lawrence, Kansas based duo Sweeping Promises.

New Zealand-based artist Lukas Mayo has sought out the magic in the mundane for their latest album, Laundromat.
