New single ‘Leb Off’ is a dark vision of austerity in post War times against softly strummed psychedelia. Sided with ‘Brocadine’ it brings a measured, almost-medieval Pentangling, magical serenade of guitar virtuosity.

Infamous purveyors of longform stoner rock, Bardo Pond embrace their sludgestorms with graceful nods to Hawkwind, Earth and My Bloody Valentine. For anyone uninitiated with the band’s tranquilizing sound, 'Volume 9' leans into their mesmeric practise with reckless abandon.

Following reissue of the year in 2022 with 'It's A Shame About Ray' The Lemonheads land again on Rough Trade's top 3 Best Reissues Of The Year with the 30th Anniversary Edition of 'Come On Feel'

Out today, new single and title track, 'Focus On Nature' reveals multi-layered guitars underpin a dream-like rumination on the natural world and its mysterious ways, the chorus harmonies building into an exhilarating symphonic climax. Seventy-five minutes of glorious melodies that span 60s psych, English folk, Seattle art-punks The Wipers, the buzzsaw pop of Dinosaur Jr and Hendrix-esque explorations with an element of playful Englishness to their music.

RVG's 'Brain Worms', Vanishing Twin's 'Afternoon X', Kristin Hersh's 'Clear Pond Road' and THALA's 'In Theory Depression' have landed on Rough Trade's selection of Best Albums Of The Year!
