‘The Official Covers’ by Koudlam on Pan European recording

Eight young musicians from northern Benin are expanding their boundaries with an explosive third album. ‘Jusqu'au bout du monde’ marks a turning point: more produced sounds, more ambitious keyboards, refined harmonies—but the same raw energy. Their messages remain direct: children's rights, education, women's freedom. It's committed, multilingual Afro-rock, made to move and think. From Glastonbury to local radio stations, they've never stopped playing. Today, they're taking the next step: Star Feminine Band is entering the big leagues.

Baxter Dury is pleased to announce his ninth studio album 'Allbarone' which will be released on Heavenly Recordings on September 12th 2025. It was Sunday June 28th, 2024 and Baxter had just stopped from a rapturously received set on The Park Stage at Glastonbury festival. After towelling himself down, a familiar figure approached him backstage. It was Paul Epworth, the lauded producer / songwriter whose creations have draped themselves across the airwaves of the 21st Century more successfully than other Briton.

Water From Your Eyes, the New York duo of Rachel Brown and Nate Amos, is back with 'It's A Beautiful Place', a new album on Matador. After a busy 2024 (a tour with Interpol, and the release of solo projects by both members under their respective pseudonyms Thanks For Coming and This Is Lorelei), Water From Your Eyes is back with a collection of 10 tracks with new energy. Recorded mainly in the summer of 2024, the album offers a wide variety of styles, with tracks designed for live performance since the arrival of Al Nardo (guitar) and Bailey Wollowitz (drums) to the stage lineup. The duo asserts itself at the peak of its creativity, always capable of offering introspective, fresh and inventive experimental pop.
