aja monet — “the color of rain”

aja monet’s the color of rain is a 2026, 15-song spoken-word and jazz album that integrates poetry into the body of the band — political, intimate, communal, and a serious musical work by an artist expanding what the centre of a song can be.

Simon Talbot — “Never”

Simon Talbot’s “Never” is an ambitious solo songwriter album built around love, imagination, escape, and strange emotional geography. Across twelve tracks, the London artist moves through portals, make-believe cities, mysterious men, humanoids, and roads to nowhere, creating a release that feels part rock album, part dream journal, and part personal myth.
