Snail Mail — the project of Lindsey Jordan — announces her highly anticipated third album, Ricochet, due out March 27 on Matador Records. Her first album in five years, she returns with a renewed sense of clarity and control, asserting herself as a generational songwriter with a sharpened perspective. While her early work chronicled the emotional turbulence of young love, Ricochet reveals a deeper fixation: time, mortality, and the quiet terror of watching the things you love slip away.

Here lieth the cassette tape of Walk With The Militia, being the first full-length gathering of works by Damos Room, assembled not in triumph but in necessity. This record was not made at once, nor in one place, but gathered over years and dwellings, from Ashburton Park Lodge to a flat in Selhurst, from a dinner table in Reading to rooms above the Arctic Circle in Bodø. It is built from remnants: cast-off sessions, broken attempts, radio transmissions, the ceaseless watch of a stream

Secret Love is the finest expression yet of the profound friendships that created Dry Cleaning. Here, frontperson Florence Shaw, guitarist Tom Dowse, drummer Nick Buxton and bassist Lewis Maynard take their place in rock’s avant garde, catalysing the Reaganite paranoia of early 80s US punk and hardcore with the dry strut of Keith Richards, stoner rock, dystopian degradation, playful no wave and pastoral fingerpicking, while Florence’s delivery, meticulously calibrated to her bandmates’ soundscapes, asserts her in a lineage of spoken-word artists stretching from Laurie Anderson to Life Without Buildings’ Sue Tompkins. Producer Cate Le Bon likens the impression of listening to walking through a city; these 11 songs might also arrive like distinct images in a gallery. The record started life in Peckham rehearsal spaces, the south London four-piece writing, playing and responding to each other in the room, the instrumentalists egging each other on as Florence drew from her collection of postcards and found materials: in Dry Cleaning, music and lyrics form an inseparable, generative whole. Then they bundled their demos in a suitcase and took them to musical friends with strong palettes to test and twist them. Secret Love evolved through affirming sessions at Jeff Tweedy’s Chicago studio the Loft and explosive ones with Gilla Band’s Alan Duggan and Daniel Fox in Dublin, taking advantage of the sonic particulars of each space, and finally with Cate in the Loire Valley. Some acts would fear being subsumed by these other musical iconoclasts. Dry Cleaning wanted to push themselves harder than they ever had before. “We’re very confident about our identity,” says Florence. “It doesn’t seem to be possible to break it down.”

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.

It was Sunday June 28th, 2024 and Baxter had just stopped from a rapturously received set on The Park Stage at Glastonbury festival.

A warm breeze drifts through the open cabin of the boat, carrying the scent of salt and sun-warmed teak as it stirs the linen curtains. The man moves easily, bare feet against the wooden floor, the slow rhythm of the harbor rocking beneath him.

An incredibly addictive debut release from a mysterious new artist we know almost nothing about. OFF DAY reached out to us with a cryptic message on Instagram, and we were instantly hooked on his genre-bending, ear-pleasing EP. Nothing about it is standard—not the artist’s communication, the 20-minute mixtape-style format, or the surprising juxtaposition of genres (Drum & Bass, Jersey Club, Hip-Hop, Techno...).

Did you miss her debut album “Simple Sentences” ?! Let us introduce you to the latest signing at Tigersushi Records: Shoko Igarashi! With this second record Shoko unveils a new genre called “Onsen Music”. Each track invites you on a relaxing journey, much like soaking away your troubles in the steamy hot waters of a traditional Japanese spa (Onsen). The variety of songs mimic the variety of onsens, some are salty and scorching, some are smooth and clear, some are bubbly and colorful, and others are a refreshing dip into crisp clear waters. In every instance, there's a sense of satisfaction as soothing and delightful as the tracks themselves. This ode to “relax”, while remaining irresistibly danceable, is filled with good vibrations, melodies and hooks that go straight to the heart, saxophone playing virtuosity, intricate electronic compositions, vocals that make us dream of new worlds, and beats that could keep us on a dancefloor all night long.

After years of garnering acclaim across the underground and mainstream for a singular, boundary-pushing stream of consciousness sound, London based rapper, producer and poet John Glacier’s debut album, Like A Ribbon, will finally be released via Young (The xx/FKA twigs/Sampha etc.) on February 14th 2025. A dreamlike portrayal of the journey from a simple existence growing up in Hackney, to projecting stories to the world while aiming to maintain a semblance of normalcy in what is a very extraordinary life, Like A Ribbon fuses rap, electronic music, post-punk and so much more across 11 wildly diverse tracks, already spawning singles ‘Money Shows’ (ft. Eartheater), ‘Steady As I Am’, ‘Cows Come Home’, and ‘Found’. Today sees the final taste of the album’s eclectic fusion of sounds before its release in the form of new single ‘Ocean Stepping’, which features forward-thinking soul luminary Sampha.

Collector, seeker and storyteller Charles Bals brings his curatorial finesse to Hamburg's Bureau B with 'Ambientale', a journey into otherworldly sounds from the years 1983 - 2000. Drifting effortlessly between digital exoticism, mellow fusion, new age groove and library electronics, the pieces range from largely obscure to utterly un-google-able, and coalesce into a stunning soundtrack to tranquil seas, desert sand and starlit skies. Cinematic & enigmatic, 'Ambientale' is a stranger you've only just met but can't stop thinking about.

Described as 'the best album the Pixies never made', Frank Black's Teenager of The Year is being re-released on gold vinyl to mark its 30th anniversary.

The album is also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, while The Quietus said in 2014: "'Teenager Of The Year' feels like a lost Pixies album in the same way that 'Ram' feels like a lost Beatles album. It's colossal, bursting with innovation."

KOMPROMAT is the alliance of Vitalic and Rebeka Warrior (Sexy Sushi, Mansfield.TYA).

In January 2025, they returned with PLДYING / PRДYING on Warriorecords, a label founded by Rebeka Warrior. This new album explores themes such as prayer (pagan or not), funeral rites, passages between different worlds, but also the pleasures of the flesh, dance, and ecstasy - like a divine invocation through music.

All playlists and mixtapes will be broadcast at 5pm (local time) on the 3 radio stations, followed by the broadcast of the record we have supported.

Area Silenzio is eat-girls' debut record and it is both haunted and haunting. For the past four years, the French trio have been crafting their songs into little self-contained worlds with the patience of entomologists, taking them out all over the country and Europe to confront them with the wilderness of a live audience. The ten resulting tracks are a collection of electronic madrigals, groove driven songs played on a mischievous multi-speed Victrola, ranging from languid dub drips to full-on drum machine cavalcades.

"Haut la vache" is a sound exploration album, the testimony of a twilight contemplation and incidentally the second field recording album by collectif_sin~. After "Tour de transmission" (2016) which is the capture of celestial flutes created by the wind rushing into a metal structure at the top of a Pyrenean ridge, we head to Switzerland where the tinkling of cow bells form infinite landscapes for the ears, a metallic tide that sways along the green grass that you can listen to on side A, while on side B you will discover a remix of the bells by collectif_sin~.

Originally from La Hague near Cherbourg and based in Rennes for 7 years, Héron Cendré shapes a poetic world where modular synth sounds, field recordings gleaned from schools and other minimalist lo-fi oddities blend together. The album 3-4 is the perfect illustration of this. It is "a feat of purity, minimal, chaotic, sacred, cosmic, tender, all at once and more, between film music and spatial signal, a new language all by itself" (Gonzaï). Among his influences, we can cite Terry Riley, Philippe Glass, Hiroshi Yoshimura as well as François de Roubaix, Jean-Jacques Perrey or Pierre Bastien.

Jose Guerrero aka Telomante lives in Valencia and runs the Mascarpone Discos label. A prolific producer, he multiplies projects such as Sentuhlà on Abstrakce Records or Rastrejo on his own label.

The warmth of the sound and the strength that emanates from it make this album a gem of minimalist electronic music.

Naomie Klaus is a young artist from Marseille based in Brussels.

Initially released on cassette (100 copies) in December 2023, the vinyl edition is scheduled for September 20 (already on order on bandcamp)
