OUT NOW: 'A LONG HAUL' by PETER MASON
“There are some truly beautiful songs on this CD” - Country Gazette, (The Netherlands)
“A great talent and a fine piece of musical craftsmanship” - Zabadak
“A superb selection of songs.” - Laura Bethell, Maverick
£9.99(GBP) + P&P
'DISHES & PILLS' by AUDREY RYAN
"A lush, beautifully arranged slice of indie pop." - Bangor Daily
"A genuine weirdo, Ryan’s songwriting and vocal style also might remind one of more modern female artists from Bjork to Shivaree to The Softies, and the menagerie of instrumentation is more out on the lunatic fringe à la the Dresden Dolls or Daniel Johnston. It’s a truly enjoyable musical schizophrenia that you could listen to 50 times and still hear something different each time." - Valley Advocate
£8.00(GBP) + P&P
Gwildor's new album 'TALES FROM A TOWN'
"meandering folk loveliness" - Bethan Elfyn, BBC Radio 1

"A lovely track" - Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1 (of 'You Just Lost Your Way')£10.00(GBP) + P&P

'Take A Look At The Sea' - if wen
“…a really great album that we will be featuring again over the course of the next few weeks.” - DJ Sean Rowley on his show The Joy Of Music, BBC Radio London, 94.9FM
“They like to keep things simple in Cornwall. “Take A Look At The Sea” was written sat on a beach in West Cornwall. It was recorded in a barn, I swear you can actually hear gulls at one point. It was not until Tim Dennen of Belle & Sebastian fame got to master it, did it get anywhere near sophistication, well as far as the sound is concerned. As far as the songs go, this has sophistication written all over it. The songs capture a raw emotion and wildness, but within adult songs that go far deeper than many song writers are capable of going. If Wen has been to the depths and survived.” - FATEA/Cambridge & Beyond
“expansive and captivating” - Lee Trewhela, The Cornish Guardian
£9.99 + P&P
'Sorepaw' - Pulco
“For his latest album, Ash Cooke, aka Pulco, has gone right back to basics and he seems to be thriving on it. “Sorepaw” was recorded on a Tascam Portastudio in the bedroom of his new home whilst waiting for the studio to be built. He also had to do it without waking his two young daughters. The result is an enchanting and delicate album that’s pretty much stripped back to guitar and voice. The impact however is huge. It has a charm that weaves around the deceptively simple phrasing. The guitar almost as expressive as the voice as they carry you off to a safe place” - FATEA/Cambridge & Beyond £7.99 (GBP) + P&P
