Ella Langley, Dandelion
The pop-country songwriter understands the human weight of the American South’s emotionally rich tableau of high-speed heartbreak and low-light bars, as demonstrated on a resilient second album.
Sugar Horse, Not a Sound in Heaven
On their cleanest-sounding record yet, the doomy Bristol band’s idea of dance music feels perfectly suitable for the turbulent year 2026 has already proven to be.
Lime Garden, Maybe Not Tonight
The cocktail of frustration, insecurity, and lust that courses through the Brighton quartet’s buzzing and adventurous second album mirrors the trajectory of an energetic night out.
