With debut album Helpless, Danish singer-songwriter Frederik Damhus introduces the wider world of Torrent Sound, a dreamy folk-pop project that finds plenty of room between intimate songwriting and atmospheric production. Across the record, acoustic guitar, harmonica and Damhus’ warm, textured vocals sit alongside synths, saxophone and organic instrumentation, creating a sound that can feel both close and expansive. There’s a thoughtful, understated quality to the album, with

With 'Bric-a-Brac attack', Plain Mister Smith continues to carve out a distinctive space where indie-folk, alternative songwriting and richly textured musicianship intersect. Released via Amelia Records, the sophomore album reflects the Vancouver- and London-based artist’s eclectic background, bringing together an instinct for melody and storytelling with the kind of considered musicianship that comes naturally to a multi-instrumentalist. A former guitarist for Canadian darkw

Sometimes a song arrives like a big emotional speech, and sometimes it simply sits beside you and says, “Hey, you’re doing alright.” Simao Imani’s Jeune Enfant belongs firmly in the second category. The Swiss artist blends neo-soul, indie folk, alternative R&B and jazz-inspired touches into a warm, comforting track about growing, healing and reconnecting with who we used to be. Clocking in at just over three minutes, Jeune Enfant proves that a song does not need to be loud to

There's something refreshingly genuine about Songs of Noah Villeneuve. The debut solo album from Canadian-born, Bristol-bred, London-based artist Noah Villeneuve is a beautifully realised collection that embraces vulnerability while delivering some wonderfully melodic indie songwriting. Arriving after several years away from releasing music, it represents both a personal milestone and an exciting artistic evolution. Across ten carefully sequenced tracks, Villeneuve explores t

There is a refined confidence woven throughout What Do You Take Me For, the latest offering from Harry Hudson Taylor. Free from unnecessary embellishment, the song embraces subtlety as its greatest strength, allowing its emotional depth to emerge with quiet conviction. Harry's self produced approach serves the material exceptionally well. The arrangement is spacious and considered, balancing folk influences with contemporary indie sensibilities while maintaining a sense of in

Brian Elodi has unveiled his debut album, a 13-track release developed over years of private songwriting and later shaped into a collaborative studio project with producer Ben. Originally intended as a personal collection for his daughter, the album has now been brought into the public sphere as a cohesive artistic statement. Spanning 49 minutes and 33 seconds, the record brings together songs written across multiple phases of Elodi’s life. Tracks such as “Honestly,” “Hurrica

At a time when authenticity has become one of the most valuable currencies in contemporary music, Will Hanco's 'Storm Before The Calm' arrives as a compelling example of an independent artist fully stepping into his creative identity. The six-track EP sees the Brighton-based songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist take complete ownership of his craft, delivering a project that feels both deeply personal and strategically assured. Built entirely under Hanco's creative

London-born folk artist Seth Tabatznik returns with his sophomore album, 'Awakening Embers', anchored by the stirring focus track ‘Pacha Mama’, released via Moth Music (Mother Of The Heart). Having only begun releasing music in 2024, Seth has already made a remarkable impression on the indie folk scene, garnering support from CLASH Magazine and EARMILK, while amassing over 200,000 streams across platforms.

Sean Maljanian’s SunSkip returns with “Sincerely,” a single that subtly flexes his growth without feeling forced. If his previous EP, Smoke and Mirrors , thrived on quiet introspection, this latest offering opens up, embracing movement, texture, and an understated alt-country momentum. There’s still intimacy at its core, but moments of looseness and joy make it clear: SunSkip isn’t reinventing himself for the sake of it—he’s evolving on his own terms. “Sincerely” tells the st

There’s a quiet courage in Seth Tabatznik’s music, a willingness to sit with life’s fragility and still find light in the cracks. On his latest single, “Choose To Be Alive,” the London-born, South Africa-based folk artist continues to shape a sound that feels both timeless and deeply human. Released via his imprint Moth Music (Mother Of The Heart), the track is less an act of performance and more a moment of presence, a song that unfolds like a conversation with the soul. Bui
