Rozi Plain
What A Boost
"Dinked edition" is on 'glow in the dark' vinyl, packaged in an alternative glow in the dark screen-printed cover, numbered and signed, /300. Indies exclusive LP is on 'glow in the dark' vinyl. LPs include a download code. The new full length album from Rozi Plain. Crafted, minimalist and delightful indie-folk tunes. The ten track album was self-produced with the help of a long list of musical friends including Kate Stables, Jamie Whitby Coles, Neil Smith (all This is the Kit), Chris Cohen, Joel Wästberg (Sir Was) and Sam Amidon. Rozi Plain has been making music since her brother taught her a few chords on the guitar aged 13. Raised in Winchester, she spent a few years studying art and painting boats in Bristol, where she began collaborating with long-term friends Kate Stables (This Is The Kit) and Rachael Dadd among many others on a thriving local scene. It was there that Rozi made her first two albums, 2008’s Inside Over Here and 2012’s Joined Sometimes Unjoined, each works of deliciously sad and beautiful pop full of heart-wrenching harmonies dotted with unexpected instrumental flourishes. Released in April 2015 on Lost Map and featuring contributions from Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor among others her last album Friend was a deeply meaningful and wonderfully measured ode to memory, place, companionship and music’s remarkable power as an emotional salve. A companion album of remixes, unreleased tracks and radio sessions, Friend Of A Friend, was released in 2016.

Polica
Give You the Ghost
Drawing elements from Portishead, Bon Iver, Fleetwood Mac, and Eurythmics, Polica is a group featuring chanteuse Channy Caselle from Roma di Luna, Ryan Olson of Gayngs, Vampire Hands guitarist Chris Bierden, and drummers (that's right, there are two) Drew Christopherson from Digitata and Ben Ivascu from STNNNG.
"Amongster" opens with buzzing, reverberated guitar leads, over which Caselle's ghostly, layered vocals hover like a mist. An Auto-Tune modification makes it sound like she's singing behind a whirring fan in "I See My Mother"—here you can really notice the finesse of two drummers playing over dub-inspired bass and an electric guitar approximating a synthesizer with help from an electronic bow. "Violent Games" plays with more menacing tones. Dark drumming patterns give chase to a driving, distorted bass line, while Caselle croons through a slew of gurgling effects. The standout tune "The Maker" gives Caselle more room to stretch out and exercise her dynamic vocal range, though "Wandering Star" is the jam that could make Polica famous.

HALEY
Pleasureland
Indies exclusive LP is on 'white with red splatter' coloured vinyl.
Pleasureland is the newest work from Canadian-born artist Haley McCallum, known professionally as Haley Bonar for the past 15 years. In 2017, she changed her surname to reflect her maternal family name, now performing under the name HALEY. Stark, minimalist, and melodically entrancing, Pleasureland stands in a class entirely of its own, forging new but not unfamiliar ground for the Minnesota-based artist HALEY.
Mixed by Shuta Shinoda (Anna Meredith, Ghostpoet), McCallum’s production shines through in a new light. Sparsely interlacing the organic and digital, Pleasureland moves through the gamut of grief, perception, and empowerment, eliciting both the uneasiness of a world shifting unexpectedly as well as the innate capacity for goodness and beauty. Here, McCallum displays her long time mastery of simple and haunting melodies that remain with the listener long after, replacing explanation through words with a pallet of sonic exploration wrapped up into just twenty-seven minutes.
