Aaron Smith – Brother

A fragile yet utterly mesmerising release from Aaron Smith.

“Brother is a song about addiction. It is based on a story that I had been told and felt I could relate parts of that story back to myself and some of the struggles myself and loved ones may have faced over the years. Addiction is a scary topic that can affect anyone in any walk of life, whether it is drugs, alcohol or anything else – it feels like a bit of a taboo subject but is something I feel strongly about and felt I wanted to address. It can consume peoples minds to the point of no return.”

Tash Sultana – Pretty Lady

“I’ve been trying to figure out how to write this song for six years. I used to loop it and just freestyle to it when I was busking years ago but I always got stuck on the same parts. I put the song in a box at the back of my mind and revisited it in November 2019. I had Dann Hume and Matt Corby spend some time in my studio and that’s when I decided to show them this song. It’s my first song I’ve collaborated with other players on.”

New Music: Edora

Exciting new music talent from this 3-piece Stockholm group. An infectious and nicely written piece of indie pop.

“We live in success, we strive and we chase success. At the beginning of the process we wrote the song more as a joke. We were talking about how success is controlling everyones life today and we started to recognise ourself in the message of the song. It resulted in an ironic song with a relatable topic.”

Saint Jude – Keep the Light Inside the House

“It might be slightly based on scenes in the film the Mirror by Andrei Tarkovsky that I watched that the night before and I think some of that film’s imagery crept into the lyrics. Lyrics are the thing I find the hardest to write and I never really think my lyrics are good enough, but with this tune I left them exactly as they were when I first sung them.”

Watch: Aiden Myers – Help Me

“The song came about during one of the worst nervous breakdowns of my life. We had all the songs done for the EP and I knew I needed to write a song about my mental health and anxiety. I’m very nervous about putting this one out, but I hope to God it can reach people, and hopefully let people know that they are not alone.”

Nick AM – Thief


“The past 12 months have seen protests across the globe, some peaceful, some violent. Though separated geographically, they’re united in spirit. ‘Thief’ celebrates those fighting to take back their rights.”
