New Osees album “Off Course” is out this Friday!!!

Available on Ltd Indie Transparent Blood Red Vinyl, Black Vinyl & CD from all good record shops!!

“We went back to an older method of writing for this one. We jammed and jammed and jammed. I took the tapes home and ironed out some mutant tunes. We went back into the studio and burned them to tape live and then I took it home to Stu-Stu-Studio and did the vocals and bought in Tom Dolas & Brigid Dawson to put the finish on. Spice is always nice. Mixed it all up in the cauldron and thus we have a strange brew indeed Floating in the smoke we have: A couple long jams, a couple short jams and a finale that’ll dump a bucket of ear worms on you (reminiscent of “the axis”?) Dip your toe in organ rock and roll. So without further ado we present to you “OFF COURSE”. An album wondering where the f**k are we and how did we get here. A signal dispatched out into the darkness. We are here. We are alive. And we are together. CHEERS NO EARS - JPD

Their eponymous debut album is a shimmering piece of summer pop, suffused with a sharp wit and attitude to move body and heart. 10 short, sharp, songs, a jangle of drums and guitars, woven beneath the glorious, chiming harmonies of singers Amelia and Lola.

Available on Limited Yellow / Clear Colour-In-Colour Vinyl! 🤩

Her sound remains vast and yearning, with gut-punch drums pushing through explosions of colored powder; her voice is a chrome-plated sigh, and her agile melodies soar effortlessly. - Pitchfork *BEST NEW MUSIC*

she achieves some serious cinematic grandeur. - Stereogum

Simply too sublimely crafted to ignore. - Consequence of Sound

A catchy ethereal piece of pop - Brooklyn Vegan

Rose’s layered, reverb-laden vocals hit like waves of sunlight, warming her lines almost to the point of wordlessness. - Paste Magazine

New Carlton Melton album “Reason Beings” is out next Friday!!!!

Available on Limited ‘Crystal Clear’ Vinyl & CD from all good record shops!!!

It’s been a good couple of years since the West Coast space/s**e travellers have dropped new music. ‘Phantomize beyond the window, into the portal, the panes of eternal returns, wooden spirals, roots into the realms of everything and nothing, the reason beings’ With Anthony Taibi fully ensconsed in the metaphorical Melton Dome, this four piece is ready to soar, go deeper and wider into the s**e psyche!!

Carlton Melton masterfully blend hypnotic, long-form psychedelic jams with drone and Krautrock influences.

Mastered by the inimitable John Mcbain in 2026. We have a 40+ mins album spanning 4 tracks, that have textures, and waves and patterns to lull you into some fever dream of motorik psych! Touchstones like Träd, Gräs Och Stenar / Kandodo / Guru Guru / Eno & Fripp / Birds of Maya / Parson Sound come into view.

Repress of Rude Films’ debut self-titled album is out tomorrow!! On limited Clockwork Orange coloured vinyl from all good record shops!!!

Straddling the boundary between discordance and serenity, Rude Films contrast light and dark to craft alt rock that is foreboding yet hopeful. Immediate, massive and with plenty of noise to back them up, we’ve not been this excited about a new band from Manchester in a while!
