Band: WHOLES
Album: A MASS IN THE WATER.

The LP is an intense and raw reflection of grief, trauma, and the desire for healing.

‘A Mass In The Water’ roughly describes the last day of Wolf Vanwymeersch‘s father,
who took his own life during a psychotic episode. The album balances between
mockery, anger, powerlessness, grief, understanding, compassion, and love.

TUTV: It’s a both scary and flabbergasting opus that takes a lot of courage to make and share with the world. The album’s ominous dynamics, distorted vocals, and riff-roasting razzmatazz resonate like if you are listening to the soundtrack of a modern-day horror movie.

Vanwymeersch and Wholes created their own Dante’s Inferno.
Bloodcurdling, pitch-black, and bone-chilling. Helter-skelter.

Band: THE BELAIR LIP BOMBS
Who: Swirling indies from
Montreal, Canada.

Album: AGAIN
Their 2nd one.

TUTV: Just one spin and I knew this LP was a winner. Ace tune, after ace tune, after
ace tune. Guitar pop at its most move ‘n groove exciting. In the middle, vocalist and
guitarist Maisie Everett draws all attention. Wonderful voice, striking performance.
And she’s backed by a well-oiled rockin’ engine. Trust me, these Aussies are going
places, very soon.

Artist: HEAD ON STONE
Who: The solo project of Belgian songstress
Nele Janssen, frontwoman of post-punk turbo
Peuk.

Album: STONY BEDS Debut LP

TUTV: Nele Janssen bewitches with her crystalline voice and enchanting piano play. Intimate, passional and heartfelt. From a Peuk scream to a solo whisper. A beautiful,
soul-stirring record that silences you from start to finish.

Eleven bittersweet reveries for the midnight hours. Stony Beds is an ideal companion
for cold winter nights, while relaxing with dimmed light on your couch and your favourite drink at hand.

Band: PICTURE PARLOUR
Who: Amplified pop duo, featuring Liverpool’s songstress
Katherine Parlour and North Yorkshire-born bassist Ella Risi.

Album: THE PARLOUR
Their debut.

TUTV: PP offer sinewy pieces of a high rock-punk-and-blues calibre,
all delivered with lots of gusto and bold brio. They fuzz and buzz
throughout the whole record. 40 minutes of barbed electricity.

Artist: MAVIS STAPLES
Who: Legendary soul/blues/rock voice who, along with family, had a long and
greatly accomplished career under the name of The Staple Singers (1948-1994).
She’s 86 now, singing and swinging like a 36-year-old.

Album: SAD AND BEAUTIFUL WORLD

Produced by Brad Cook, the album spans seven decades of the American songbook,
a range nearly as vast as Mavis’ career, and includes reinventions of timeless songs
by Tom Waits, Sparklehorse, Gillian Welch, Frank Ocean and more.

Cook imagined an album in the tradition of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band‘s Will the Circle Be Unbroken, a group of artists coming together to celebrate community. In this case,
one centered on Mavis. Collaborators include Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Tweedy, Derek Trucks, Katie Crutchfield, MJ Lenderman, and Justin Vernon.
