Makaya McCraven
Makaya McCraven, who has been aptly called a “cultural synthesizer” and “beat scientist,” has a unique gift for collapsing space, destroying borders and blending past, present, and future into poly-textural arrangements of post-genre, jazz-rooted 21st-century folk music. Profiled in the New York Times, Vice, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, the Guardian, and NPR, among other publications, Makaya and the music he makes today is what Passion of Weiss says “is part of a necessary conversation about the next evolution of the Black improvised music known colloquially as ‘jazz.’ He’s found the threads connecting the past with the present, and is either wrapping them with new colors and textures, or he’s plucking them gleefully like the strings of a grand instrument.”

Victoria Canal
Rising talent Victoria Canal today recently released her new EP Elegy via Parlophone / Elektra Records. Comprising of recent single ‘swan song’, hailed by Coldplay’s Chris Martin as “one of the best songs ever written”, ‘own me’ and ‘pity season’, the EP’s final track ‘driving your car’ is out now to listen to. Elegy is a collection of deeply heartfelt tracks that work through stages of grief, hurt and acceptance in Canal’s gorgeously effortless songwriting style. Recent highlights include a performance on Jools Holland as well as playing a lead role on Apple TV+’s Little America.

Flora HibberdPerhaps it’s the geographical variance that has found its way into Flora Hibberd’s first full-length studio album that makes her sound so unmistakable. Born in England but currently living in Paris, ‘Swirl’ (2025) was recorded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and therefore combines many stylistic elements into an impressive sound vocabulary that Hibberd knows how to play with. As if she had absorbed entire encyclopaedias of pop, rock, and folk music, her compositions are sublime and varied, displaying compositional maturity and a special knack for the right instrumentation in balanced arrangements. Producer Shane Leonard is responsible for them and was able to engage drummer JT Bates (Bon Iver, Taylor Swift) and pedal steel guitarist Ben Lester (Sufjan Stevens) for the album. The result is an accomplished combo that knows how to bring out every nuance of Hibberd’s stylistic repertoire, be it cosmopolitan jazz-pop, swinging rock jams, or melancholic indie folk with reminiscences of Elliott Smith and Nick Drake. A timeless debut that she will be presenting live on stage with us.

Gordi“Being surrounded by death made me think about how beautiful life is…. I thought about all the ways we are like plasticine in life – how forces we can’t control, contort us into shapes, stretch us thin, and test our resilience. But sometimes, heart-wrenching change can be a thing of beauty.”
On her third album, singer-songwriter and producer Gordi – aka Sophie Payten – reflects on the last few transformative years of her life. From coming out as queer and having to adjust the vision of her future, to working as a doctor on the frontline during the pandemic, Gordi explores the beauty, heartbreak and finite nature of human experience across 12 new songs.
There’s the effervescent, euphoric pop of ‘Peripheral Lover’, the drama and intrigue of the fractured, experimental ‘Alien Cowboy’, the pain and anguish of songs like ‘PVC Divide’ and more tender moments like the absolute gift of ‘Lunch At Dune’.
