#118 Huck & The Xander Band – Alex

#117 Milk & Biscuits – Hairstyles
Milk & Biscuits, a collaborative project out of Brighton led by Restlesslist duo Matthew Davies and Max Erle, play at Glastonbury today so that seemed like a good (tenuous) excuse to bring you this lovely slice of indie pop. It sounds…
#116 Kit Richardson – Trust
Birmingham-born Kit Richardson pulls off a folk-pop blinder here with first single, ‘Trust’. The delightful lyrics are spelled out in a cheeky, post-Dylan video that will have you ‘ahhing’, if not jumping around to the handily-flagged instrumental sections. If this…

#110 Gibson Bull – Skin & Bones
FFS favourite Gibson Bull is readying another EP but, conscious that the likes of us are already getting impatient to hear it in full, he’s gone ahead and released the title track. It’s remarkable to hear how much his sound…
