Fcukers – Ö

Nothing about the album asks permission: it wants a dancefloor, a crowd and a slightly irresponsible amount of volume.

Good Kid - Can We Hang Out Sometime?

'Can We Hang Out Sometime?’ chases the pure pleasure of great guitar pop.

MUNA are dancing at the edge of the world

On their fourth album 'Dancing On The Wall', MUNA step into a darker, sweat-soaked world where queer desire, apocalypse anxiety and theatrical self-awareness collide.

Holly Humberstone builds her own fairytale in a cruel world

From Grimm’s Fairy Tales to South East London renovations, Holly Humberstone’s second album transforms upheaval into escapism. ‘Cruel World’ is a celebration of sisterhood, romance and learning to trust your instincts when everything else feels unstable.

What happens when Ego Ella May stops overthinking?

On 'Good Intentions', Ego Ella May loosens her grip on perfection and lets the music breathe. Recorded with community spirit and guided by intuition, it's a confident step forward built on freedom over fear.

Arlo Parks is taking her storytelling to the dancefloor

Already one of the defining voices of her generation, Arlo Parks uses ‘Ambiguous Desire’ to stretch into dance textures and minimalism, her gift for intimate observation still leading the way.

Snail Mail stares into the void and finds herself

On her third album 'Ricochet', Lindsey Jordan swaps teenage romance for mortality, time and the terror of loving anything too much. It's her most expansive and emotionally ambitious record yet.

CHALK are choosing the future on their debut album ‘Crystalpunk’

Punk abrasion meets warehouse euphoria on CHALK’s debut ‘Crystalpunk’ – a record rooted in place and powered by possibility.

Check out The Orielles' Teenage Kicks playlist, feat. L$D, The Specials, Metronomy and more

The Orielles take us through the music that meant the most to them during their teenage years.

Witch Post take us inside every track on their new EP 'Butterfly'

As the duo return with their new EP 'Butterfly', Alaska Reid takes us inside every track from folk-horror imagery and county-fair nostalgia to anxious inner voices and bruised devotion.
