Oswald Slain - Bucky.

Bristol rock group Oswald Slain are excited to share that their debut album ‘Bucky’ will be released on October 24th 2025 to limited edition vinyl, with the title track being the final single ahead of the album. This is a superb collection of songs with some previously shared singles included below, all of which bode well for this exciting and clearly talented band.

Background is as follows: Born from the creative cocoon of their home studio, Oswald Slain is a testament to both personal growth and musical evolution, their music reflecting a period of deep introspection and growth for the band. Having reconciled with the chaos of youth and the trials of aging, lyricist Fitz channels these experiences into sincere, humorous, evocative songwriting alongside the timeless swagger of old retro rock records.

Their debut album ‘Bucky’ was recorded and produced in-house by Ryan Rogers (Mumble Tide) and the band themselves in their DIY self-built home studio, mixed by John Logan and mastered by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering (PJ Harvey, XTC, Big Special).  For Fitzgerald and Williams, partners in life as well as music, their debut record is more than a curated collection of songs, it’s a love-letter to their trials and errors, their self and musical exploration and perfectly highlights the band’s striking evolution from their previous moniker. Throughout the album’s eight tracks Oswald Slain combine sleazy rhythms, driving drums, nostalgic guitar lines and the evocative lyricism they’re fast becoming known for, to celebrate their personal flaws, flamboyant failures and ultimately sees them finding self-acceptance.

Reflecting on the creation of the album, Fitzgerald says: “Making this record was a massive turning point in our lives. After being a bit unsure of where things were headed and what we were doing, the days spent recording these songs in our little studio were the moments of clarity we needed to get the ball rolling with something new and creatively exciting.

Talk To Her – Dyve.

Italian post-punk band Talk To Her have recently announced the release of their second album 'Pleasure Loss Desire' on 30th October via Shyrec/Icy Cold Records. This week, they share their new track 'Dyve'. Representing one of the album's most intense moments, the title is derived from the fusion of 'Dive' and 'Dying.' These recurring words encapsulate the song's theme of dependence, surrender, and self-loss. The track's structure exudes strong tension, showcasing a sharp duality between the calm yet tormented verses and the explosive choruses.
 
Talk To Her use heavily distorted guitars over synth sounds to convey a mix of vulnerability and energy. 'Dyve' is a plunge into the depths, a burst of force that challenges the balance between desire, self-loss and the need to let go. 'Dyve' comes after the first single 'PLD', a track built on dark, obsessive synths, tribal drumming, sharp bass, deep baritone vocals, and guitar textures. 
 
The album traces a descent into a cold world where clarity and oblivion endlessly alternate in search of balance, oscillating between moments of calm and emotional outbursts, exploring the duality between detachment and alienation. Each track unveils contrasting emotions—desire, suffering, nostalgia, hope, fear— painting a raw portrait of the fragilities of those who live in an era marked by uncertainty and changes. With 'Pleasure Loss Desire', Talk To Her explore new soundscapes compared to their previous record “Love Will Come Again”. The themes once tied to the emotional and passionate sphere give way to alienation, suffering, and fear.

Cedarsmoke - Something Over Nothing,

Like sunlight spilling over shadows, Cedarsmoke’s new single ‘Something Over Nothing’ finds joy and melancholy moving hand in hand. Out yesterday (Friday, October 10), it offers the final glimpse of their forthcoming album 'Under The Rainbow' (October 31). 

A Brisbane/Meanjin band long admired for their lyric-driven approach and genre-bending sound, Cedarsmoke continue to evolve with every release. Since their 2016 debut, they have moved restlessly between folk, rock, country, and psychedelia, always with singer-songwriter Jon Cloumassis’s storytelling at the centre. Their upcoming third full-length album embraces this adventurous streak fully, with each track tied to a colour and a theme, creating a record that is as expansive as it is intimate.

With 'Something Over Nothing', Cedarsmoke frames life’s extremes as essential, suggesting it is better to embrace the turbulence of joy and sorrow than to settle for stillness. Upbeat and energetic yet tinged with an undercurrent of sadness, it recalls a kind of indie rock where poetic storytelling and ragged honesty sit side by side, turning introspection into something vital and alive.

In keeping with the album’s colour-coded theme, the track shines in yellow, symbolising vitality, excitement and adventure. Its imagery draws on the rising and setting of the sun as a reflection of life’s cycle, casting the song as both a celebration of sweet beginnings and an acceptance of sour endings.

The Bros. Landreth - Knuckles.

Winnipeg duo The Bros. Landreth release “Knuckles” from their forthcoming album Dog Ear – out November 14, 2025 via Birthday Cake Records. “Knuckles” features a beautiful and emotive featured vocal from one of the band's musical heroes, Bonnie Raitt. 

The Bros. Landreth grew up listening to and adoring Raitt's music in their childhood home. The artists initially connected after sharing a bill at the Winnipeg Folk Festival and some ten years later Raitt recorded her own version of one of their songs called "Made Up Mind." That version won a Grammy for Best Americana Performance in 2023. It feels like a full circle moment to have her iconic voice now on The Bros. Landreth's new album.

Dave Landreth says of the song, “Some relationships will stand the test of time, but a lot don’t. Even the good ones can dissolve, fall apart, drift away. Knuckles is about the idea that sometimes being a punching bag is the last kind thing you can do for someone, when it’s easier to let yourself take all the lumps than to ask the other person to face things that they aren’t ready or willing to.”

Dog Ear explores themes of connection, refuge, and self-reflection with guests like Raitt (“Knuckles”, “Half Moon Eyes”) and alt-pop powerhouse Begonia (“Strange Dear”) offering listeners an intimate yet expansive journey. The album is fueled and informed by the band’s live shows and the many hours they’ve logged sharing the stage together. That is the energy they tried to bottle.“These songs kept circling back to ideas of refuge—a lighthouse, a shoreline, a dog-eared page to hold your place,” The Bros. share. “They’re tiny prayers for who we want to be for our children, and hopeful ideas about who they might become for their own communities.”

Megan Bee - Fiction (Album).

Megan Bee’s new album Fiction features ten original songs of slowing down, softness, and enjoying the sweetness of life.  Known for lyrics that evoke a sense of place, these new songs carry that tradition of Bee’s unique way to make her settings come to life from spring pushing up from the ground in “Sweeter Things” to fireflies dancing in the trees in “Waiting”.  The album spans a myriad of themes from sensual intimacy in a song about making a quilt, to yearning for creativity to make the world a better place, and to the heartbreak of losing a friend to suicide.

What sets this album apart from Bee’s previous work sonically is the sheer expressive closeness of her vocals combined with a production that leans over the edge of the Folk/Americana genre and dips its toe into an Arthouse sound at times.  The album features Bee not only on acoustic guitar, but also piano and wurlitzer.  Guest musicians range from longtime Athens collaborators like John Borchard on pedal steel to surprisingly supple additions of Kate Wakefield on cello (Lung), Chris Justice on bass (Local Honeys), and Ammed Solomon on drums (Mountain Stage).

The album was produced by Eddie Ashworth at The Oxide Shed in Athens, Ohio.  A Southern California native, Ashworth brings his years of experience engineering chart-toppers and multi-platinum albums in L.A. in the 1990s to the production of Fiction.  Ashworth handles these minimalist yet rich songs with an ingenious ear while letting the emotive vocals and lyrical depth be the main focus of the album.

Sturle Dagsland - Dreams And Conjurations (Album).

Back in January 2021 we featured Sturle Dagsland on Beehive Candy. We were very short of help at that time and so, just copied and pasted the promo info we received (yep we were amateur) such was our desire to share the music. I can in all honesty say that their music blew me away! On their sophomore album The Norwegian duo continue to weave the rich musical tapestry that their 2021 debut showcased, combining elements of Norwegian folk, electronica, metal, experimental pop and a wild mixture of different vocal techniques. Once again this is really creative, at times outstanding, even blissful and worth listening to in full. Beehive Candy are mightily impressed.

With a wild and unique performance Sturle captivates the audience and takes the listeners on an adventurous journey. Together with his brother they have toured extensively at festivals all across the world, from Shanghai to New York, Greenland and all the way to the Source of the Nile in Africa. The two brothers conjure an expressive ever-changing soundscape with a distinctive sonic palette and an uncompromising whirlwind of sound. 

Dominated by Sturle`s astonishing voice their sound evolves from the ethereal and beautiful to wild and abrasive in a matter of seconds. Expect the unexpected and lean into a musical odyssey that conjures sounds of the netherworlds and intertwines old primordial knowledge with screaming metal, folk music and immersive soundscapes. The project’s distinctive sonic palette has found the band perform not only at prestigious international festivals, but also alongside the likes of Big Thief in US and Oranssi Pazuzu in Europe.

Eve Goodman and SERA - Natur (Album).
 
North Wales based singer-songwriters Eve Goodman and SERA share their long-awaited collaborative Welsh album 'Natur', a hymn of love to the cyclical element of women and nature. Ranging from a whimsical sea shanty about a Menai Strait mermaid to an evocative acapella spell-song; from a love song inspired by a moth, to an ode to emotions and the weather, this is a meaningful and creative folk songbook. The album is a rich and varied journey from percussive, hooky ear-worms about burnout and modern life (Anian), to expansive and moving Celtic blessings that sing of reverence for the land (Bendith). 

Eve Goodman and SERA (Sarah Zyborska) began working together when they were both selected as BBC Horizons Artists in 2019. Both women, with rising solo careers, grew up in Caernarfon, North Wales. After just one writing session they found common ground in their connection to and curiosity around nature. Surrounded by the beautiful North Wales landscape that is such an important part of their lives, they began to explore the Welsh names for birds, trees, flowers and the more-than-human world. The song tendrils soon grew to touch upon the cyclical element of both nature and women. Soon enough a body of work was growing, each song a celebration of both. Natur was born. 

“We both loved the Spell Songs project (ft. Julie Fowlis, Karine Polwart et al) and the way the songs serve as a call to reawaken our love of the wild. We approached our songwriting with this call in mind in the language of our land, Welsh. As one of the lines in our song Anian says ‘I cofio ein natur, edrychwn ar natur’ (to remember our nature, we look to nature). It’s about accepting our wild nature in an increasingly complex and digitalised landscape.”

The album was recorded in Wild End Studio near Llanrwst, North Wales, nestled in the foothills, with co-producer Colin Bass (member of Camel and also producer of the Tincian album from 9 Bach which won ‘Best Album’ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award in 2015).

Ivan Moult - I Should Have Asked Your Name.

Following on from Did You Think That I Was Lost?, the next glimpse of Ivan Moult’s upcoming album, Stood Out in The Storm, is 'I Should Have Asked Your Name'.

Ivan explains: “A song exploring instant attraction and missed opportunity, resolving with love finding a way to wait for us and allowing us to meet again. Sonically carried along on a lazy river of electric guitars that burst out at times in solo alongside organ flourishes and light touch drums and bassline.”

Ivan’s signature sound remains at the core: a seamless blend of 1960s/70s folk and blues infused with modern textures, drawing influence from John Martyn, the late great Terry Reid and Ry Cooder. On Stood Out In The Storm, that familiar intimacy is expanded with a greater presence of guitars and organs, adding new depth and urgency to the sound. As with his previous records, Ivan wrote, played, recorded and mixed the album at his Cardiff home studio, and the record sits as a companion piece to Songs From Severn Grove.

Portland - Exactly What I Need.

Portland, the Belgian dreampop outfit fronted by singer-songwriter Jente Pironet, have released their new single ‘Exactly What I Need’. The 3rd song to drop in the run up to the forthcoming album ‘Champain’ sounds like Portland’s most upbeat and joyous affair yet. “I’m gonna scream it all over the streets. This is exactly what I need”, proclaims Pironet backed by energetic drumbeat and shimmering synths. However, its subject matter is darker than its melody suggests.

In 2023, just days after triumphing on the stage of Belgium’s biggest festival Rock Werchter, frontman Jente Pironet was diagnosed with brain cancer. What should have been a year of triumph became a time of struggle, recovery, and self-discovery.

“In hindsight, it’s about exactly what I don’t need”, laughs Pironet, “In that dark period after my cancer diagnosis it felt like life was slipping through my fingers. I clung to escapism: going out to bars and trying to forget. When I feel bad these days, I go out into nature or have a glass of rosé with my grandmother. They’re small things, but it’s comforting to realize that can be enough.”

Portland are one of Belgium’s most compelling indie exports. Blending cinematic pop, melancholic folk, and festival-ready rock, the band first broke through with their 2019 debut ‘Your Colours Will Stain’ and follow-up ‘Departures’ (2023). Known for their delicate harmonies and emotionally charged live shows, Portland has earned praise from European tastemakers and graced stages from Rock Werchter to Eurosonic.

Helen Counts - Unravel.

Helen Counts is an Indie singer/songwriter based in Madison, Wisconsin, US. She began her career singing in cafes in Virginia in the 1990s. She has released an album and numerous singles on streaming since 2021. 

Her songs range from acoustic singer/songwriter to Indie rock style. Her latest Indie rock single ‘Unravel’ was released on October 6, 2025. The single has solid vocals and vivid lyrics that are the cornerstones of her unique sound. 

She works closely with Trystan Matthews, a talented producer in NYC. She hopes her songs have an impact on the listener long after the music ends.


============================================================================

Bau Cat - Silver Bangle.

North Wales trio 'Bau Cat' return with their most vibrant and emotionally charged release to date - “Silver Bangle”, out now on Libertino. A rush of jangling guitars, soaring harmonies and unstoppable energy, “Silver Bangle” is Bau Cat at their most magnetic. Blending Motown girl group sparkle, 70s power-pop punch, and the melodic edge of 90s alt-pop, the track pulses with life, legacy and fierce individuality. It’s a glittering anthem of joy, resilience, and unapologetic self-expression, a song that remembers, resists, and refuses to dim.

What began as a jam built around a hypnotic bassline evolved into a defining moment for the band. “It had this driving ‘Barracuda’ vibe,” says vocalist and bassist Abby Butler. “Then Jim brought in the guitar melody, which inspired the vocal hook: ‘Hand me down a bangle that jangles, wear it on my right side.’ From there, everything just clicked.”

Drawing inspiration from The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las, through the melodic spirit of Big Star, the raw immediacy of The Lemonheads, and a flash of Galaxie 500’s emotional candour, “Silver Bangle” feels both nostalgic and vital. There’s even a glimmer of Paul McCartney’s Ram-era playfulness in the layered vocals and effortless melodic confidence - a track that sparkles on the surface yet cuts deep beneath.


============================================================================

Polartropica and Gilbert Louie Ray - Shiny Things.

We have the new single and music video from Los Angeles-based galactic dream rock artist Polartropica and Americana artist Gilbert Louie Ray.  Called "Shiny Things", the song "was inspired by my father's love for John Denver and his beautiful cinematic melodies I grew up listening to, as well as sweet classic harmonies of the Everly Brothers and surfy electric guitars of Beach Boys." shares Polartropica.  

With banjo and acoustic guitar by Gilbert Louie Ray and electric guitars by Brandon Graham who also engineered and mixed the track, "Shiny Things" is a genre-defying banger. The track details the heart-crushing pain that sometimes happens at the end of falling in love. Polartropica further confides, "This song is about eventually finding it in your heart to learn and grow from all the hard lessons and finally let go with a sense of understanding and acceptance, which is a journey in itself, and coming back home to yourself with love and forgiveness."     

The single is shared alongside a music video that is a swashbuckling adventure of a legendary, toasty pirate of the Salton Sea who gets a parking ticket on her ship. The cinematic video was filmed and directed by Tristan Pelletier on the hottest day of summer in the desert.

Palm Ghosts - Content Providers (single).

Nashville-based indie rock trio Palm Ghosts releases its Content Providers album via Sweet Cheetah Records/Steadfast Records/Poptek Records on October 10. Content Providers is not just an album, it's a howl from the neon gulag of 2025, where rock bands aren’t bands anymore, but social media vending machines doling out dopamine and desperation in equal measure.

Palm Ghosts, ever the beautiful b*tards of post-punk gloom and cinematic pop, have cracked the mirror and are pointing to the ugly thing squirming behind it. These eleven songs don’t whisper or plead; they seethe, spiral, and spit in the face of algorithmic servitude. There’s blood under the fingernails of every chorus. You can hear the band clawing for something real in the white noise of followers, filters, and faux vulnerability. This is a world where authenticity has been weaponized, where the artist is just a dancing bear with a ring light and a Patreon account.

So, Content Providers does what any sane record would do—it loses its mind on tape. There are echoes of Gang of Four wielding a synth like a machete, Joy Division driving a burning Tesla into a lake, and sweet, sweet melodies that feel like postcards from a collapsing civilization written in faux-blood and tears. It’s ironic and earnest, brutal and beautiful.

Rhett Miller - All Over Again.

Rhett Miller releases “All Over Again,” the final single from his tenth solo album A lifetime of riding by night that arrives this Friday, October 10 via ATO Records. Co-written with Nicole Atkins, the tender song of hope and resilience poses the poignant question: What if everybody was there for each other just for a minute? 

About the single, Rhett Miller explains, "Nicole Atkins was the brains and driving force behind ‘All Over Again.’ She challenged me to go with her to a musical place I'd never gone before. We did something that felt big and sweeping and positive in a way we had no idea the world might need a few years later when the song finally found a home on this new record of mine."

Nicole Atkins adds, “I was out on tour with the Old 97’s, it was the first few months of my life being sober on the road and this music and melody came to me. I showed it to Rhett one night and the next day he had all the words and they were so beautiful and positive. Just like Rhett. It’s tough to write a song that’s happy but he always has the perfect lyrical twists that are so natural to him.”

Gwenno - Utopia (Cornelius Remix).

Gwenno shares a dazzling Cornelius remix of “Utopia”, the title track from her new album that was released to universal acclaim via Heavenly Recordings in July. The Japanese producer / musical genius takes the track from Cardiff via Las Vegas and transports it to a starlit, sky high Tokyo piano bar. The result is pure utopian pop heaven - a sweeping orchestral love song to life itself. .

Commenting on the remix Gwenno says: “Cornelius is such a huge musical figure in anyone's life who came of age in the Naughties, and so I was over the moon when he agreed to remix Utopia. He has not only managed to enhance the musicality of the song, but has also added to the hyper real efflorescence that was in the air at the turn of the 21st century, which is what Utopia is all about. I see it as a perfect musical marriage between Las Vegas and Tokyo in the year 2025.”

Cornelius adds: “A few months ago Gwenno contacted me on social media asking if I’d do a remix. I didn’t know her music at the time, but once I listened I realized it was exactly my taste: psychedelic in feel, with production that hints at Krautrock and at Jean-Claude Vannier - Serge Gainsbourg’s arranger. I was also drawn to her natural, clear voice and her Welsh background. I was genuinely happy that an artist making music like that took an interest in what I’m doing all the way over here in Japan, so I gladly accepted. For my version of ‘Utopia’ I aimed for an elegant sound that updates the 1950s exotica of Esquivel and Martin Denny for today. I hope you enjoy it.”

Black Dahlia - The Imposter (Album).

Black Dahlia is an experimental musician and performance artist whose work blurs the boundaries between theatre, sound, and surreal spectacle. Her creations exist in dreamlike spaces where masks, characters, and worlds collide—flamboyant, avant-garde expressions that draw as much from performance art, mime, and surrealism as they do from music itself. Whether inhabiting strange personas on stage or building vast sonic landscapes, Black Dahlia conjures universes that feel both alien and intimately human, inviting her audience to step into the unknown.

Her new album The Imposter (out this week via her own imprint School of Dahlia) is a theatrical concept record that unfolds like a surreal stage play. Written, produced, arranged and performed by Black Dahlia, it follows a lone wanderer, The Imposter, who chases an enigmatic light away from a distant Paradise, only to find himself lost between realms, drifting through an interstellar limbo of time and strange encounters. The Imposter introduces this cosmic odyssey—an otherworldly tale of displacement and identity as the wanderer grapples with his fall from Paradise and the haunting uncertainty of existing between worlds.

Upon landing on Earth, the story continues with “Amphibian Man,” where The Imposter washes ashore in Germany and confronts the bizarre, dazzling reality of humankind. As he adopts new masks and identities in an attempt to belong, his confusion and frustration reach a breaking point, culminating in an explosive metamorphosis that symbolizes both rebellion and rebirth.

White Birches - Breathing.

Back in 2017 we first came across White Birches and were struck at the time by their incredible song construction and the atmosphere they create, so it's a big welcome back to Beehive Candy.  "Breathing" is the first single to be taken of the brand new upcoming album "A New Reign" (Release November 21 2025). 

The track sets the tone for the album with its raw pulse, hypnotic synths, deep bass and intense vocals. Written in the aftermath of loss and upheaval, the song captures both pressure and relief. It is about survival — the simple act of breathing, where one wave of sound inhales and the next exhales.

Fans of Chelsea Wolfe, PJ Harvey and Anna von Hausswolff will recognize the haunting balance between fragility and ferocity.

Fredrik Svabø - Kingo's Treat (Live Album).

Norwegian musician, composer and producer Fredrik Svabø has released the new live album Kingo's Treat - Live at Wembley Arena, recorded while supporting Aurora on tour earlier this year. Watch the live video for 'Sophie' from Wembley Arena here.

Speaking on the live album release, Svabø said: "To me, it feels pretty surreal that we got to play a show at such a legendary venue, especially with this kind of music. The fact it was only our fourth ever show as a band makes it even more special. We ended up delivering such a great performance that I wanted to share it with the world. I’m really excited for people to hear the music in its purest form – played live on stage by musicians in front of an amazing audience, capturing the moment."

On stage, Svabø is joined by a cast of some of Norway's finest jazz musicians including Ola Øverby (drums) Andreas Rukan (bass) and Lyder Øvreås Røed (trumpet) - all members of the cult Oslo neo-soul outfit Fieh. Woven between the immersive instrumentals, are the breezy and poignant vocals of Thea Wang - lending the album both its voice and heart, traversing themes of heartbreak, indecision, and new beginnings.

The studio version of debut album 'Kingo's Treat' is also set to be released on vinyl in the UK for the first time on 17th October, having been released digitally in March of this year. Drawing influence from jazz musicians such as Bill Frisell and Brian Blade, plus taking further cues from the work of Kendrick Lamar, D'Angelo and Blake Mills, 'Kingo's Treat' is an expansive, freewheeling album that unspools itself into loose moments of improvisation before snapping into shape with tight melodies and enduring hooks.


============================================================================

Fïx8:Sëd8 - Octagram (Album).

Behold the "Octagram"! For FÏX8:SËD8 the number 8 is more than just another digit. When the 8 just turns by a little in the context of the German electro industrial project's sixth album, it becomes the symbol for infinity.

Infinity and the promise of eternal life also constitute one of the main tools instrumentalised by institutionalised religions to control their followers, which is one of the lyrical themes present on "Octagram".

The number 8 is also reflected in the structure of the album, which consists of 8 songs with a playing-time of 8 minutes. The new songs break out from the classic verse and chorus formula. Freshly introduced odd time signatures and polyrhythmic experiments add to the overall progressive feel this creates. 

No worries, "Octagram" features all the signature elements and sounds that define FÏX8:SËD8: The album is as playful, complex, and melodic as its predecessors. The drums push even a bit harder than before, while the vocals are even more diverse on "Octagram". Vocal samples consist mainly of recitations quoting the last words of persons that were about to receive the death sentence.

Lone Valentine - Keep Us Company / Wanderin'.

Lone Valentine (Jedediah Taylor) is a genre-fluid singer/songwriter from the American Midwest, conjuring music ranging from raucous rock and roll bangers to emotive and adventurous alternative folk. 

While primarily a guitarist and vocalist, Lone Valentine plays with diverse acoustic instrumentation - from cello and piano to crystal glasses and handcrafted music boxes - bringing a timelessness that has both warm familiarity and mysterious singularity. 

Unafraid to be both deeply personal and unflinchingly silly, no topic or approach is off limits in the romantically imaginative world of Lone Valentine.

Jedediah is also a tenured member of Chicago based indie-Americana band, Wild Earp (both iterations: & The Free For Alls, & The OK Chorale), an Ameripolitan Music Award-winning group (2023) recently appearing in the FX series Justified: City Primeval and whose music is featured on a current United Airlines ad.
