Squid

Teeming with melodic epiphanies and layered sounds, Squid’s second album O Monolith is a musical evocation of environment, domesticity and self-made folklore. Like its predecessor, 2021’s critically acclaimed, UK number 4 album Bright Green Field, it is dense and tricksy – but also more warm and characterful, with a meandering, questioning nature. This is unmistakably music made by friends, but it’s not exclusionary – they’re inviting you in to listen with them.

Moor Mother

ow do you engage the stunning, evocative, haunting gift that is Moor Mother’s latest album The Great Bailout? Only by following the trail of verbal and sonic poetry delivered. Only by letting Moor Mother and her co-conspiring collaborators – Lonnie Holley, Mary Lattimore, Alya Al Sultani, Kyle Kidd and more - “people who have their own path of positivity and connectedness,” be the tour guide.

Coming out on March 8, The Great Bailout is Moor Mother aka Camae Ayewa’s ninth studio album and third with ANTI- Records. Called “the poet laureate of the apocalypse,” by Pitchfork, Ayewa’s music contains multitudes of instruments, voices and cacophony that take on themes of Afrofuturism and collective memory with the forebearers of jazz, hip hop and beat poetry in mind.

So: Come! Come look! Come see! Come hear! Come see London, come see Liverpool, for the first time even if it for the millionth. Know its provenance, know its haunting. Clear the mist over your eyes and heart as if the famous London Fog has been cleared by the clarion call of Moor Mother. For this is what The Great Bailout is: a call to knowing through a sonic scene that is unafraid to look a violent legacy in the eye.

“Research is a major part of my work, and researching history - particularly African history, philosophy and time - is a major interest,” Moor Mother explained. “Europe and Africa have a very intimate and brutal relationship throughout time. I’m interested in exploring that relationship of colonialism and liberation, in this case in Great Britain.”

zzzahara

Plenty of people come to Los Angeles looking to make their California dreams a reality. But zzzahara has always been here, turning reality into a dream. Born and raised in Highland Park, where they still reside, zzzahara (the solo moniker of ex-Eyedress/Simps guitarist Zahara Jaime) has witnessed both gang-blighted and gentrified L.A. along the same geographical blocks. Like the transforming city itself, zzzahara has undergone massive personal changes, their characteristic stoicism giving way to a newfound sense of purpose. Liminal Spaces, their debut LP from Lex Records, explores a life hanging in the balance between memory and possibility over frenetic Johnny Marr-esque guitar jangle.

Evolving stylistically, maturing emotionally, and yet still attached to a past scorched by trauma and old flames, zzzahara brings pop sensibility and hi-fi quality to Liminal Spaces that makes their work appealing to anyone and everyone: young and old; straight and queer; introverts and extroverts; the hardened L.A. locals and the daydreaming transplants.

Water Damage

Drones are a powerful force, capable of whisking our thinking mind far, far, away. Austin-based collective Water Damage yields the same power whenever they pick up their instruments. Veterans from other projects (a.o. Spray Paint, Black Eyes, Swans, USA/Mexico, More Eaze and more), the band is not unfamiliar with the unshakeable power of music; still, as Water Damage, they stretch out drone’s possibilities to their limits, bowing to the principle ‘Maximal Repetition Minimal Deviation’. Once an idea takes off, they pursue it forever; as Pitchfork said, their 2024 double LP ‘In E’ doubles as a “glorious mind eraser”.

Roomer

Roomer is a Berlin-based band that weaves noise, melody, and memory into guitar-driven songs that blur the line between emotional immediacy and sonic experimentation. Formed by three accomplished solo artists and long-time collaborators, the band brings together distinct voices from across Europe’s avant-garde, folk, and electronic scenes. Debut album Leaving It All to Chance captures the haunting power of their live shows, pairing diaristic lyrics with spectral textures and sudden bursts of catharsis.

The Gnomes

The Gnomes (fka Gnome) is a four-piece rock band from Frankston, Australia, known for their tight sound, classic songwriting, and energetic live shows. Originally a solo project, The Gnomes has grown into a louder, sharper outfit with a full band lineup and a harder edge. Taking influence from The Kinks, The Easybeats, and The Lemon Twigs, The Gnomes blends catchy melodies with driving beats, mixing the spirit of the ’60s with a fresh edge. Their sound pulls from Merseybeat, power pop, and vintage rock ’n’ roll, with a modern feel that’s punchy and direct. The Gnomes early recordings leaned into lo-fi indie and slowcore, but now as a band their recent works mark a clear shift toward a more energetic, Rock'n'Roll guitar-driven approach. Their shows are full of energy, heart, and a little bit of chaos. With a growing list of gigs under their belt and a more focused sound, The Gnomes are carving out a space in Melbourne’s rock scene, one punchy set at a time.
