Steven Wilson has announced details of his forthcoming ninth studio album. Requiem For A Village arrives via Fiction Records on Friday, November 6. A wide array of formats will be available, including digitally, CD, Blu-Ray, 140g two 12" black vinyl, 2x Oxblood 12" vinyl, and a boxset featuring 2 CDs and Blu-Ray disc packaged in a 96 page hardback book box.

If Steven Wilson's acclaimed eighth album, 2025's The Overview, explored the depths, distances, and desolations of deep space, Requiem For A Village narrows its immersive focus to a tiny, unknown corner somewhere off map in the British Isles, a hauntological realm entirely divorced from modernity, where the paintings of Stanley Spencer hang in the local art gallery, the stories of M.R. James and Algernon Blackwood sit on the shelves of the public library, and the Children of the Stones play in the market square. (continue)

New Jersey-born, New York-based singer-songwriter and producer James Ivy announces his headline North American tour with stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, his hometown of NY and more.

The announcement comes on the heels of his debut album The Seams out now via FADER Label. Built from a deliberately restrained palette of guitars, live drums, strings, and a vintage DX7 synthesizer, The Seams embraces imperfection, allowing space, texture, and vulnerability to take center stage. The monotony of making an album over two years subconsciously comes through in songs about immobility and frustration, loitering in your own mind, being caught in a loop. What's left is James at his most vulnerable and earnest. (continue)

Edinburgh electronic-indie group redolent share new single, "funner", the follow-up to recent comeback track "ok wow." Where "ok wow" sat with the discomfort of an argument's aftermath, "funner" moves in the opposite direction: a warm, upbeat electronic track built around a genuine moment of happiness on tour, an ice cream sandwich and a sunset standing in for what the band describe as the opposite of a panic attack.

Speaking on the track, the band said: "It's funny looking back on funner, it's a bit of an attempt at a pop song for a major label. It takes me back to that time. I remember sitting on Andy's car in Texas with an ice cream sandwich watching a sunset and having what felt like the opposite of a panic attack. I like its place on the album as a kind of goofy, disarming, not-that-deep break from a lot of the more intense, darker stuff on there." (continue)

Angus & Julia Stone release their brand-new studio album, Karaoke Bar, via Virgin Music, a record shaped by travel, instinct and human connection. The record comes with its focus track, "The Start," a cosmic convergence of beats and harmonies that captures the album's sense of quiet wonder and introspection.

Written and recorded across Greece, France and Australia, Karaoke Bar captures a period of movement and creative exploration for the duo, with each location leaving its imprint across the music. Much of the album was developed during periods of writing and recording in between touring their 2024 album Cape Forestier, with the time on the road and the quiet gaps between shows informing the reflective, free-flowing nature of the record. The result is a body of work that moves between intimacy and expansiveness, grounded in emotional clarity and a shared sense of experience. (continue)
