Fishrider Records recommends:
Some Kind Of Eden
by Dear Time's Waste
Everything Claire Duncan does as the ever-morphing Dear Time's Waste has been remarkable - melodic, unsettling dream-pop with a novelist's eye for detail.

This EP from Fazerdaze (Amelia Murray) is unfussy DIY indie-pop perfection. Part pure melodic pop, part beautiful weary existential sigh with a hint of early Jesus & Mary Chain, fuzz & reverb tamed.

Mother Of Gloom
by Emily Fairlight
A glorious album of dark alternative country-folk. Fairlight’s ageless voice simultaneously beautiful and terrifying, possessed of a resonant vibrato and smooth and tough as weathered teak.
