After the glorious achievement  of producing two epic modern classics in ‘Seventeen’ and ‘Like We Used To’ Sharon Van Etten’s last album was more understated, hazy and, for me, a little bit of a let down overall. After regrouping Sharon decided to try something new for this project – working collaboratively with her band on the songwriting and vision for the first time.

On this, her fourth album, Sophie Allison, aka Soccer Mommy, writes candidly and beautifully about life and everything woven into it. Evergreen is a tender, gentle record that wonderfully relates to Allison’s earliest work. Allison’s writing is strong and shines brighter than ever. The songs are complex and attack the senses with a warm hug and a sharp wit.

Bristol-based Bottlemoth shimmer and shine on their glorious debut album, Even Us Ghosts. Having changed their name from Bridges to Bottlemoth after a band member left, their socials were hacked and tagged in photos of Bridges (helpful, I’m sure). A new focus and drive were born, and this wonderful collection of songs proves this being the correct move. Even Us Ghosts is a wonderful exploration of life and all the intricate emotions and details that can get woven within it.

When we were first introduced to Suki Waterhouse over a decade ago, we knew her mainly as a leggy catwalk beauty. But after the critical success of her 2022 debut record, I Can’t Let Go, the indie princess knew she had more music to make. Fresh off a star turn in the Emmy-winning limited series Daisy Jones and the Six, and after opening for Taylor Swift on the record-breaking Eras Tour, Waterhouse is ready to release her sophomore effort, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, next month.
