Week nine, our biggest for '22 announcements yet. What, dear reader, are you most excited about?
Big Sea Change related announcements from Gwenno and Chilly, plus our boy Morbs' and a couple of Dinked Editions that we're very proud of.
Gwenno
Tresor
Heavenly Recordings
Tresor (Treasure) is Gwenno Saunders’ third full length solo album and the second almost entirely in Cornish (Kernewek). We're very excited about this one!
Kevin Morby
This Is A Photograph
Dead Oceans
There's always a sense of timelessness to Morby's work, like you are listening to one of the best records from the 1970s for the first time.
+ We have a limited Gold colour vinyl pressing that includes an exclusive signed photograph.

A Bit of Previous is the tenth studio album by Belle and Sebastian and their first full-length in seven years.

The Stroppies
Levity
Tough Love
A shimmering new LP from the Melbourne jangle pop supergroup. We're very excited about this one.
Weird Nightmare
Weird Nightmare
Sub Pop
The debut album from METZ guitarist and vocalist Alex Edkins. Such a banger, propulsive fuzz, love it.

Fault Lines
Tin Angel
Dinked Edition 180. So deeply dark, this is one of the most engaging albums of the year already.

Bella Union
Fully vibing new LP from the iconic Ural Thomas (who in his time has opened for no less than Otis Redding and James Brown). The voice is so pure.
