Cubzoa, the solo project from Jack Wolter of Penelope Isles, today announces his debut solo album Unfold In The Sky due out 24th October via Bella Union and available to pre-order here. The album sees Jack fearlessly deep diving into a hook-lined, colour-saturated and sensation-soaked era. Imagine the one-man sonic universe of Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, laden with the electronic textures of Rival Consoles, then throw yourself headfirst into the waves of England’s South Coast, and you’re somewhere along the right lines. To accompany the announcement Cubzoa has shared lead single “Choke”, an expansive three-minute slice of summery dream-pop, lifted by retro string synths, in which Jack attempts to process the end of a ten-year relationship. The second verse of the song is beautifully sung by Nanna Schannong from Cubzoa’s labelmates Lowly.

My Precious Bunny is Lily of Penelope Isles new project. Jack says of it: With her debut coming out next year on Bella Union my lil sister, Lily, crafts undeniably beautiful songs: scenes of youth, love, and heartbreak, stitched together with toy synths, distorted acoustic guitar, and four-part harmonies. Built by a 7-piece rock band - MPB’s sound is sooo beautiful, yet Mega and will no defffo be a firm fixture in the Uk music scene next year! Search the internet for some demos.

Few artists work from as broad and eclectic a platform as James Yorkston. Growing up in the village of Kingsbarns in Fife, James has been releasing a series of much acclaimed albums on Domino Records since 2002. James’ break came a year previously, after he sent a demo cassette to folk-rock legend John Martyn asking for a support slot on the Edinburgh date of John’s upcoming tour, only for John to hear the cassette and offer James all 31 dates of the tour.

James was an integral original member of the much lauded and hugely influential Fence Collective (King Creosote, Pictish Trail, KT Tunstall, Beta Band etc) and his style shows a mastery of folk traditions, often drawing on traditional songs, which has seen him collaborate with such heritage artists as the Waterson family, Martin Carthy and the late Bert Jansch, whilst producing his own albums alongside contemporary artists such as Four Tet, Rustin Man, David Wrench and Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip).

In James Yorkston’s new album he focuses on the things that matter to him; these are songs about family, love and parenthood. He writes gentle, tender melodies that soar and swoop in equal measure and he is accompanied by two of Sweden’s most recognisable female vocalists.

Tender and heart-breaking yet overwhelmingly life-affirming, Songs for Nina and Johanna is a vital addition to the James Yorkston catalogue.

**Support from Victoria Port:** Victoria’s sound epitomises today’s British Neo-Soul aesthetic; a generous and warm helping of vintage symphonic Soul with sprinkles of modernism - akin to Ronson-era Amy Winehouse, and to contemporary artists such as SAULT and Jungle. Gilles Peterson recently featured her live on air, and has tipped her as “an exciting emerging new artist”.

Pushing the boundaries of live electronic performance from behind a drum kit, FROST uses fractured polyrhythms, displaced beats, and glitched loops to blend electronica, post-rock, minimalism, and jazz, merging the synthetic with the organic.

The event will debut a newly designed live show crossing into the realm of installation - lighting and moving images will be synchronised and reactive to the performance, creating a fully immersive environment.

Curated by FROST, the night also features opening sets from Xylitol and Benji Jeffrey.

“Two artists I have known for a long time and hold in the highest regard. Benji I have known from various art/music scenes in South London, have always loved all aspects of his varied creative output, but seeing him recently conduct an entire orchestra whilst singing lead vocals on a song named ‘bcc’ made me realise he simply HAD to open the show!

I connected to Catherine (Xylitol) shortly after the lockdown-era once live shows returned. I was instantly a huge fan of her work, the chopped-up rapid rhythms mixed with raw synths really resonated with me.'

Xylitol is the electronic music project of DJ, broadcaster and writer Catherine Backhouse. As DJ Bunnyhausen she was resident DJ at the seminal London Krautrock club Kosmische, and she is a lifelong fan of jungle and hardcore.

Benji Jeffrey is an artist, musician and fool who makes performances integrating sounds with silliness and sometimes profundity.
