Album Review: Fickle Friends – You Are Someone Else
Among the cache of rising young artists bringing wistful indie pop out of the 1980s and into the late 2010s (Shura, MUNA, and more) stand Brighton quintet Fickle Friends.

Exeposé Music’s Best Albums of 2017: #20-11
20. Marika Hackman I’m Not Your Man Bold, sharp, and cuttingly honest, second album I’m Not Your Man sees Hackman move away from the outwardly folkier sounds of We Slept At Last and towards something truly her own.

Album Review: The Big Moon – Love in the 4th Dimension
Everyone had that phase in their teenage years where they decided they were cool, moody and wanted to be Avril Lavigne or Green Day with the black eyeliner and heavy fringes. Although The Big Moon aren’t perhaps quite heavy fringe people (as that definitely is not ‘cool’ anymore), they are undoubtedly one of those bands […]
