Alternative / Indie

It’s only been just over a year since Father John released his highly divisive “Pure Comedy”. Whilst some fans loved to brutal honesty and political satire, a lot of listeners felt the album to be too cynical and bloated. “God’s Favourite Customer” brings back everyone we love about Josh Tillman. Humour, subtle cynicism and beautifully

Courtney Barnett is one of the most exciting songwriters in indie-rock right now, and this is only her second solo studio album! (Along side a great collab with Kurt Vile). Her authenticity really shines through on her latest album “Tell Me How You Really Feel”.

There’s no doubt that Beach House albums are best enjoyed through headphones. “7” has so much sonic depth that it takes multiple listens to really absorb everything. Just like the album art implies, this is a musical collage of sound that will take you to a new dimension.

Danish post-punk outfit sound more vibrant than ever on their 4th album ‘Beyondless’. These youngsters have built up a cult status since their angst-ridden debut, but ‘Beyondless’ has a mature & experimental feel without losing any of the energy that gained them such attention. FFO Wire, Television, Fugazi.

One of the most underrated bands in indie-rock right now return with their follow up to 2015’s “Painted Shut”. This band turned heads with their summery/feel good songwriting, honest/introspective lyrics and some of the most impressive vocal performances of the year. This is a must hear!

Fifth album from New York art-rock project fronted by Damon McMahon. “Freedom”, released again on Sacred Bones, might be the projects best work to date. There’s a feeling of euphoria throughout the album that is almost reminiscent of 90’s indie-rock and pop.

Debut album from indie rockers The Magic Gang. Fans of The Maccabees, Bombay Bicycle Club, Sundara Karma will dig this!

Scottish trio Young Fathers don’t rigidly fit in to any genre. They fuse elements of electronica, trip-hop and even indie rock. ‘Cocoa Sugar’ is another great piece of work from this exciting crew.

‘Clean’ is the fantastic debut album from young bedroom pop singer/songwriter Sophie Allison… and it’s absolutely beautiful! Subtle, pretty and at times blunt, this album has some of 2018’s best songs already.

Highly anticipated debut album from international psychadelic pop crew. These guys have the knack for writing a catchy pop hit whilst maintaining their quirky characteristics.

Third album from London post-punk trio Shopping. The sharp twangy guitars, driving bass lines and almost disco drum beats will get you boogying in the same way The B52’s and Devo did!

Jeff Rosenstock has a knack for capturing the anxieties and worries that run throughout the US right now. He does so with a classic fist pumping power-pop delivery with raw punk attitude. Fans of Car Seat Headrest should definitely hear this!
