There's something really powerful about a song built on the idea of honoring memory, and "Ramey Road" carries that weight with real thoughtfulness. Written by Jilly after visiting Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site with her students, this track was sparked by a moment on that hike when one of her indigenous students remarked that they could be walking on the bones of their ancestors.
On the surface this record might seem like a straightforward folk album, but once you really listen, we promise you’ll realize it’s so much more than that. Jake Sheppard's "Golly" leans fully into that sensibility. Blending elements country-rock with a distinctly freak folk edge, this record sits comfortably alongside artists like Devendra Banhart or David Berman as it carries that same lilting, candid, funny kind of heartsick energy that makes those artists so beloved. However, Jake 100% has his own thing going.
Rachel Chinouriri is peeling back another layer of her upcoming second album, and this one cuts especially close to the bone. Today the rising UK artist shared "Make Believe," a darkly shimmering, sensual new single that arrives as the second preview of I Think I Spoke Too Soon, out October 16 via Parlophone/Warner Records! Believe us when we say, this one is a can’t miss.
The way this EP has rolled out has truly been a masterclass in building momentum towards a cohesive piece that we’ve been attached to since the very beginning. On his latest single, “The Chalk Outline", this artist has continued that streak beautifully. As the fourth track from Paul Frazer Clarke's Five Coordinates EP, this collaboration with Scottish songwriter Charlie Grant is one of the smoothest, most effortlessly enjoyable songs in the whole project so far,
When we first talked to Tom Morfitt-White in our interview recently, we instantly knew he was going to be an artist that would consistently impress. With his debut EP just released, titled "Love Me Now,”, he’s made a genuinely strong case for why he's already being talked about as a rising star. Released through the independent label White Light Records on September 4th, this project feels like a great snapshot of everything he's capable of, and it's exciting to think this is only the beginning!
