Manchester’s Maruja release their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Pain to Power’, recorded at Low Four Studio and produced by Samuel W Jones, who the band worked with on the three EPs that preceded their debut full length.

‘Pain to Power’ is an extraordinary body of work that not only confirms Maruja as a creative force of nature but finds a band deeply concerned with the power of community, solidarity and love as forces for social and political change. The album echoes this across its flawless eight tracks, taking the listener from the frustration and anger of openers ‘Bloodsport’ and the BBC 6Music A-listed ‘Look Down On Us’ through to the sublime spirituality of ‘Zaytoun’ and the staggering album closer ‘Reconcile’ - a nine minute opus that builds around Joe Carroll’s transcendent sax, into lyricist, rapper and singer Harry Wilkinson’s impassioned pleas to “pray for love” and “have no fear”.

This cycle of tragedy and hope is at the very heart of ‘Pain to Power’. “It starts off brutal and turns into something powerful and expressive,” says Harry. “We have to trust in that circle of life, and in our power to overcome pain.” The album follows the arc of one of Maruja’s live shows: an onslaught of energy, arriving at a place of transcendence, the music itself rising from the ashes.

The Japanese House (the critically acclaimed project of Amber Bain) is an alternative pop star for the modern age who serves up vulnerable lyrics and down to earth, celestial songs. Her latest, critically acclaimed album, In The End It Always Does, highlights heartbreak and love lost, emotional reflections on childhood trauma and identity, and the album finds the artist embracing her pop side like never before with help from Matty Healy and George Daniel (The 1975), Katie Gavin (MUNA), Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and Charli XCX, among others.

Following a breakout year that comprised sold-out US & UK Headline Tours, a huge run of festivals and supporting dates with Maggie Rogers on her Don’t Forget Me Tour, Amber released her folk-tinged single “:)” (aka Smiley Face). This past fall, she was featured on Charli XCX’s BRAT remix album for a glittery new version of viral track “Apple,” and on Fred again..’s “backseat,” a remix of her own “Sunshine Baby.” The Japanese House’s intimate, unique sound has propelled her to hundreds of millions of streams, performances at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and more, an appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk and major media praise from NPR, The New York Times, Associated Press, Billboard, Rolling Stone, WWD, Playboy, GQ, i-D, The Fader, Pitchfork and more. In The End It Always Does follows her 2020 EP Chewing Cotton Wool and debut Good At Falling (2019).

Kerala Dust was formed in London in 2016. Inspired to make music by spending blurry mornings in nightclubs together, Kerala Dust is where art rock meets innovative electronica and the warm embrace of the dancefloor leaves room for the expansive vistas of Americana, desert blues and twilight drives through a neon-lit city. Kerala Dust has a wonderfully shapeshifting sound; a restless fusion where meaning is found in fragments rather than anything fixed or static. The live experience is massive and energetic, a dynamic exploration of the bands eclectic catalog.

Hailing from the land of compromise in the heart of Europe, the four friends of Stavroz found each other in the east of Flanders. In its inception, IJsbrand De Wilde & Gert Beazar focussed mainly on playing DJ sets and creating music in which they loved colliding worlds. Only a few years later they hooked up with Maxim Helincks & Pieter De Meester to expand their DJ activities to a performing band and continued to try and find an unbeaten path in electronic music. This culminated in their delicately acoustic, organic and cinematic approach to electronic music. As a result they were awarded second place for “best producer” and “best breakthrough artist” in national awards for Belgium’s electronic scene.

Bass Drum of Death is getting back to basics. From the bare-bones title of their sixth record—SIX—to the writing approach—their first two LPs were recorded entirely on GarageBand—the creative process for the group is strikingly similar to the early stages of their career. While the new album marks a return to their original recording method, there are a few notable changes. Instead of working solo on the demos, frontman John Barrett and the band (Jim Barrett, guitar; Ian Kirkpatrick, drums) convened for several sessions in Barrett’s home studio in Nashville to bring the songs to life. Manning the faders was producer Jeremy Ferguson (Cage the Elephant, White Reaper), who then hosted the band for ten snowy days of fine tuning at his Battle Tapes studio. The result is a scuzzy blast of their signature sound, with influences ranging from The Stooges to ZZ Top and very much aided by Ferguson’s deft engineering touch. If SIX sounds like a return to form, the band proves they still have a few tricks in their pockets and things up their sleeves.

Following a precocious few years in music, it feels fitting now for Mann’s debut album to start at the beginning. Named Roxwell after the cherished street of her childhood home, the album is a tender ode to her formative years. An only child to loving parents, she soaked in the world from their house in West London, watching music documentaries with her father, writing songs in her bedroom and performing to her parents in the kitchen. “I’m very sentimental and wanted to pay tribute to that house, which is the closest thing to me. So much of my history is there”, she notes. A gentle and resonant album, Roxwell exudes the warmth and care of that nurturing environment, propelling Mann into the world with a fundamental desire to connect with people.

“Being in love is a very big thing for me”, says Mann. “Within this album, I’ve been in and out of love a few different times. Some of these songs are word-for-word records of what that was like.” Roxwell, then, is a charmed exploration of love from a person eager to understand and feel its presence in her life, charting its course from infatuation to intimacy to dissolution.

Depending on the game, an *Ace* can be the highest or lowest card, zero or infinity. A breakup feels similar—one path crumbles, while all others remain infinitely possible. How do you write about heartbreak when you’re going through it? *Ace*, GRAMMY award-winner Madison Cunningham’s third record for Verve Forecast, tracks every part of it: falling out of love, having your heart broken, and then falling in love again. Co-produced by Cunningham and Robbie Lackritz (Feist, Rilo Kiley, Bahamas, Peach Pit), the fourteen-track album is honest and full of heart, even as it breaks.  
  
*Ace* builds off of the success of *Revealer* (2022), a darkly funny portrait of an artist that won Cunningham her GRAMMY for “Best Folk Album,” but it is a different record. A slow burn until it wasn’t. It follows a period of writer's block. On *Revealer* and her debut album *Who Are You Now* (2019), Cunningham says that she was writing songs about heartbreak, but they weren’t about her heartbreak. They were sketches, observations. Cunningham wanted *Ace* to be emotions first. Heartbreaking and lush and bold.  
  
Cunningham’s first single from *Ace*, “My Full Name,” was released to praise by *PASTE* who calls the lyrics, “simultaneously sprawling and intimate,” recalling “an ancient work of poetry.” On *Ace*, which Cunningham serves as co-producer, she wanted piano to move into the foreground. “I wanted it to feel like a mountain peak,” says Cunningham, “I wanted *Ace* to feel like a mountain we built together.” *Ace* is a record that feels alive and lush in all the ways Cunningham hoped for when she started writing. It is a record of mastery and honesty. Cunningham loves every single song on it. You can tell.
