SMOKE FAIRIES
Smoke Fairies is a particularly apt name for this pair of Jack White-signed guitar ladies. An allusion to the mist that collects on Sussex hedgerows, it perfectly encapsulates the ethereality of their work….

OUR BROKEN GARDEN
Like the golden sea that names Our Broken Garden’s new album, their music is wide and deep, beautiful and mysterious, its thermal currents inviting you to dive in but with the potential to drag you under.
Golden Sea is a substantial step forward for the band – there’s more drama and rhythm this time around as if the golden sea was more restless and darker than its colour suggests. Grace and dread combine stunningly and seamlessly on Golden Sea as the members of Our Broken Garden lure the listener into their heady cocoon. (Bella Union)

I’M AN ACTIVE CHILD
ACTIVE CHILD is the new project from choirboy-turned-indie pop musician Pat Grossi. His debut collection of songs features the skilled use of various 80s-tinged synths to create ethereal, soaring soundscapes, punctuated by crisp electronic drum samples and handclaps. All of this lays the groundwork for Grossi’s exquisite vocals, which, with their unearthly sound and evocative lyrics, take on an enchanting, hymnal quality that would not be out of place amongst the richly colored sunlight of a church’s stained-glass interior.

ZOLA JESUS . A NEW SIOUXSIE ?
Zola Jesus is the endeavor of a solitary girl named Nika Roza Danilova to simultaneously combat and invoke the approaching apocalypse using the only weapon/offering she has; her voice. After a decade of opera study and a musical awakening involving such varied inspiration as Billboard bubblegum, classical aria’s, no-wave, and avant industrial, she was able to thread her influences into a sound uniquely her own.Born and raised in the countryside of mid-western USA (Wisconsin), Nika Roza was literally raised by wolves (well proximally anyways). Beginning her musical output at the age of 16, she released: two 7″s, an EP, a live recording from WNYU, and a split with neighboring Madison head-trip, Burial Hex, on Sacred Bones, Troubleman, Die Stasi, and Aurora Borealis respectively. It was her debut full length for Sacred Bones last summer, however, that suddenly grew Zola Jesus’ profile exponentially. Her video for “Clay Bodies” directed by Jacqueline Castel, debuted on Pitchfork and The Spoils made dozens of yearend
lists including: The Wire, Pitchfork, and The Fader.Her latest EP Stridulum is a huge leap forward in terms of fidelity andaccessibility. Recording her vocals for the first time with professional
equipment, Nika’s voice is brought to the powerful forefront of the mix
unleashing the full range of emotions that had only been hinted at in her previous work. No longer just the doomsday soothsayer, Nika refines her soulful psalms creating pop songs that are as equally nurturing as they are foreboding. The Guardian, NME and the BBC are already signing her praises and we are delighted for Nika to finally have a proper European release this fall on Souterrain Transmissions. Stridulum II will be a full length and contain three previously unreleased tracks that thematically expound on the EP. Zola Jesus
and her band will be touring the UK opening several dates for Fever Ray and doing a full European tour in Sept immediately following those shows.Listen the tracks: Night and Sea Talk . (rcrdlbl.com )
