SAM MORTON cover 1980's cult classic | Do your ears a favour and take a listen to this gem
SAM MORTON, the musical duo comprised of singer, songwriter and acclaimed actor and director Samantha Morton and music producer and co-songwriter Richard Russell, reveal their first new music since the release of their acclaimed debut album Daffodils & Dirt earlier this year. Released today via XL Recordings, new single ‘Never Understand’ sees the pair putting their own unique twist on Ibrahim Hesnawi’s 1980’s cult classic; a drum-heavy, melancholic dub-inspired rendition that acts as an experimental tribute to the “The Libyan Father of Reggae”
New Albums & EPs Out Now
ARTHUR AHBEZ and band release rock and roll album! | Turn on, tune in, and drop out, Ahbez style!
Today sees the release of the long-awaited rock and roll triumph Arthur Ahbez & The Flaming Ahbez. Arthur’s third album expands past his lo-fi acid folk roots into a masterfully woven audio amoeba of late 60s-influenced rock and roll ballads, sautéed in a lovingly nurtured protoplasm and mashed through some vintage microphones. Arthur Ahbez & The Flaming Ahbez’ captures the raw, unfiltered essence of their live performances while exploring new uncharted territories of the Ahbez sound. Arthur’s quest for sonic enlightenment and his desire to represent unbridled creative copulation undoubtedly leaves its mark on each of the 10 tracks, leading listeners through psychedelia, blues, rock and roll, and acid folk, culminating in a grand cowboy tale reminiscent of western heroes The Sons of the Pioneers.
FAT FREDDY'S DROP release SLO MO on digital platforms | Get ready for the summer tour

Usually we take the stage to the studio and this time, we’re excited about taking our studio creation on to the stage”.
