‘Aderyn Llwyd’ is a translation of ‘The Sparrow’, the song by
Gallagher & Lyle. The original was performed for the first time by Mary
Hopkin on one of her early records. This is a version in Ifan Dafydd’s
unique style, with Thallo’s
incredible voice enunciating each word with tenderness and passion.
Sonny Winnebago -
Lemonade
“I was walking to my job as a barista one sunny
day in North London, and saw some little go-getters selling lemonade outside
their house. I thought that was really cool and reminded me of when I used to
make lemonade from a lemon tree we had in the back garden. Anyway, I had a
charity shop acoustic that I kept upstairs at work & I wrote the song on my
break that day. Some songs take weeks, months and even years to write, but
Lemonade only took a few hours. I think that's how you know it's a good tune -
just totally uninhibited, like the song was already in me somewhere, or in the
air that day!“

Along with other South London-based artists, the band’s anti-folk sound helped
shape the South London scene, without which bands such as Fat White Family, Goat
Girl, Peeping Drexels and countless others would not have the same platform to
perform that they now have today.

Danish artist Martin Schacke's Клуб Навсегда (Kisloty Forever)
EP was made during a two-week residency at the Kisloty complex. Sampling
Russian pop songs, the 12-inch is a loving tribute to a club that meant a lot to
many, and a brilliant melding of Copenhagen fast techno and
pop. It captures dance music's potential to be ridiculous but meaningful.
Y La Bamba - Mariposa

Y La Bamba has been many things, but at the heart of it is

Collective - Peradam
"Peradam takes as its entry
point René Daumal’s early 1930s novel Mount Analogue: a Novel of Symbolically
Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing, in which the French
writer, critic and poet mapped a metaphysical journey to “the ultimate symbolic
mountain” in search of meaning. In it, Daumal introduced the idea of the
“peradam”, a rare, crystalline stone – harbouring profound truths – that is
only visible to seekers on a true spiritual path.
Peradam arrives as “the final stone”,
says Soundwalk Collective’s Stephan Crasneanscki, in The Perfect Vision, a
triptych of albums that evoke and explore the sainted spaces of thought and
creativity opened by three French writers. After albums devoted to Antonin
Artaud (The Peyote Dance) and Arthur Rimbaud (Mummer Love), Peradam expands on
“the living space”, says Smith, that Daumal left for future seekers to enter
and create out of."

dumama + kechou,
nobuhle ashanti, Odwa Bongo - for madala
buffering juju, the title of dumama + kechou’s
debut album, relates to the process of “excavating spiritually charged content
from within”.
the duo’s textural sound, driven by cyclical
song structures and chant making, not only captures the angst of the modern
world but mines this state of affairs for regenerative potential. their
approach to music is a coalescence of their respective individual journeys into
the self and society, making their sound – described as nomadic future folk
music - the sonic result of an organic meditative process.
dumama + kechou met in cape town in 2017. it was
a time of intense socio-political upheaval in South Africa, coming off the back
of student-led protests for free education and the wider societal striations
those protests exposed. this period coincided with individual spiritual breakthroughs
for the duo, signified by fruitful study and mentorship projects.
Planningtorock - From
Tallinn with Love (Chanel Show Version)
"A collaboration between Planningtorock
and Chanel sound director Michel Gaubert, the songs found on PlanningtoChanel
soundtracked the legendary Parisian fashion house’s Autumn-Winter 2020 show
earlier this year. “I always felt that Jam incorporates operatic and cinematic
elements to their unique sound,” Gaubert explains. “The Chanel show was inspired
by French cinema from the 70’s and 80’s and Planningtorock blessed the show
with their sound and gave birth to PlanningtoChanel.”
Bo Ningen &
Bobby Gillespie - Minimal
"'Minimal'
is the first-ever ‘properly produced’ track—as well as the most catchy song—in
Bo Ningen’s thirteen year history. After crossing the world line guided by
Andrew Innes and Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream, the anthemic element of a
new sound was extracted and finalised by producer/electronic musician Matthew Herbert."

Ak'chamel, The
Giver Of Illness - The Funeral of a Woman Whose Soul is Trapped in the Sun
First vinyl release of Ak'chamel after a prolific
cassette discography, The Totemist marks a new direction for the mysterious
group. Equipped with studio quality recordings and a (somewhat) lighter tone,
opposed to the oppressively lo-fi sound the group is known for.
This is a deep psychedelic-folk album with hints
of mysticism, some of which was written and recorded in a ghost-town in the
Chihuahuan Desert in far West Texas - a place where the dead outnumber the
living. Various overdubs and field recordings were captured in the historic
Terlingua cemetery : an ancient burial ground filled with small grottoes and
graves made of sticks and stones. This being the final resting place for miners
who succumbed from illnesses derived from the toxic rare-earth element known as
mercury.
Ak’chamel, The Giver of Illness are fourth world
post-colonial cultural cannibalists circumcising the foreskin of enlightenment.
Performing in homemade costumes and masks, they have played festivals in
various cities around the U.S gaining international attention from Vice, The
Wire, Tiny Mix Tapes, Consequence of Sound, and many more. Enter the fourth

After the celestial adventures of Mr Ben and
the Bens’ previous issue, band-leader Ben Hall finds all the magic he needs on
earth with his new album. On 2019’s Who Knows Jenny Jones?, Hall plotted the
story of a young, shy Pitsmoor woman who returned from an alien encounter newly
armed with serious disco-dancing know-how. Released through Bella Union on July
10th 2020, Life Drawing looks closer to home – Sheffield and thereabouts – for
12 brightly plaintive, character-driven vignettes, set to warm, acoustic,
indie-folk-pop backdrops after its predecessor’s close encounters of the
synth-driven kind.
