‘Vienna - the city with probably the most beautiful name. The sound alone is music.’ - Andreas Dorau

Reason enough to dedicate an entire album to the Austrian capital. The idea for this came about when Dorau and two friends were working on a map of Lübeck and exploring its untold stories away from the usual attractions. Dorau became fascinated with portraying a city from the perspective of an unbiased tourist, visitor and outsider.

The Loft notched up an impressive list of firsts for Creation Records’ artists back in the mid-80s. First Creation band on TV, first to hit the top of the indie singles chart, first to be invited on to a major UK tour and first Creation band to record a coveted BBC radio session - for Janice Long’s Radio One show in 1984. Then they split up. 39 years after the bitter break-up, the band got back together and it seemed to be time to record their debut album.

The album is available for preorder on CD, Vinyl and Deluxe Vinyl Version. Out on March 14, 2025!

Of all the independent record labels of the 1980s, él was the most singular and exciting. él only existed for a few short years and yet paradoxically - given its modest commercial success - was hugely influential. For writer Jonathan Coe, one of the label’s many devotees, él was ‘Britain's great musical secret’.

Trust Fund, the musical project of singer-songwriter Ellis Jones, comes back with his fifth album Has It Been A While?, recorded earlier this year in Sheffield by producer and close friend Joe Mackenzie Todd.

For Jones, the key challenge of the record was creating something that felt both comfortable and challenging: “I think it’s an ambitious record –but it’s quietly ambitious. I wanted to make something that explored a specific aesthetic, but that might still be diverse and engaging across thirty-five minutes. Creating the string arrangements took me totally out of my comfort zone – I don’t read music – and I’m very proud that I’ve produced something that was more or less what I had in mind. I have a lot more time for good musicianship, when it’s applied well, and the idea of self-improvement.”

The album is available on CD, Vinly and also digitally on your favourite streaming platform. Get your physical copy of the album HERE

It all started out in a barn outside of Gothenburg in 2004. An acoustic guitar, piano and female vocals - focusing on the often overlooked qualities when it comes to expressing inequalities in metal lyrics. Both swedish and international media started taking notice which led to rotation on radio/tv shows and intense international touring followed.

Hellsongsmade a name for themselves through their unique covers but the latest album shows their song writing qualities as well. Always in the service of society – always with an angry fist raised for solidarity, love and equality.

'The Return of the Hellsingers' available for purchase (CD, Vinyl, ltd. pink Vinyl) and streaming.Check it out!

LEVIN GOES LIGHTLY's new album ‘Numb’ is now yours.
From the depths of post-punk, cold wave and dancefloor, Levin Goes Lightly is back with a new album: ‘Numb’ is the title of his fifth longplayer, which has just been released. Levin Goes Lightly tells of toxic relationships, dark periods in life and great love in his characteristic weird images. The melodic vocals alternate between German and English, while the musical framework consists of driving electronic beats, cool synthesisers, warm organ tones and wavy guitar parts.

There is also the new single ‘Allein’. A hymn to being alone. Levin'a most personal song on the album so far.

‘Numb’ is available on CD, Vinyl and digital. Get your physical copy of the album HERE

On 11 October 2024, the debut album of one of the most successful indie pop bands of the noughties will be released to mark its 20th anniversary: ANAJO - ‘Nah bei mir’. 

‘Nah bei mir’ is a thoroughly light record that sometimes deals with weighty themes with catchy sounds and melodies but always presented with a smug smile on their lips.

We‘re so excited to announce that the Berlin-based duo Die Anteile released their first single ‘Volksmund’ today! 

The 'Volksmund' is half open. Sitting on the dark fringes of Germany, in wood-panelled corner pubs, his foot taps to electronic body music. He turns up his nose to disguise the fact that he suddenly doesn't like synth-pop too much. The 'Volksmund' makes his house of cards collapse, he dreams of leaving and yet asks himself, thoughtfully tugging at his collar: Is it better somewhere else?

Now available digitally on your favourite streaming platform.
