Kelly Lee Owens – Dreamstate

Kelly Lee Owens’ fourth album, Dreamstate, marks a bold shift into big-room electronic music, blending trance, pulsing synths, and psychedelic elements. Released under George Daniel’s dh2 imprint, the album features collaborations with The Chemical Brothers, Bicep, and Daniel, while maintaining Owens’ signature intimacy.

Bon Iver – SABLE, EP

Sable, the second EP by Bon Iver, was written between 2020 and 2023 and features three core songs produced by Justin Vernon and Jim-E Stack at Vernon’s April Base studio in Wisconson. The EP reflects on themes of loneliness, disappointment, and self-reflection, with stripped-down arrangements that highlight Vernon’s voice and evocative songwriting. Tracks like ‘S P E Y S I D E’ showcase his emotional depth, while ‘AWARDS SEASON’ hints at resilience and renewal. As a result, Sable, distills Bon Iver’s evolving sound, balancing maturity with the raw, transcendent elements of Vernon’s earlier work.

Standout Songs: ‘THING BEHIND THING BEHIND THINGS,’ and ‘S P E Y S I D E.’

Porridge Radio – Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me

Porridge Radio’s Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me reflects frontwoman Dana Margolin’s journey through burnout, heartbreak, and self-reflection. After a busy 2022, Dana took time to recharge, creating new music while exploring poetry, painting, and solo performances. The album, recorded with producer Dom Monks in early 2024, captures the band’s emotional intensity with live, intimate sessions. Themes of love, identity, and loss are woven throughout tracks like ‘Anybody’ and ‘God Of Everything Else.’ This album marks a creative breakthrough for the band, showcasing their growth and deepening collaboration.

Standout Songs: ‘A Hole In The Ground,’ and ‘You Will Come Home.’
