The first British folk singer to crack the UK pop charts, Donovan made the Top 5 with his first single, Catch The Wind, early in 1965. By the end of that year the ‘British Bob Dylan’ had scored two more hit singles, two hit albums and a hit EP. As flower-power blossomed, so did Donovan as songs like Mellow Yellow, Sunshine Superman, Hurdy Gurdy Man and Barabajagal soaked up rock and jazz embellishments.He stepped off the merry-go-round in the early 70s before it turned into a treadmill, and recorded and toured intermittently. After the Happy Mondays sponsored his revival in…

French-Cuban twin duo Ibeyi open a new chapter with Offerings, the title track from their forthcoming album Offering, due June 26. The single moves as a love song after damage: not romantic surrender, but the harder kind. Letting go. Choosing yourself first. Pulling the emotional weight back into your own hands.Following Aset, the title track moves the album’s spiritual arc from devotion, sacrifice, and imbalance toward release, tracing a shift from searching for answers to letting expectations fall away. That idea came into sharper focus during the making of the album, when the goddess Yemayá appeared to Lisa-Kaindé in a…

Manchester, UK four-piece Gloria return in explosive form with “End of the Race (YEH)”. They burst onto the scene with their self-titled debut track back in 2019 and, since then, they’ve still been able to capture plenty of people’s ears with every single release that has gone by…. a high-octane, psychedelic-tinged indie rock blast that hooks hard and never lets go.The new cut has a wonderfully long intro that then kicks you in the face with a burst of guitars around the 30-second mark. It’s got some great depth to it, with some psychedelic textures and even drumming patterns that…

When Does This Place Become Our Scene, the new album from Oslo-based trio Hammok, is the sound of musicians in lockdown, paying no mind to having to play these songs live at some point, but focusing instead on creating feral, interesting music in their own corner of the world, while, as the album’s title suggests, looking for connection with the wider community. There are positives and negatives from this way of working. The good thing is that Semi-Automatic Machines, BANG and Thirst possess the blistering urgency of a fire in a room with no doors. The downside, however, is that…

Guitar-based pop, done skilfully, with words reflecting life’s imperfections.Teddy Thompson, the son of British folk icons Richard and Linda Thompson, was born in the UK but now lives in Brooklyn. This is his tenth self-penned studio album, coming after Heartbreaker Please in 2020. Since then, he has done an album of classic country duets with Jenni Muldaur and his own album of country covers. However, Never Be The Same moves away from these, being guitar-based pop, or perhaps you could call it soft-rock. This is done well, with the tracks having good melodies and choruses. Thompson shows his talent as…
