#530 Will Fox – The Boy You Fell For

#528 William Henry – The Waltz

The Shrunken Head Sessions by William Henry ‘The Shrunken Head’ sounds to us like some characterful old pub, probably in a harbour town, full of dodgy sorts looking for a quick swindle. If you’re imagining this scene, add if you…

#527 Exclusive | Octopuses – Cool Story Bro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7bpaB9gGCM Ahhh, well this is just tremendous. The new Octopuses video shows Adam Bell from the band reminiscing about an appearance on a Top Of he Pops-style show in their imagined 1980s heyday. And it’s great. Bell says the new…

#522 James Yorkston – Great Ghosts

For Folk's Sake | James Yorkston | Alexis Taylor | KT Tunstall | The Pictish Trail

The first single off James Yorkston’s forthcoming album The Cellardyke Recording And Wassailing Society (a jolly collaboration with a host of good Scottish people) is a mellow, sauntering piece of pop. With a visually addictive bloodied monochrome marvel of a video to…

#521 Lily & Madeleine – The Wolf Is Free

Lily & Madeleine are back! If you don’t know why that’s exciting then you simply haven’t been paying attention, because we’ve been banging on about them for ages. It seems absurd that the sisters could be on to their second…
