New Releases
Raveloe, Notes and Dreams EP, Olive Grove, out now. The new musical project of Kim Grant, formerly of Glasgow band Tongue Trap. Raveloe’s home-recorded debut EP is both sweet and foreboding, giving Kim a creative outlet for the anxieties and frustrations of lockdown.
Glassworks, Willow Tree EP, self-released, out now. Emilie Boyd and Dan Brown met in the Glasgow jazz scene and while their piano-and-vocal duo project is a stripped back affair, that improvisational playfulness shines through on their debut EP.
The Snuts, W.L., Parlophone, out now. Hotly anticipated debut album from the Whitburn rockers. Watch the Somebody Loves You video, shot in conjunction with the Scottish Refugee Council, if you need something to make you smile.
Josephine Sillars, Desperate Characters EP, self-released, March 26. Freed from her Manic Pixie Dreams alter ego, the Highlands-born, Leeds-based songwriter gets both personal and political on her first EP under her own name.
Pictish Trail, Dream Wall EP, Lost Map, April 1. Built around an out-take from last year’s electropsych-pop masterpiece Thumb World, Pictish Trail’s latest EP is a grab-bag of covers and remixes by acts on his Isle of Eigg-based record label.
Roseanne Reid, Horticulture EP, Last Man, April 10. Affecting, bare-bones Americana from Roseanne, eldest daughter of Craig Reid from The Proclaimers. This album just goes to show how she has gained such high-profile fans including Steve Earle and Teddy Thompson, who she’ll be opening for in early 2022.
