Reviewed Stella Donnelly's exquisite new album "Love And Fortune " for Under the Radar
"The sound of an artist coming to terms with impermanence and imperfection, and ultimately finding beauty and hope in what remains. "

Stella Donnelly released a new album, "Love and Fortune," last Friday. Here's Andy Von Pip's (@andyvonpip.bsky.social) review of it.
"Its instrumentation is measured, leaving space for Donnelly’s voice to move between fragility and resolve."

It was a real pleasure to chat with Ellie & Joff from one of my favourite bands of the past decade and a half, WolfAlice for @undertheradar.bsky.social
I’ve watched them grow from playing in tiny venues to now preparing for a full-blown arena tour.

Track Of The Week - Sofia Isella - “Out In The Garden”
It’s been a strong week for single releases, but at the top of the pile is US artist Sofia Isella.
Lots of strong releases over the past seven days, but @sofiaisella.bsky.social SOFIA ISELLA’s "Out In The Garden" is our track of the week. Darkly cinematic, menacing, and unpredictable, she’s a truly brilliant young artist.

listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social and hearing Farage breathlessly gushing over his friendship with JD Vance and excusing Putin and Trump is not only stomach churning , but also leads me to believe he’s rapidly turning into a 21st century Lord Haw-Haw
