Madra Salach are a five piece folk band from Dublin. Originally meeting whilst playing in various outfits on the city’s indie scene, their shared love of the Irish traditional canon led to Paul Banks, Adam Cullen, Jack Martin and Dara Duffy quickly forming a bond playing impromptu sessions in pubs around the Northside. Taking inspiration from the growing experimental folk scene in Ireland, Madra Salach began focusing on original writing and composition, utilising electronic equipment. At this time Maxime Arnold joined their ranks to play the harmonium. These songs, while strikingly modern thematically, are written with a voice that could have emerged at any point throughout the last century, and sit proudly alongside a thoughtfully curated collection of folk standards.

You have to get the weight of the town you come from.

Jinx Lennon does this and more for the Irish borderlands . Inspired by unhinged gospel preachers from the movie ‘The apostle’, mind numbing factory workweeks, smug government scheme overseer faces and excruciating embarassment of being a guilt ridden catholic survivor join Jinx through the cracked lens of punk, noise, north east borderland raps, confused taped voices and neanderthal garage rock and you will hear the stories unfold, some which are still being formed as we speak.This year saw the release of Jinx Lennon’s 13th record “The Hate Agents Leer At The Last Isle Of Hope” with the emphasis on the word hope. Now the next chapter unfurls.For any musician you are only as good as your last show and Jinx always plays like the only time that matters is right this minute.

“ Hyperphantasia is: Unhinged, unrestrained, self-indulgent bat-shit pop music from an alternate dimension. A beautiful, synthetic hall of mirrors head rush… Like taking every style I’ve worked with amping them up to 11 and firing them off a cliff” ?- Lone

Enter the kaleidoscopic world of Lone – returning to Greco-Roman for his first album in five years, ‘Hyperphantasia’. An artist who has been soundtracking dancefloors since the early 2000s, Lone (real name Matt Cutler) made his production debut in 2008 with “Lemurian”, a hip-hop inspired release before moving into the vibrant future-facing soundscapes we have come to know.

His back catalogue ranges through house, rave, ambient and electronica, and on ‘Hyperphantasia’, Cutler sets himself the challenge to bring all of those influences together for one body of work that he describes ‘like an album in my mind’.

Referring back to the album title, the definition of hyperphantasia is a condition characterized by exceptionally vivid and detailed mental imagery and for this album he tested himself to see how close he could get the music to sound exactly like what he was hearing in his imagination. ??

On Hyperphantasia, Lone deepens his relationship with vocals. Having previously relied on vocal samples or more abstract live vocal treatments, this latest album marks a shift toward richer, more pop-leaning sensibilities. Cutler makes a clear lyrical statement, enlisting a diverse and carefully chosen cast of collaborators: London-based artists and fellow Greco-Roman affiliates Ell Murphy and Lou Hayter, Barcelona’s breakthrough singer Bikôkô, cult Nottingham rapper Juga-Naut, and Hong Kong-born, London-based musician Merry Lamb Lamb. Together, they contribute to what stands as a career-defining project.

The end result is a cinematic experience exploding full of colour. You are introduced to the album with an old school rave anthem ‘Life Spark’ and an interlude welcoming you into this musical world. Like chapters in a novel, the album ebbs and flows beautifully between stripped-back melodies ‘Opening A Portal’, ‘Photographs That Don’t Exist’, ‘Sickly, Sweetly, Summer Movie’ and ‘Fruit Rots, Water Floats Downstream’, bubbling feel-good house ‘Affinity (Cloud Four Four Mix)’, ‘Triton’ and ‘ Wemove’, the rap-influenced ‘Throw The Ember’ and epic future-pop tracks ‘Miracle Mile’, ‘Big World’, ‘Scattergun’ and ‘Home’. The album ends with a full circle moment, back to the early hardcore and jungle rave scene, on ‘Ascenscion.png’.

Horsebath are a Canadian country band known for rich harmonies, classic songwriting and a sound steeped in vintage Americana. Formed in Vancouver (with members originally from across Western Canada), the group lean into traditional country textures — pedal steel, warm guitars and three-part harmonies — while bringing a fresh, contemporary sensibility to their storytelling. Their music feels timeless rather than revivalist, drawing heavily from ‘60s and ‘70s country and cosmic Americana. Lyrically, Horsebath focus on heartache, distance, longing and the open-road melancholy that defines classic country music. There’s a softness and sincerity to their delivery that gives their songs a worn-in, late-night glow. They’ve built a strong live reputation for tight musicianship and harmonies that feel both loose and deeply locked-in — more road-worn barroom than polished Nashville sheen.
