You Are A Metaphor from the album The Long Goodbye Saint Marie Records (May 2014)You need only close your eyes for the latest from The Capsules to transport you onto a single cloud in an otherwise clear blue sky, and on what is a miraculously worthy follow-up to their stunning fourth album, the journey is once again guaranteed to be idyllic.

anchor & the butterfly
White and Grey from the album Nothing To Win Nothing To Lose Ghost Gum Records (March 2014)A truly exquisite display of refined, musically-articulate emotion, the debut album from anchor & the butterfly is an extraordinary collection of elegant, dignified songs that, with their apparent acceptance of the human condition, slowly burn a single tear-shaped hole in your ageing heart.

Arctic Tern
The Break & The Fall from the EP Hopeful Heart Self Released (May 2014)Bearing a noteworthy resemblance to a stripped-back Matchbox 20, the sophomore EP from Belfast’s Arctic Tern is a predominately gentle, invariably captivating affair that thrives on the emotional intensity stirred by the consummate confluence of its keys, strings and vocals.

Ayla Nereo
Show Yourself from the album Hollow Bone Self Released (March 2014)Showcasing an unmistakable kinship with the natural world, Ayla Nero’s latest album marries folky simplicity with mystically-inspired experimentation, ultimately sounding as if it were written and recorded after a life-affirming week split between the company of forest faeries and a percussion-happy tribe living to the beat of nature’s drum.

Joseph
Tally Marks from the album Native Dreamer Kin Self Released (March 2014)Driven forward by knockout sisterly harmonies, the debut album from Portland trio Joseph could almost have been written a-hundred-and-fifty years ago, its collection of impeccably built, humanly and spiritually aware songs returning the listener to a simpler, less cluttered world.

Calvin Lamothe
Chile from the EP Ten Tundra Self Released (April 2014)With its wonderfully magisterial vocals and honest, carefully considered treatment of the memories, hopes and dreams that inspired its existence, Ten Tundra is a prodigious work that radiates with honour, respect and self-awareness.

a million creatures
Fugitives from the EP Fugitives Self Released (April 2014)A supreme storytelling effort, Fugitives’ sorrowful, sentimental tales are perfect fodder for the soothing voice of Molly Murphy, which delivers with a natural longing and regret that becomes firmly lodged in the trenches of your consciousness.

Seth Paul Macchi
Bitter Root from the EP The Valley S & S Creative (April 2014)A brooding darkness rolls through much of Seth Paul Macchi’s The Valley, a claustrophobic melancholy that remains present even when the lyrics suggest a more positive outlook; the self-torment eminently relatable and like a beacon to the listener, as a flame is to the moth.

Kathryn Joseph
The Bird from the album Bones You Have Thrown Me and Blood I've Spilled Self Released (January 2014)The debut album from Kathryn Joseph, 'Bones You Have Thrown Me and Blood I've Spilled' takes the listener to a bleak Scottish homestead in the middle of nowhere, and after reaching for a blanket to stave off the cold, said listener will likely sit utterly still, transfixed by the haunting vocals and bare-bones production
