jacob collier – the light for days
release: 5th december 2025
available on vinyl / cd
following the kaleidoscopic ambition of djesse vol. 4, jacob returns with the light for days – a stripped-back, emotionally resonant body of work that is reflective of the quiet core of his artistry. recorded in just four days in the very room where his career first took flight, the light for days trades scale for intimacy, spotlighting jacob’s unmistakable voice and a deepening relationship with the guitar. the result is a collection of originals and handpicked covers that feel immediate, heartfelt, and timeless. this is jacob at his most direct and vulnerable – a sonic counterpart to the moments in his live shows when everything falls away and it is just jacob and his chosen instrument.

idles – caught stealing
release: 19th december 2025
available on white vinyl / cd
idles and acclaimed director darren aronofsky quickly formed a creative kinship, united by a deep mutual respect for each other’s work. when aronofsky began developing his latest film, caught stealing (starring austin butler and zoë kravitz) he turned to idles, his favourite band, to shape the film’s sonic identity. drawing inspiration from the gritty energy of the 1990’s new york punk scene that permeates the film, idles contributed four original tracks, a striking cover of police & thieves, and recorded the full film score, composed by rob simonsen.

melody’s echo chamber – unclouded
release: 5th december 2025
available on vinyl / cd
On her fourth album, Unclouded, Melody’s Echo Chamber embarks on a life-affirming new chapter with an album that celebrates the present moment, whatever state we find ourselves in. There’s a continuity that runs through Melody’s Echo Chamber’s brand of psychedelic pop going back to 2012’s self-titled debut but now comes a perfectly executed shaking up of personnel. Unclouded’s impressive cast includes Swedish maestro Sven Wunder, who co-produced the record and contributed to the writing, bringing his unique sonic palette to the richly-textured canvas; Josefin Runsteen on strings, who brings her avant-garde smarts to the tableau; Dina Ögon’s Daniel Ögen on guitar and Love Orsan on bass who Melody describes as “masters of the velvet groove”; British drummer Malcolm Catto, collaborator with Madlib and DJ Shadow, and the powerhouse behind The Heliocentrics; and frequent collaborator Reine Fiske whose guitar parts can be heard throughout the record.
