COVER STORY: @KatyJPearsonnn 🏹
Katy J Pearson is primed to deliver a hat-trick of lauded hits with her third record, 'Someday, Now', on the way.
It's brimming with tracks that sound like "classics" and
a more "mature" mood than ever before. But it hasn't been any easy journey to this point, and despite its undoubted quality, perils still lay ahead.
So, we caught up the Songbird of the West Country herself and discussed the inspirations that led to this point and the problems within the modern music
industry that she still has to battle with. 🕊️
From geeing up with The Stranglers, to dreams of jamming with PJ Harvey and flipping a middle finger to the music industry by refusing TikTok, we delved into the world of KJP and, in the process, found a semblance of the soul that makes her one of today's finest, most original, and entirely natural artists.

🌀 COVER STORY 🌀
If you scrape the clotted remnants of gear from a troubled fingernail and flick it, grinningly, into an apocalyptic dystopia, it shouldn’t land too far from the territory Fat White Family chartered with their 2013 debut album, Champagne Holocaust. In a 21st-century echo of The Velvet Underground’s dark psychedelia, band leader Lias Saoudi established an anarchic playground of salacious meddling and medicine-mixing apt for a menagerie of south London hedonists navigating their 20s.
Fast forward just over a decade, and Saoudi sits opposite us, cheeky grin intact. The focus of our conversation is, of course, the imminent album Forgiveness Is Yours. The long-awaited release continues on the trajectory of refinement configured deftly in 2019’s Serfs Up! but retains the gritty nuances crucial to the Family’s DNA.

@chico11mbit @thenitinsawhney Shane said "it was a happy time for the group. It's our Bohemian Rhapsody.” It also lined the band’s pockets, so I’d say ‘hated’ is a strong word.
REVIEW: @beatowlsinfo - ‘MARMA’
"This debut album doesn’t charter untrodden territory, but as a celebration of various musical influences, young and old, it’s veritably refreshing."

To call @brianeno the ‘King of Ambient Music’ would be selling the man short. After all, he has furnished an elegant career for over half a century with all manner of artistic triumphs bleeding far beyond music, let alone genres.
On October 30th, during a very special evening at the Royal Festival Hall in London, however, Eno consolidated his vital position in music history as an acute, foundational ear for ambient composition.
