Would-Be-Goods, with their magnificent debut album, released in 1988, on the legendary él label, The Camera Loves Me, had a tremendous influence on the birth and development of the twee pop scene. They were initially conceived as one of the “artificial” groups on Mike Alway’s él label, based on the glamorous looks of Jessica Griffin and her sister Miranda, but it was immediately clear that Jessica Griffin was a highly talented songwriter: her songs are original and cultured, blending observation, glamour, and culture with exquisite melodies. Mondo, produced by Monochrome Set singer Bid, was released in 1993, and when in 1999 Peter Momtchiloff, formerly of Talulah Gosh, Heavenly, and Marine Research joined the band, two EPs, Emmanuelle Béart (in 2001) and Sugar Mummy (in 2002), were released, followed by a new album, Brief Lives, released on Matinée Recordings.  The band recorded a fourth album, The Morning After, in 2004 and a fifth, Eventyr, was released in November 2008. It was only in October 2020, during lockdown, that Jessica Griffin began a new project: writing a song a day, with a new title provided every evening by her partner and bandmate Peter Momtchiloff. The Night Life was released in June 2023, and comprises twenty songs from the ‘song a day’ project. Tears Before Bedtime is their new album and it will be released via Skep Wax Records on February 13th 2026. The first single is The Gallopers.

We’ve always loved the music of The Last Dinosaur, Jamie Cameron’s project known for its atmospheric, intimate, and spacious arrangements — piano, acoustic guitar, viola and strings, minimal electronics, layered vocals, and ambient textures. Comparisons to artists such as Talk Talk, Penguin Café Orchestra, and other experimental ambient-folk hybrids have always felt apt and revealing. Now, five years after the extraordinary Wholeness, his last solo album, and more than two years after Black and White Memories Ignited by the Scent of Springtime Explode in Colour — his delicate and experimental collaboration with Lila Tristram — The Last Dinosaur returns with a song that redefines everything we thought we knew about Jamie Cameron’s sound. Closer in spirit to Not Not Cool, his recent collaboration with Will Clapson, Lonely Fans is a disconcerting yet thrilling new single that pushes Cameron’s songwriting into unexpected territory — and you can preview it here. Once again, Cameron proves that restraint and experimentation can coexist, reaffirming his place among the UK’s most eclectic and innovative songwriters.

From Fort Collins, Colorado, Logan Farmer crafts music that lingers in the quietest corners of folk — intimate, slow-moving and heavy, with atmosphere. Soft guitars, murmured vocals, and the subtle drift of ambient textures that suggest distance, memory, and decay. Farmer’s writing often turns on the small collisions between the personal and the universal, tracing how environmental and emotional fragility echo one another. After early experiments under the name Monarch Mtn., he released his debut as Logan Farmer, Still No Mother (2020), a stark, quietly urgent meditation on isolation and climate dread. A Mold for the Bell (2022) followed, refining his sound into something even more spare and cinematic, with contributions from Mary Lattimore and Joseph Shabason adding a fragile shimmer around his voice. His most recent work, the Butchers EP (2025), turns inward again, pairing field recordings and minimalist instrumentation with lyrics that read like fragments from a fading diary. Farmer’s music occupies a rare register: contemplative but unsentimental, rooted in the folk tradition yet open to drone, ambient, and experimental gestures. Each release feels like a small, self-contained world — an invitation to listen closely, and to sit with the uneasy beauty that remains when everything else has quieted down.
Nightmare World I See The Horizon, his third album, will be released by Western Vinyl on January 16th, 2026. The first single is Manhattan, which is out now.
