You could certainly be forgiven for thinking that as a secondary teaser – following on from the previously unveiled ‘Stay Here‘ – for oOoOO‘s forthcoming debut album Without Your Love, ‘Mouchette‘ is a strange choice. Undoubtedly one of the record’s more brooding, evocative pieces, …
While Without Your Love, the debut full-length from San Francisco’s Christopher Dexter Greenspan under the alias of oOoOO, may not feel a million miles away from the witch house movement that initially brought the producer to wider attention in 2009/10, it certainly feels like a step in a …
With Alabama’s Waxahatchee – the brainchild of former P.S. Eliot member, Katie Crutchfield – finding herself striving towards greater acclaim on a daily basis and sharing stages across Europe with the likes of Tegan and Sara, we asked Katherine, Waxahatchee’s touring bassist, to put together a playlist of the …
On Cerulean Salt, her second full-length under the Waxahatchee moniker, Alabama native Katie Crutchfield both expands on the warm sonic tapestry of her lo-fi debut, American Weekend, and maintains a sense of intimacy that feels paramount to her music.

After all, though Cerulean Salt…

Rounding out our week-long love-in with Aus Music and Simple Records leader, and DJ extraordinaire, Will Saul, we asked the much lauded producer to take us on a musical tour of his life to date. From his formative years in rural Somerset, growing up on a diet of Paul …
Will Saul is perhaps most famous for setting up Aus Music and Simple Records, producing some ravishing remixes – such as his brilliant recent re-imagining of Little Dragon‘s ‘Crystalfilm‘ – and manning the decks everywhere from London to Australia. But now under his new alias, Close, …
